Justice Is In The Eye of The Beholder

In this time, pop culture is at the highest of highs. With the media affecting anyone with any type of device, people don't question what they are told. There are those of you who may not question what shows up on your screen, whether it be a phone or computer, or that one new tablet you may have gotten for your birthday. Because it's there, it exists, and up til now there was no reason to question it. But this blog is a reason to question everything. And I mean everything. 

The new CNN video for the day.
Question it.
The latest celebrity post.
Question it.
The picture of a cute cat on your desktop.
Question it...

Okay maybe not that, but the whole point is that one thing is for certain, one word.
It starts with J and ends with E.
And no its not Batman, it's Justice. Although they pretty much are the same thing, except one is a Bat and the other is a clothing store.

"Then Justice is the art which gives good to friends and evil to enemies."
          Pg 6, Plato - The Republic

This quote makes it sound like Justice a hundred percent correct at all times. Its not.

Just yesterday, Justice took away my second favorite character after taking away my FIRST favorite character 3 books ago. They didn't deserve it! They were one of the good guys! And sure this may be a book example, but this happens in real life as well. "Justice" is served to those who don't deserve it! Anyone starving out there, or people who are homeless, they may not have deserved any of this! But it happened, so they have to deal with it, even though there is people who in the world who might deserve to go to jail for fraud or something worse.

Justice is in the eye of the beholder, whoever that person may be. And the reason you should question media is that Justice is in the eye of the beholder. And that means in said media, whoever created it decided how justice should be portrayed, whether it be that someone wasn't served justice or if someone shouldn't have had so much of it.

And this is how the media is able to control the populace, most people aren't going to even read this blog. But for those of you who do, you need to learn to make your own decisions, because at the end of the day people who ask questions get answers.

And since this isn't school and there isn't necessarily right or wrong answers, you are always right.
