    This kind of thinking is what connects the reader to what Steve is trying to say, and it makes you almost want to believe what he is saying because of the amount of empathy that you have for him. This is huge for the mood and overall feel of the book. Lastly, Inner thinking is also shown when Steve reflects on his experiences in jail thus far,” Everybody in here either talks about sex or hurting somebody or what they’re in here for. That’s all they think about and that’s what’s on my mind, too. What did I do?...

  • Crime Statute Application: The Case Of Adultery In The State Of Arizona

    1202 Words  | 5 Pages

    Crime Statute Application I selected the crime of Adultery, in the state of Arizona. It is illegal under Section 13-1408 of the Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S. section 13-1408). I chose this particular statute because I have always viewed adultery as morally wrong, but I never considered it to be criminal conduct. In this application, I examine the elements of crime and the issues that arise when discussing mens rea and actus reus, and how evidence for such conduct would be hard to obtain. I also consider whether the crime should be more of a civil liability concern, rather than criminal conduct, and how there may be issues with making the punishment more severe.

    Doublethink is an effective tool for resolving conflicting facts or ideas and controlling thought so citizens think exactly the thoughts the government wants them to think. Another technique that the government uses to control thought is to restrict the vocabulary of the citizens by creating a new language known as Newspeak. Syme, an author of the Newspeak dictionary says, "Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make Thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it"

    37). Beccaria provided three characteristics that influence a person’s likelihood of committing a crime: swiftness, certainty, and severity. These were the qualities that a potential offender would deliberate on before carrying out their transgression. He believed that a punishment should come as soon as possible after the crime, should have a strong impression on potential offenders, and should be worse than the benefits from the crime (Tibbetts, p. 38). As long as a punishment had all three characteristics, a rational person should be deterred from that behavior.

    Firstly, the possibility of the idea originating from nothing is ruled out for obvious reasons, as Nolan and Nelson highlight how ‘nothing’ does not posses the ability to cause, as it does not contain any properties and the effect cannot have more reality than the cause (Nolan and Nelson, 2006:108). Furthermore, as humankind are imperfect beings, Nolan and Nelson state that as we are finite beings we cannot conjure the idea of a more perfect and infinite being ourselves (Nolan and Nelson, 1996:110). Therefore, Descartes argues that this leaves only the possibility that an infinite being could cause the idea of an infinite being to exist innately within the mind of the finite cogito, like ‘the mark of a craftsmen stamped on his work’ (Descartes, 1996:35). Moreover, Descartes further believes that it would be impossible to exist with the idea of God, if God did not exist, and that this God could not be one that

    think before you act too me is isn't to keep thing without acting but to stop and think about the consequences of your decision and then decide to follow through with any adjustments, i feel it is so important because it eliminates the irreversible mistakes and without it i personally, would be in a lot of trouble with only my bad choices to blame. in todays society it isn't seem as much as it should be but there’s no argue that everyone think’s before they act from time to time although with more of it they would be less fighting, less troubles and a lot less mistakes. an example of thinking before you act would be robbing a bank, it seems good at first but the consequences afterward outway the immediate positives by a long way, similar to drugs it would be a very regrettable decision. all up think before you act is used, since it is a common sense but still not enough, todays society is covered with things that would make your mistake regrettable so it stops the chaos there would be without it. deborah shows how think before you act should not be overlooked.

  • Space In Crime And Punishment

    951 Words  | 4 Pages

    An author's descriptions of space can illuminate more about a story than just the setting and tone. In Crime and Punishment (1866), Fyodor Dostoevsky fills St. Petersburg with richly described buildings, streets, weather, and people which lend to the dark, melancholy tone of the novel and help the reader visualize the setting. As Figes writes, “Petersburg defied the natural order,” its artificiality morphing the Russian people toward a more European way of life. However, “even the Nevsky, the most European of [Tsar Peter’s] avenues, was undone by a ‘Russian’ crookedness,” an organic dent in the armor of the purposefully streamlined, inorganic design of the city.

    However, thoughts are always to the Party’s advantage because of a brainwashing tactic called doublethink. Doublethink is the act of holding two contradicting beliefs and simultaneously believing and not believing both, depending on what is convenient for the Party. In a book Julia and Winston read on how the Party operates, doublethink is explained like this: “Doublethink lies at the very heart of Ingsoc, since the essential act of the Party is to use conscious deception while retaining the firmness of purpose that goes with complete honesty” (Orwell 214). Aiming to control thoughts, the Party has come up with a method in which they are always correct, no matter what the topic is. However, this will soon become superfluous.
