Justice
According
to Wikipedia, justice is “concept of moral rightness based on ethics,
rationality, law, natural law, religion, equity and fairness…[Wiki].”
Moral means a set of
standards indicating what is right and what is wrong. They can be internal or
external in their development.
Injustice, simply put,
means “unfair.”
I then handed out your majore assignment for this section. I have pasted the information below. Keep in mind that the presentation date is Wednesday, November 27. The students formed groups today and many picked the situation they want to examine. It is a first-come-gets-it format so you MUST see me before you start working on this.

Visual/Multimedia
Presentation
Through our understanding of the past,
we can make changes to the present and to the future. It just takes thoughtful
reflection, a true understanding of all aspects of the human condition, and the
ability to see ourselves for what we are and what we are capable of – either in
the positive or the negative.
Assignment:
Using
the United Nations Definition of Genocide,
research a situation that can be defined as such. My only condition here is
that it must be a 20th or 21st century incident.
You are to:
·
define the situation
·
provide
the expository and context (history)
·
provide
at least one first person account of the situation
·
create
a Powerpoint which provides visuals to reinforce your text and to support your
assertions, but DOES NOT state everything you are saying. Its purpose is to
expand, not to repeat
·
explain
how the situation you are presenting is defined as Genocide
·
demonstrate
how the situation could have been avoided, minimized, or stopped at the time.
·
Show how we can benefit from the knowledge you
have provided by connecting it to the world today.
·
Cite
all sources as indicated in the “Plagiarism” handout I provided you already.
·
Provide
me with a copy of your written work and “Works Cited” page.
You will be given five class days to
complete this task.
You may work in groups of two or three
(maximum).
Your presentation should be ten to
fifteen minutes in length
You cannot present on the Holocaust or
Rwanda
You will be marked on:
