Hobbes, Aquinas And Plato: The Role Of Morality In Establishing An Obligation To Obey Law
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Ever since the time when mankind required the inclusion of law as a means by which to settle disputes and create a more agreeable community, the issue of legal infiltration has been the subject of myriad dissatisfied individuals who believe that the implementation of law has been significantly more detrimental than beneficial. Others, however, contend that without the presence of law, human morality would not stand on its own as a deterrent to crime and otherwise unwanted social behavior. Thomas Hobbes, St. Thomas Aquinas and Plato postulated the issues surrounding the role of morality in establishing an obligation to obey law; from these three men, one can readily surmise that law most certainly has a place within society's civil framework.

Impact That Race, Gender And Class Have Upon The Development Of Theoretical Criminology
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. The concept of a rational society – in which the entire community is greatly influenced by principles its members completely and accept without challenge – has indeed proven to be one of the most powerful standards of contemporary culture, with the criminal justice system fighting to maintain its place. Why it is necessary for the element of ethics to exist in theoretical criminology? And what of rationality – is that not merely a reflection of one's own self-interest? Indeed, this notion leads one to presume that the criminal justice system is gravely lacking the ability to monitor itself in relation to race, gender and class as they correlate with establishing and then maintaining standards of conduct conducive to a civilized society. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
