Advanced Criminal Justice, Class 28, Period 1, 04.20.06
[OOC: Continuing "Raid Wiki For Info" Week! Also, I've finally updated the Class Info Post.]
"Hello, students! Today we're discussing two opposing models of Justice. But first, a reminder: there's only a week of classes left!"
"Okay, the two models are the Conflict Model and the Consensus Model. The Conflict Model states that the organizations in the Justice System should - and perhaps do! - come into contention with each other. For example, police are determined to put people in prison and even have clearance rates. Similar stories with the prosecutors. But prison officials may be concerned wiith overcrowding and do what they can to limit their numbers. Perhaps they even let criminals out more easily."
"Another example would be the way that police can be so determined to arrest superheroes sometimes. Or the courts with their fines for public destruction. It's all conflict. Competition, even, to see which wheel on the Tricycle of Justice is the best."
"On the other end of the theoretical teeter totter is the Consensus Model. It says that the Justice System should - and perhaps does! - work together and cooperate. The police and courts work together to send bad people to prison. The prisons hold the bad people. Superheroes assist where they can. The important thing is that, egads, we're on a tricycle and we're having fun! Look at us zoom down this hill! Wheee!"
"Some people have speculated that we shoot for Consensus but Conflict is our reality. My question for you is what do you think about the whole thing? Consensus? Conflict? Are we one? Are we the other? Is one better? What are we doing with our shiny, red tricycle?"
"Please discuss!"

Turn Stuff In [Class 28]
Re: Turn Stuff In [Class 28]
Justice is a window letting the sunshine of right into the cold dark room of Society.

When I figure it out, I'll let you know.
Re: Turn Stuff In [Class 28]
Justice is like a window. Once it is shattered by the rogue baseball of villainy all hell and chaos will break loose. Anarchy will reign supreme. Lakes will turn into lemonade. Dog and cats will play poker together in the same velvet paintings. Elvis will come back to life and wear even more sequins in his Vegas comeback show. Most importantly? I'll actually agree that it is "Chung-Chung" not "Doink-Doink".
EC: Me. Girlfriend. Tahiti. 'Nuff Said.

Re: Turn Stuff In [Class 28]
The window of Justice can be many things; It can be open or closed, it can be clean or dirty, and sometimes it can give someone who tries to circumvent it a concussion.

I think I'm sticking around here for the summer and then heading off to college in the fall.
Re: Turn Stuff In [Class 28]
Justice is a window that allows Society to sit in its living quarters and enjoy the appearance of Order without having to necessarily smell the Smog of Corruption or hear the Annoying Beeping Horns of Politics. Jedi must occasionally jump through that window
and plummet down several stories, whee!in order to make sure that Society's view isn't disturbed.EC
I'm trying to get the Council to let me stay the summer, but after that it's back to work with Master Kenobi.

Summer camp!
