742 Words3 Pages

I decided to answer the first essay because of my passion for the topic. I believed I could answer the question very well and explore and engage with the concepts from cycle 1-4.
The final workshop of term one consolidated my belief in my ability to write the essay I chose. I was asking strong questions and was able to engage with the material well, drawing on past cycles to supplement the content of my questions. I was not confident enough to answer the second question because of my weaker understanding of the substance the question addressed.

  • Essay On Unjust Law

    1666 Words  | 7 Pages

Naturally, laws will always be somewhat unjust because it is impossible to consistently construct laws that directly and equally benefit all members of a society. There will always be a majority that makes the laws and a minority that has to obey the laws. Although laws are usually the standard of morality by which we live by, they must be disobeyed in certain situations. These situations are, but not limited to, an undemocratic formation of aforementioned laws, laws that are inherently unjust according to human law which can be synonymous with God’s law.
