Poetic Justice, an outcome in which vice is punished and virtue is rewarded usually in a manner peculiarly or ironically appropriate for instance when humans attempt to control nature and are justly punished. This can be found in Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton, a story in which a crazed scientist, John Hammond, assembled a team of top scientists to recreate extinct dinosaurs to use as attractions at his amusement park. In Jurassic Park by Michael Crichton, Ed Regis, John Hammond, and Dennis Nedry were rightly punished. One character to suffer from poetic justice is John Hammond, the owner of InGen. Throughout Jurassic Park John Hammond is deceptive, selfish, and misleading which is wrong because although what he did wasn’t very serious it could have gotten worse over time and he could have begun to lie about serious situations and end up committing a crime, therefore, he had to die before he caused someone to be someone to be …show more content…

Ed Regis is selfish, cowardly, and lazy which is bad because it could have led to him being in a serious situation with someone’s life on the line but since he was cowardly he may have fled, undoubtedly, he had deserved to die before his cowardliness hurt someone. After running away from the kids because there is t-rex nearby Grant, who is now with the kids, notices Regis in the dark and a juvenile tyrannosaur.

In Zoot Suit by Luis Valdez, the author communicates the larger idea that violence is the result of injustice in a given system by including scenes in which Henry is about to kill Rafas at the Saturday night dance, strikes a guard and gets sent to solitary, and is reported to have gone back to prison, killed an inmate, and gotten into drugs. From the beginning of the play, Henry succumbs to using violence due to being excluded from society. When Lieutenant Smith tries to interrogate Henry and insults his zoot suit, calling it a “monkey suit”, Henry reacts with verbal violence- “Screw you flatfoot”; he reacted in this manor because his cultural identity was attacked by an authority figure, which shows corruption with authority and those who hold power. This prompts violence from Henry

Justice is derived from the root word just, meaning agreeing to what is considered morally right or good; treating people in a way that is morally right; or reasonable or proper. However, society has become so entangled up in the power which certain individuals possess, they forget all about what is “just”. The justice theory is that justice is at the advantage of the stronger. When an individual is described or depicted as being “strong”, that individual is typically of a larger build, possesses some sort of weapon that causes them to be mighty, and is typically large in size. No matter what circumstances arise, these individuals are expected to be victorious in each battle they fight.

4 Criticism and Challenges The first point of criticism against victim participation in restorative justice processes arises from scepticism about an apology to the victim as a way of dealing with criminal matters. The perception sometimes exists as to it simply being a way to get away with the crime.106 Members of the public should thus be educated to understand that restorative justice is more than a mere saying sorry, but in the context of victim offender mediation or family group conferences it rather affords the victim the opportunity to confront the child offender with the real and human cost of his or her criminal actions. Another concern deals with the possible secondary victimisation of the victim in the case where the offender pretends

“Retribution” or “Retributive justice” can be defined as “a theory of justice that considers punishment, if proportionate, to be the best response to crime.” (Wikipedia, 2016) Peter Koritansky, philosopher and author made a distinction between two views on retributive punishment in his work entitled “Two theories of retributive punishment: Immanuel Kant and Thomas Aquinas” in 2005 in which he believed that the Thomistic understanding of retribution is superior to that of Kant and this write-up is going to outline the reasons as to why he think this is the case. To illustrate this, it is vital therefore that we understand the Kantian retributivism and Aquinas’s understanding of punishment. Firstly the Kantian retributivism or the theory of retributive by Immanuel Kant suggests that punishment in the form of coercion of force is necessary to establish justice and to punish criminals, he emphasized that “Punishment by a court…can never be inflicted merely as a means to promote some other good for the criminal himself or for civil society, but that it must always be inflicted upon him for the fact that he has committed a crime”

Justice is one of the most important moral and political concepts. The word comes from the Latin word jus, meaning right or law. According to Kelsen (2000), Justice is primarily a possible, but not a necessary, quality of a social order regulating the mutual relations of men As a result of its importance, prominent and knowledgeable people have shared their views on justice and what it means and how the state is involved in its administration.
