ideas essay 4

I was thinking about writing about how people take actions of law into their own hands. From the novel that I just read, the woman had killed her husband for harming their daughter. I understand why she did it but taking matters of law into your own hands is not justice. The idea I have for essay four is to write about how people kill or harm others that do wrong.

yea the way how people think it is their job to show others what they think and know is right, although what might be right in their culture might be diffrent in another. there are a lot of examples on how people say they were just trying to defend themselves where they go overboard on doing what they should do. it's kinda like a spur of the moment thing, they take action without thinking it through all the time.

I agree. It hard for me to imagine a normal person would want to actually kill another person just to show justice. When a person try to kill or harm another person, it must involved some angry emotion. And a little angry is enough to make a person do something without thinking it clearly. That is not the real justice.
