what is justice?

            Justice is describing what is fair for a committed action, or if it’s the wrong thing there is a punishment. I don’t believe that life and American Society is fair because there are a lot of injustices happening each day. People that are guilty are sometimes rewarded and people that do and live in being fair are sometimes punished. Justice is not equal there is always inequality. The component that separates the people is money. If a person is accused of murder and he is rich, he can hire a good lawyer to prove his innocence and a private detective to find evidence to prove his innocence. If the person is rich he can find many resources to not go to jail, even if he is guilty he can prove he is innocent because he has the money to pay people to save him instead another person goes to jail paying his penalty.  If the same situation happened to another person but he did not had money, if he was accused of a murder he could not prove he is innocent because he does not have the money to pay a good lawyer to find evidence to prove him innocent and eventually he will be guilty in front of the judge and the jury, even though he is innocent he will go to jail. I thin that the punishment for a crime should be that  almost same if it was accidentally or intentionally  because the person knew it was an accident but that does not mean he is going to get a warning and that it he should be punished so he can learn for his mistake. I think that age should not matter when a person is being trailed because he/she was mature enough to do what he/she did then they should be mature enough to confront the consequences, I think that at the age of like fourteen or fifteen up the person should be trailed as an adult. Like if two boys are in a gang and one kills he other, the boy that killed the other should have the same sentence as if it was an adult. Something that happen that I think was unfair was when I was driving and a cop stopped me and he gave me and infraction and I have to go to court and I was considered a minor but I did not get a warning even though I recently got my drivers license three months ago and it was my firsts time being stopped by a cop. What I learned from this experience was to drive with more caution and to check my lights before I went to the outside driving.

I think that life is absurd because sometimes life doesn’t make sense, because life can makes us pass through different situations to end in the same ending. An example of this is that a person goes to a park and he takes different paths, that take him through different parts of the park but at the end he ends up in the same exit, it did not matter how much he walked he ended in the same part as an other person who did no walk that long. I don’t think that life has meaning or a purpose because nobody knows what their purpose in life is or what there are supposed to do with their lives. An example of this is a person may say the they have a purpose for what he is supposed to do with his life but he is changing of purpose every day, he doesn’t have a purpose he is just making it up because he creates his purpose and it’s not there already. I don’t think neither that there was a purpose to life before someone existed, because the person is the one that chooses what path they want to take in the world, a person can not choose the path of the other because they don’t know how the person is going to be and if he is going e able tot do what they want. An e4xample of this is that the parents of a boy they plan his future but they don’t know anything about the boy because he hasn’t been born, they don’t know if the baby is going to be born with heath problems, or any problems that he is going to face. I do think that the life of a person goes on without any propose or meaning because the person can create their own purpose for living. An example of this is maybe a marriage that he husband died, and the women feels her life has no purpose but she crates a purpose to be ok for her children. I don’t think it matters if there is a God  or a higher power because, it would be too busy trying to see everything at once that it would not have time to see one specific person for a problem. An example of this is a school principal he doesn’t know what every single students is passing through because he is too busy in other major problems. I don’t know what happens after a person dies. I think that it matters if there is happiness after a person die because the way the person knows that there is something else after the person dies and its not only nothing. An example of this when a person not lives their fullest and thy have the hope that there is another life but there isn’t and the person did not took the risk. I think it is possible for a person to crate a meaning to their lives because the give themselves courage to keep living what’s left of their lives. An example of this is person who is diagnosed that they are going to die but they make a purpose to like which gives them hope to keep living. If I could create my own purpose for my life I would say to be a criminal lawyer would be my purpose my goal.

What is Truth?

