1)  How can it be said that "acting unjustly does not necessarily imply
being unjust?"  I know that Aristotle offers an 'explanation' of this
statement in the next to last paragraph but it doesn't make much sense
to me.

2)  Is "justice" supposed to benefit the 'common good' or an
individual?  That seems to be a preconceived notion by many people.  In
Rawls' writing he states that justice is "a complex of three ideas:
liberty, equality, and reward for services contributing to the common
good."  I'm not sure if 'justice' works in the favor of an individual or
a society.
 

Robby Nickles: Aristotle, Justice as Fairness

1.  The just is defined as lawful and fair, and the unjust as the
unlawful and unfair.  However, if an authority figure such as a police
officer, who would be considered "just" were to make a mistake making
the "fair" unfair, would that make the officer unjust?

2.  How can one define "just" in a human society where everyone makes
mistakes.

 Lauren Fabrizi: Week 2: Defining Justice, "Nicomachean Ethics"

" Justice as Fairness": Does John Rawls see justice as fair?
 

Larry McLemore    week 2   Justice "Justice as Fairness"    John Rawls
1) How is an agreement reached about what "justice" is among different
social institutions?
2) Is it possible to achieve the justice of equal liberty for everyone that Rawls writes about in this world or in our country?  Will it ever be?

Neal Obert LAS Week #2 "Nicomacean Ethics" and "Justice as Fairness" 
Question #1 Page 11 Section 6: 
"Since acting unjustly does not necessarily imply being unjust, we must ask what sort of unjust acts imply that the doer is unjust with respect to each type of injustice,..." 
    This statement is some what confusing. If you act unjustly are you not unjust? Please interpret what ideas of the author. 

Question #2 
    The question is in reference to statement made by John Rawls on page 16 (last sentence). "Each person will, however, insist on an advantage to himself, and so on a common advantage, for none is willing to sacrifice anything for the other." 
    Are we as a society today, too self-centered in our search for justice that we cannot see past ourselves and look for the greater justice for everyone?

 Jaime Jernigan, Week 2 readings: Defining Justice [late]
Readings : Aristotle and Rawls
Do you think that Aristotle and Rawls would agree with Plato's examples of the "pure" doctor, grammarian, or mathemtician in defining justice?

More specifically, in the Aristotle reading, he speaks of the "unjust" and the "just"  man - are those ideas pure in the same sense of Plato's doctor, etc? 

Is there a point at which the "just" man can become unjust simply by acting contrary to that and vice versa for the "unjust" man? Or, once an "unjust"  person always one, and again vice versa.

(It might be helpful to read this outloud if it doesn't make sense at
first!!!)

Sarah Chesnutt, Week 2
1)  Karl Marx is a firm believer that private property is a horrible and demeaning possesion.  He believes that it seperates people and that people do not actually own anything, but simply produce items and that production takes away from the individual.  However, the Roman Catholic church states that private property gives man a sense of ownership and importance and is essential.  So, which one is right?  Marx or the Church?

2)  What is just about another man who happens to have the title "businessman" to spend millions of consumers' money?  Isn't that theft?

Jaime Jernigan, Week 3, Economic Justice
Readings: Marx, Pinto Memo

Please allow me to go ahead and apologize for I stick my foot too far in
my mouth if either of you find this comment offensive. The Marx piece
really irritated me for some reason, and it has taken me a  couple of
days to figure out why. I think I'm appalled at the audacity he takes to
assume that all  workers are uhappy with their situation and deserve
better, or that all owners (or people in positions of power over the
"oppressed") would take advantage of that circumstance. In an ideal
society, an equal amount of everything for everybody would be incredible
- but we have never and will never live in such a society, so why pursue
it? We discussed human nature a little in class Friday - not all people
are independent thinking (or independent at all) and rely on someone for
guidance. Granted the person chosen might not be of the best scruples,
but that is the way it seems to work nonetheless. Marx speaks of
injustice for the "workers", the "property-less", the "oppressed" - what
about the injustice of his assumption that the opposites of those just
mentioned are evil in someway for being in the position they're in? As
if they are not oppressed in some other way  - is there a better
situation to be oppressed in or in spite of and deserves more
compassion?

Second, what happend with the pinto memorandum? I find it almost funny
that Ford would even have the audacity to say that by allowing people to
die who placed their trust, money, and lives into a car manufactured by
them, it was justified because it was cheaper than replacing or
repairing the problem. . .. . but also curious as to what else they've
decided to ignore for the sake of money . . .. . . . . .

Chris Koogler
Question 1:  Why would Ford, Knowing that thePinto's had a defect that
might cause the lives of the passengers, not stop production or fix the
problem?
Question 2:  According to The World's One Hope, why is the burden of the
suffering put upon those who are already suffering and not those who are
kind and happy?

Rachel Palmer LAS 102: Justice Week Three 
Readings: Bertolt Brecht, Milton Friedman, Ford Pinto Memorandum 
Questions: 
Are the Milton Friedman and Fort Pinto Memorandum selections actually saying that society requires them to have social responsibilities and are these companies happy to do so as long as the responsibility does not interfere with making a profit? 

The poem written by Bertolt Brecht raised an important question in my mind.  Why are we
as a society ok with living in misery or just complaining about they existing conditions but
unwilling to work on creating a solution for it? 

Charles Hastings

1.  Do you agree that opression is unavoidable? and why or why not?

- the ford pinto memorandum
2.  Is it justifiable that the Ford Motor Co. made more money than the
victims made in the incompetence of building an inferrior automobile?

Neal Obert Question #1  Karl Marx: 
    This question is in reference to the Karl Marx article. The first paragraph, second column
of page 19, begins talking about how labor is external to man and not apart of his essential
being. The rest of the paragraph talks about how labor degrades man, and brings him down.
I disagree with Karl Marx because I believe working teaches responsibility, and brings
self-satisfaction. 

Question #2 Milton Friedman: 
    I thought it was interesting on page 25 when Friedman talked about "social responisblities"
in referance to the corporate excutive. He states the excutive has a responsiblitly to his
family, conscience, church, clubs, etc.. This made me realize I had a sterotypical view of the
"corporate excutives" as being greedy old men who wear suits to work. I'm sure there are
people in the world that fit that description, but this writing made me realize they have some
of the same responsibilies as me even though they are extremely rich.

1.Okay i undersand from "The Clash of Civilizations" that countries are coming to know each other more and beginning to understand each others cultures. All this sounds good but has anybody realized that by us doing this there are more marriages and relationships of different cultures coming together and this is making us all one instead of being known by our nationality we are just a mix. This is not the way it was meant to be. and I dont know if this is a good or bad thing.

Rachel Palmer Week 5 A Room of Ones Own
June Jordan Poem
Stirrings of Discontent

In the Virginia Woolfe reading I was quite interested in the fact that
today women have so much freedom but so many years ago women were
treated as property and were thought to be nothing more than baby
makers. I wonder if women were treated this way because men were afraid
that they would be less of a man or they might lose their dominance that
they found so important. It angers me to think of the way women were
treated. Although things are tremendously better some people still think
that the only place a women should be is at home. I think that women
have shown their strength and knowledge with the ability to be able to
balance family as well as work. Why are men in general so afraid to
accept women as knowledgable powerful equals?

The reading Stirrings of Discontent really aggravated. What are these
men complaining about?  I realize that these men weren't the oneswho
oppressed women and minorities in the past and maybe not even today . It
seems to me that these men were complaining because for the first time
someone else had some power and was in a position of dominance and for
some reason men cannot handle that.

Lauren Fabrizi Week 5 Woman's Justice
"Poem about My Rights"
   Why does the woman feel so sorry for herself?
   Why she keep referring to 'she is the wrong sex the wrong age the wrong skin'?

Rachel Palmer Week 5 2/18/01 ARoom of Ones Own
Stirrings of Discontent
Virginia Woolfe's reading really made me think about the role of women
throughout history. She pointed out that women are pretty much ignored
in historical writings although they are portrayed as having personality
in fictional writings. It seems so weird to think that at one time women
were property and the only thing they were thought useful for was to
take care of the house and children. It makes me wonder why these views
were ever in place and like June Jordan wrote in her poem who made up
these rules of society?

The stirrings of discontent article really aggravated me. For centuries
the white male has held all power and dominance and suddenly now woman
and minorities are taking over that power and these men are whining
about losing some of there identity. What about the times that women and
minorities wer not even thought of as human beings worth anything.If
they really feel like no one cares about them any more thay should stop
complaining and do something about it.
 
 

Neal Obert Question #1  Virgina Wolf "A Room of One's Own"
    Why were the injustices against women spoken of on page 83 acceptable during this time
period? Could anything have been done to prevent them from occurring?

Question #2 Ellis Cose "Stirrings of Discontent"
    Is their any compromise between men, women, and minorities in our society. Will the
opportunities for these groups ever be equal or will one group always have an advantage?

Lauren Carr
On page 84 the second paragraph kind of contridicts itself by saying that a
woman is nothing but yet dominates the lives of kings but yet she is
relatively nothing in history.. That just doesnt make sense to me.

Just a thought that came to my mind, How can men be so critical? For a man
to be here some woman birthed him and yet he would treat her back in the
shakesperean period, like she was property. That is horrible.

In the reading "stirrings of discontent" it talks about how men do not feel
powerful that they feel vulerable and off balance. I think from the men I
know and have been around they feel anything but vulnerable most men do feel
powerful and thats what the problem is. They think they can handle any
problem.

Lauren Walworth, Week #6 Justice in Sexuality
"Sex and the Brain" /David Nimmons
1.  LeVay's research on sexual orientation was widely-criticized.  Anne
Fausto-Sterling said, "He [LeVay] claimed a wide variation in the size
of these brain nuclei in gay and straight men, but there was still a
broad overlap between straight and gay."  Does this overlap make the
results of the research less valid and weaken the argument that sexual
orientation is biological?

2.  How would it affect society's viewpoint on homosexuality if it was

many people have against them.

1.) Why did the author say that non-scientist only understand parts of the world?
2.) Why is the ability to make war easier in non developed countries?
 

What did the Tao te Ching article mean by "Governing a great state is like cooking small
fish."? 
 

2.  In the Constitution it doesn't say anything about repairations for the disadvantaged or captured.  The Chinese were given repairations when they got out of the camps after WWII.  Why shouldn't descendants of slaves receive the same repairations for keeping the economy going through centuries of work.

1)  The writers of the Declaration state that when a ruler forces "absolute despotism" upon the people it is the people's right and duty to overthrow the government.  Why did they use the phrase "absolute despotism" when this type of government was not being forced upon the colonists?

2)Also in the Declaration of Independence, Were the colonists attempting to insult the King by not using his name?
