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

[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 an accidental hero for Justice. The few times that he manages to fight for Justice, it was not because he consciously made the decision to do what is right. His intentions are for the most part selfish.

2. I would seperate the two puppies and maybe even punish them for the fighting. Theoretically, this is exactly how law inforcement works. Break both parties up, find who is guilty and give a punishment according to the crime. However, there is a huge difference in handling things when it comes to puppies. We don't expect the puppies to fully grasp why what they are doing is right or wrong. We hope that by punishing them, they will stop their behaviour but we don't expect them to understand the reasoning behind it. We're conditioning them. In a normal fight between humans, we want the people to understand that what they are doing is wrong and to take responsibility for their actions.

3. Justice is like the dog who herds the sheep back to their barn. It is the watchful eye that makes sure no one strays from the path and brings those home that do. Vengence is like the dog who catches the fox that bit all the chickens' heads off and does the same to the fox.

EC. Justice is an ideal that our imperfect society tries to reach. It is like the squirrels who jump from tree to tree and climb up the highest branches to reach the perfect blue sky. But sometimes the blue just stays out of reach, no matter how high the squirrel tries to jump.
