Pearl Harbor
Preventing Injustice

“Injustice any where is a threat everywhere,” as Martin Luther King stated. It varies from bullying to unjust workers. The Holocaust is a great example of injustice. Innocent Jewish people were killed for just being of their faith. Racial Discrimination and bullying are a few other examples of injustice that are prevented. This could have been prevented, granted people did not act as fast as they did to follow Hitler. Such injustice should keep from happening in the future. Injustice comes in many ways and forms. From bullying to unfair judging of others. The Holocaust was a great example of injustice. The Jewish community did not deserve such torment for being Jewish. In World War 2 Adolph Hitler wanted to clear Germany of all Jews and turn Germany into a communist country. The injustice that was happening in Germany was spreading across Europe. Eventually other countries like Italy and Russia were under the influence of communism. This injustice was spreading across Europe .The United States found this to be unjust and had to interfere because they found this to be a threat to them. War crimes such as this are perfect examples of injustice. Another example is the racism of the 60’s. There was so much fighting towards the Black population and it was unfair. The African-American population had been seeking freedom and equal rights since slaves were freed. Dr. Martin Luther King tried to make equal rights true for all. He did such and succeeded, which led to equal rights and no more racial discrimination. There are many more ways that injustice shows up in history but these are some main examples. Even from a simple shove to a kid you do not like to something as upscale as the Holocaust, injustice should be prevented. Injustice may be widespread, but it can be stopped. The Holocaust and Racial Discrimination were unjust, but they were stopped, which proves that any injustice can be stopped. You could do something as little to tell a

    Examples of injustice can first be found in the area of family laws. In Law 195, it states that “If a son has struck his father, his hands shall be cut off.” (Doc C) This is unfair because if a son gets mad and hits his father, should he really have his hands cut off? You might be thinking, if he really meant to hit his dad, it would be a just punishment because he can’t hit anyone again, but if they cut off his hands, he would be a burden to society, unable to help out, and needing extensive care; is that fair to society? Second, in Law 129 the punishment for adultery is being bound and thrown into the water (Doc C). Does the punishment fit the crime? Then you…

    There are countless times in our current events that racism shows through, but people are not successful in stopping it. When a black student was killed by a white cop within the last few years, other black students created a campaign called “Hands up don’t shoot”. Though their intentions were good, like Atticus the students were unable to drastically change anything. Justice can be defended in many ways, but transforming any society’s view is extremely…

    One thing that happened very recently was the bombing in Paris. The fans were just enjoying the France vs Germany soccer game and heard loud noises that sounded like bombs. People were crazy enough to strap bombs to them and go in big crowds of people and the bombs blew up and killed the people around. At least 128 people were killed, and there were also people injured. Another thing that is unfair that happened in our world a few years ago was 9-11. 9-11 is when two airplanes came within minutes of each other and crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center. The people inside the towers and on the planes were killed. Over 3,000 people were killed. These were both tragic events in our world’s history and were not fair to those who were killed or injured.…

    Justice is a complex matter affecting issues in all contexts of our society; it can affect both the individual and society at large. Justice can be defined in 2 different ways; there is moral justice and legal justice, moral is the right to being treated fairly by society, regardless of skin, religion or disability and legal being defined as the actions taken when the moral code has been broken. For example, in ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ written Harper Lee and ‘My Name is Khan’ directed by Karan Johar, both protagonists fight against the injustices in their societies based on an individual injustice and through this they have a massive impact on their community at large.…

    Every human being is entitled to certain rights simply because because he or she is a human being. Some of those rights are the right to life, the right to happiness, and the right to live life without discrimination. Human rights are expected to be respected and followed, but historical events have proven the fact that they are not always acknowledged. Two scenarios in which human rights are violated are the Holocaust and slavery. Even though people may say that they believe human rights are important, not every person shows support for their claims.…

    One reason I think people get treated so horribly is by the color of their skin and their religion. Hitler would send people to concentration camps because of their skin or religion. Hitler discriminated mainly to the Jews. He would have them line up men in one line women and children in the other. People still discriminate today and even in the past. We had a whole civil war against slavery and then ended up to…

    “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” An act of inequity for some could result in inequality for all, unless citizens of the world do something about it. A current example of inequality for one would be how females are being treated compared to males in a variety of settings. People of color and different races are another example of people receiving unequal treatment. Throughout the world, inequality can be seen through those who are less fortunate than others. Every individual regardless of gender, race, and socioeconomic status deserves the right of freedom and justice.…

    People are often mistreated because of their circumstances: not enough money, a different skin color, or contradictory ideas. I can use my rights and potentially beneficial standpoint to defend other people’s right to express their opinion, or even just enter the local grocery store without being scorned. I can speak up if I see a group of kids bullying or ostracizing another child because of their differences, and do what I can to make their day just a little bit better.…

    Justice can be seen from numerous amounts of perspectives where it is due to the upbringing of the person or due to their cultural beliefs, however they are all guided by the principal of fairness. Sadly though, sometimes we may be powerless to prevent injustice from occurring, as we are not always in the position where we are able to do something. This however should not mean we lose all hope, there must never be a time when we fail to protest as justice is important. Without justice we would have no fairness, no equality, no honesty. It was once said by Martin Luther King; "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere". We should not let justice go on unannounced and unheard of, we must always protest against something of which we believe is wrong.…
