Justice becomes cruelty

     When does Justice become cruelty? This is a very hard question for anyone to answer. The thought that comes to my mind when i think about this question is murder for Justice.
     In the graphic novel "Persepolis" Marjane learns that people who disobey the law ,if a women are raped, and are killed. Since virgins cannot be killed, virgins who disobey the law are married, have their virginity taken, and then are killed.
     In "Things Fall Apart" the British captured Okonkwo and some other people, and held them captive. Okonkwo and the people captured wanted to kill them. But the rest of the Colony did not want to fight them.
    There is an old saying, an eye for an eye, but i don't really like this term. For instance if a drunk driver gets in an accident and accidentally kills the people that were with them. Should the drunk driver be killed because he killed someone? I don't think that its right. So in my personal opinion murder for Justice is when Justice becomes cruelty.

Different viewpoints

It is very important for people to understand at a personal level the very complex situation that is going on in the Middle East. People should really try to look at the situation from all viewpoints in order to really start to understand what is going on. By looking at the situation from all viewpoints we can make better decisions on weather we should bomb them or send troops in to help solve the fighting. If people could start to see things from different viewpoints as well as their own, then there probably would be a lot less wars and killings as there is now.

First impression

From what i have read in the past few days about Iran and the middle east is that they are very devoted to their religion. They pray five times a day, and their government is based on religion. They are also very war based. 

Conflicts

   Achebe has written how the British being in Nigeria has caused the country to be corrupt.  This is an very true statement in my opinion. Because the British came onto the land and said their religion is the correct religion and all should follow it. This caused them to fight back for their own beliefs and customs. Some Nigerians rebel again the change but others others except the change. Because of this, tensions between groups of people that were not their before rose. After the British came, Nigeria was always at war.