The truth is some statement that proves something is real and not false. Is something that that is real and that no one is lying or making false statements. It is possible to know if something is truth because there is some kind of evidence that supports it and it’s not only a thought or an opinion. There is a way to know if the statement is true or if it’s just an opinion and it’s the Socratic Method in which a person can see if their statement is true. There is difference between and opinion and what is true because and opinion is what a person think, it how the feels towards something, and the belief that something is true and knowledge it is that the person is really sure and he can prove it and sustain that position that the argument is true and not be undecided about his belief. We cannot trust our minds if something is true because sometimes the situations or the truth is not real, it’s just a false statement. The one that we should trust is our instincts because it tells us and we have the feeling that something is not true. It has happen many times where people say something is true or a situations where it looks that it is the truth and everyone believes that but there is a person who feels that’s not right but the people ignore him/her but at the end the truth comes out and it’s show that the person who had a feeling was right. We cannot only trust our mind but our feeling also to know if something is true or false

Love survey

My definition of love is a strong feeling that a person feels for an other, it’s a feeling that is shared by two people. I believe that love is real because love is what holds two people together think it is possible to know if a person is in love because they start to act different and people even notice it. The person cannot stop thinking of the person they love; they always want to be together. I don’t think that a person chooses who to love because the love that a person feels only appears we don’t decide when we wan to  fall in love and when we do decide to fall in love. There is a difference between falling in love and being in love, because when a person is falling in love they are barley feeling a feeling for a person and when a person falls in love they already have that feeling clear they already know what they are feeling for the person. I don’t think that their such a thing as true love because a person may say that they found their true love but you see that person in a couple of year and they are with another person, so I don’t think that true love does exists. I don’t rally think that there is a way to know to find out if a person really love you because they could be laying, or something so there is no way to know if a person loves you. I don’t think that a person can love two people at the same time because I consider that as attraction. I do think that there is connection between love and romance because if there is no love can’t be any romance and sex can be related to love but it also is not related to love. Love can be blind because a person may not see the reality that they live in, they may not see how the person really is. If a person wants to get more out of love they have to put in more to love, it’s not possible to put a little effort on love and expect a lot. Love fade or die if the person does not take care of making feel the person loves or if the person is hurt constantly. Love cannot conquer everything, there are problems and situations that love cannot conquer. Men and women see love the same but the explain it different at the end they mean the same thing.

Fate or Free will?

I believe in free will and in fate at the same time. I believe in fate because when I was small I was sick and apparently I was pretty bad. One day my mom worried because I was bad, and she took me to the hospital. At the hospital they told her that if she did not brought me to the hospital, the next day I would be dead. So I do believe in fate because if it was free will would be dead because for my free will I have not gotten there because I was to small and I would have not know how sick I was. So I think that all that had to do with fate.

“What is Identity?”

I define the word self as one person, as a singular person. I think that self is located somewhere in the body of a human being. I When talking about the world “find yourself “I think that find yourself is to know you, is a person who tries to fond how she/he is form the inside and form the outside. I think that to find how a person is can be hard, but it takes some time to be able to figure it out, but it is possible to find ourselves, because a person may know how they are but they found out they are different sometimes. Time can change the identity of a person, because the identity can be shaped through out time and the situations the person have been living through, because I’ not the same person or have the same identity 15 years ago, or 10 years ago, my identity changes every day that passes because I live different challenges that change my life. They can cause good changes in my identity or a bad effect toward my identity. I think that identity is based on my mind the way I think and the memories that are hold in my brain. I think that the mind has mostly everything to do with my identity because there’s where my feeling are hold, and in my memory are all the challenges that I have passed through, and also the mind is the one that controls the body it tells how to react and what to do. I think if I could change something to no be me would be my childhood, I think that if my childhood was different I would have a different identity because I could happen that I would be a better person I it would have turn out to be a disaster. I think that identity is not a story because a person already has, identity but with the passed of the years it was shaped, through the different situation that the person passed trough’s think that we define our identity and not other people because the situation change our identity but the people may say how we need to be put they cannot make us have that identity it’s our choice how we want to be. I’m Jessica Lucas and what makes me are my family, beliefs, religion, and friends.  I know who I am because, I see myself everyday and I act in a certain way every day of my life.
