Philosophy assigment
Greetings all!
Our discussion board prompt for today assumes that you have read all of the lectures thus far. It’s a simple one, but in a way, its also complex.
Main Post Prompt: You main post is a short one this week. In a couple of sentences, give your definition of one of these important concepts:
· Justice
· Friendship
· Goodness
· Courage
· Good
· Evil
· Fairness
Your definition can include an example that illustrates your definition.
Your Peer Response Post is a longer one this week! For your peer response post, play the part of Socrates (gently!) and craft a question that attempts to undermine, or show the weaknesses, of your peer’s definition in their main post. This post should be about 100-150 words long. This question should be like Socrates question to Cephalus (you can read their exchange here) and describe a scenario in which your peer’s definition would fail to be what it claims (just, good, courageous, etc).
PEER TEXT--
Greetings everyone!
For this week's discussion post, I will be choosing justice. Justice means being fair or just to all races. Take for instance, the recent shooting of Jonathan Price, an African American man, who was shot to death while trying to stop a domestic violence incident. Price was seen in his neighborhood as a great man who was involved in his community. It was even seen that Price, himself supported blue lives but even though he supported blue lives; African Americans still are demanding justice for him. They are seeking that the officer responsible gets what he deserves in all fairness.
