Advanced Criminal Justice, Final, Period 1, 05.02.06
[OOC: Handwave the final with an idea of how you did if you must, but you know you want to answer the questions, come on. A big thanks to
rory__gilmore who has helped me out so much with this class over the entire fake school year. Have some cookies! Anyway, work is likely to be murderous today, so probably slowplay if you want interaction. Class Info Post.]
"Welcome to your final Advanced Criminal Justice session, students!" Tick said after everyone was in the room. "People who had stuff to turn in, please do so now so you have it off of your mind."
"In just a moment, you'll have six questions of Justicey goodness. Please answer them to the best of your abilities and then you're done with my class!"
"Before you leave, though, please say a farewell to Lockheed. He'll be leaving us next week for greener pastures. He seems to claim that his work here is done, whatever that actually means."
1. On the Tricycle of Justice there are three wheels: the police, the courts, and the prisons. The front wheel supplies the powers to move and steer. The rear wheels provide balance and a place for a passenger to stand. Describe where you believe each Wheel of Justice is located on the tricycle.
2. Please write a paragraph about what Justice means to you, using at least three of the following phrases:
- drawn from the weeds
- brave like soldiers
- falling down under the pale moonlight
- like a someone broken
- stand in the wind
- free like water
- warmth of the sun
- both been shaken
Using five or more will gain extra credit.
3. What is the most important thing that you have learned about Justice this term?
Extra credit will be given to those who write their answer in the style of Dr. Seuss.
4. Former Principal Bristow was famed to use a spoon to fight for Justice. Professor Tick uses the word "spoon" as a battlecry. How would you use a utensil - or the idea of that utensil - combined with your knowledge of Justice this term?
5. Does Justice work in Fandom? Explain your answer.
6. Please write a paragraph on one of the following scenarios:
A) A marmoset steals a pie from a mouse and retreats to a tree. You are unable to reach it, no matter how you try. How will you negotiate with the tiny miscreant and/or victim? (Bear in mind that these are magical animals who can talk, of course.)
B) A criminal is decided to be innocent based upon insubstantial evidence and a possible jury bias. What can the average person do as recourse in the case of this Injustice?

Re: Take the test [Final]
2. Justice is something that is enacted in order to keep society from falling down under the pale moonlight. Those who work in the name of Justice may come from many different walks of society. Whether they were drawn from the weeds or raised to do so from birth, it is possible for them all to be brave like soldiers. These soldiers of Justice stand in the wind of Injustice in order to shelter society. Though Society and Justice have both been shaken on many occassions by this wind of Injustice, the soldiers of Justice work hard to ensure that people remain free like water, and able to enjoy the warmth of the sun on safe streets.
3. Justice, you see, is not always the same
For you, or for me, and it isn't a game...
Depending on their background and personal beliefs, everyone is going to have a different idea of what "Justice" means. Just because someone's idea of Justice does not match yours, it doesn't make it wrong. What works in one situation might not work in another, and so, if you happen to be a group of people fighting for Justice, it would be a good idea to include those with different perspectives, so that you can look at a situation from many different angles and attempt to find a solution that will hopefully work well enough for everyone.
4. I would actually use several utensils. A fork, knife, and a spoon- they could all represent different approaches to Justice. Just like different types of meals require different types of utensils- it's useless to attempt eating soup with a fork, for example- those who work in the name of Justice must always have different tools at their disposal. Failing that, I suppose they could be used as weapons.
5. Justice in Fandom works... so far.
It seems to be largely eye-for-an-eye- if something bad happens, the wronged party (or those acting on behalf of them) avenges these actions. I have yet to see anything involving a fair trial. Though this kind of Justice has always resulted favourably for those working on the side of Good so far, it may not always. When that time comes, it may be that Fandom's lack of experience with a judicial system may cause Justice to fail.
6. I'd point out that a mouse-sized pie is really not going to be very filling for a marmoset, which is much bigger. The marmoset would have to steal many more mouse-sized pies in order to satisfy its craving. This would lead to a hollow existence in which the marmoset thought of nothing but pie all day every day. Hopefully the marmoset would see how sad this would be to end up like that, and return the pie to its rightful owner.
