Advanced Criminal Justice, Class 8: Quiz 1, Period 1, 02.02.06

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

[OOC: Quiz! For those not in the know, Tick's quizzes deal in general knowledge, hypothetical situations, and metaphor. Big shock, isn't it? Have fun. Please get them done by Saturday, but I'll accept any turned in before next Tuesday. All good? Good. Class Info Post.]

The Tick was standing by his desk when the class walked in. Lockheed was back in his usual spot, holding a cup of soup and slurping loudly at random moments. He of course kept this up until the last person handed in their quiz.

"Welcome, class! Congratulations on surviving after Tuesday's class. Today you have your first quiz for Justice this semester! Hopefully Karma is smiling at us in earnest and you'll all do just fine on the quiz and return safely to class next Tuesday. Good luck!"

Tick then handed out the quizzes.

1. Bugs Bunny: What is his deal, in terms of Justice?

2. Imagine two puppies quarrelling. Would your usual methods of negotiation/force to stop the fight still be applied? How would things change?

3. Explain the difference between Vengence and Justice with a metaphor involving the common farm animal of your choice.

EC. Please write a brief descriptive paragraph using a comparison between Justice, squirrels and the color blue.

1. Bugs Bunny is a repeat offender in stalking, pranking, and property destruction and impromptu re-decoration, motivated by amusement and a lust for attention. He should be sued until he stops, or writes a best-selling novel to cover the expenses he incurs on the public.

2. Aside from just separating them, you have to train them to get along. Education of the utterly wilful and young can help negate violence before it starts. Of course, if they are boy puppies, this is probably still hopeless.

3. Vengeance is like bull which charges at anything waved in its face and quite possibly takes out innocent bystanders and the fences of Society when irate. However, Justice would be leading that same bull into a paddock, feeding it, teaching it to abide by certain guidelines, and thus getting a nice hamburger out of it farther down the road. One has an immediate payoff of spectacle but chaos, the other, concrete benefits.

Justice is not unlike a flying squirrel. It launches itself into the blue skies of the world, hoping to land on a receptive branch of humanity, but sometimes misses-- but because it is Justice, it flattens itself out, somersaults, twirls, and then finally lands on solid ground. In aiming high for those blue skies, it is often brought down by gravity and the expectations of the population; but it also increases the chances of landing on a higher and higher branch, allowing for a clearer view and more open vista, which it can share with all.
