Justice

             Justice is determining whether something is right or wrong. This distinction is made in every different situation. Because of the fact that it will be too long to write about the ever broad definition of justice, in this essay, I will address the issue of justice as applied to heroism.
             If a person sees 100 dollars on the ground, it’s the right thing to leave it there or pick it up and find the owner. The wrong thing to do is to pick it up and use it yourself. The justice that people think might change depending on the person. A person might think that picking it up and using it is okay because it’s the fault of the owner to fail to hold onto it. They will use it because they think that if they do not pick it up, other person would later pick it up and use it as theirs too. Therefore the first one to pick it up would be the new owner. This is something that people often misunderstand. I believe that if a person finds a 100 dollar bills, you have to give it back to the owner or give it to the police station so that they can find the owner.
             I believe that heroes are often thought first when the word justice comes up. They always do the right thing and what benefits everyone. In Batman, the movie which many children like. At the last, batman sacrifices himself to the benefit of the common people. There was a bomb that was just about to explode, and batman thought about bringing it to the space and exploding it there. It was a tough choice for him because he knew that he was going to die. However, because he was hero, he knew that what he will do is the right thing. He went to his helicopter and carried the bomb himself to outer space and exploded with the bomb.
             The jury is also a part where justice plays a role. In the jury, the judge decides if the person is guilty or not guilty. It’s the same thing as determining if it’s the right thing or not. Many criminals commit crimes when they feel threatened or some people do it out of fun. Robbers are people who needs money. They can’t live if they do not steal other people’s stuff. It’s the jury’s decision to decide if that robber should get a life sentence or just a light punishment. There are people who commit murder because they feel threatened. There are many people nowadays who are chased by people because of their debts. These people might commit murder because if they do not pay and run away, they will be the one who would be dead. Therefore, judge have to be careful to give him the correct punishment. The jury should decide whether it is right or wrong.

             Justice is determining whether it is right or wrong. People have different perspectives toward this topic, and it changes from person to person. Some people have a wider view of justice and some people have narrow view. Justice should be equalized and it should not only bring peace.
