Washington dc/Chicago

On Monday morning, 34-year old Aaron Alexis opened fire inside a headquarters building killing twelve people and injuring eight people. Aaron Alexis was eventually shot and killed by police. Aaron had a shot gun and two pistols on him. They say that the gun man had a severe case of mental illness. Aaron Alexis was apart of the Navy Reserves and was cited eight times for misconduct. Six month old, Jonylah Watkins, was shot 5 times and killed Tuesday morning. The father of the baby was also shot but he was brought to near by hospital where he is in critical condition. The news says it was most likely gang related. 

In my opinion I feel that current criminal laws are enough to address justice in Washington DC and Chicago. If the current laws weren't enough I feel these situations would not get so much attention and police and FBI wouldn't try so hard to get to the bottom of things in BOTH situations. Even thought the situations were unfair to the victims of the families the police and investigators will try their best to bring justice to the families and community. I wouldn't change anything about the criminal laws.

utilitarianism

Utilitarianism actions are right if they are useful or for the benefit of a majority. But I don't nessacaraily agree with that because what if the majority of people want to do something negative that affects a lot of people. For example what if the majority of people wanted to start killing people, According to utilitarianism you with have to go with what the majority wants and if that really the right thing to do? 

Harvard Justice 1

I dont think that it's okay to kill 1 person to save 5. Each person is equal so what makes it right to kill that one person. The moral that I believe in is categorical. Just because you can save more people by making one die isn't right. 

Justice in Syria

     Justice is not be served in Syria. The Syrian people are not being treated the way that they should. Chemical attacks are being used and many citizens are getting hurt, if not killed, there needs to be a stop put to this. In my opinion justice is not being seced compared to justice in the u.s. If justice is being served properly in Syria it might me a little different than the U.S's justice system but it is defiantly correct the way it is going right now in Syria. The people in Syria do not deserve to be treated like this for no reason. This government is corrupt! 

       The United States is trying to help Syria out in the best way that we can. Obama stated that we will "not be putting boots on the ground" in Syria. The United States feels that the Syrian people do not deserve this and need to put a stop to it, and they will do whatever it takes to do so. Barack Obama states that "It’s my belief that for me, the president, to act without consensus in a situation where there’s not a direct, imminent threat to the homeland or our interests around the world, that that’s not the kind of precedent I want to set,". Obama wants to make things as less complicated as possible by trying to make president Bashar al-Assad step down from power first. The United States will do whatever it takes for Syria to get the justice they deserve
