Our society has a basic concept behind it, break a social rule and you will be held accountable. But this rule has a caveat attached, you will be held accountable only so far as is just and right.

Yet we must ask ourselves why then is there the popularity of shows like Law and Order where the police officers conduct behaviours that would see any normal officer arrested and jailed for misconduct, why is this form of entertainment so fulfilling?

Why do we have a little victory dance (figuratively speaking) when someone is convicted of a crime and sentenced to a long term?

Why are there organisations that cry foal when someone accused of a crime has a lessened sentence due to an error on the polices part even thought the rules are clearly stated before any of it began?

Why do we feel that we must change rules that have served well for many years to counter a new (albeit imagined) threat?

Why do we continue to fear and keep from people who have fully served a sentence, keeping some on registers and walking across other side of the street for others?

Does this not scream of a society that loves, feeds on and needs to see Vengeance and not Justice, does it not speak of a society that must, like an addiction, see some harsh punishment dispensed and having a making of reparation not satisfying enough?

If this is the case must we not look to ourselves as the cause of the downward spiral of or society? If we need to see vengeance done are we not creating that which we try to avoid in the first place?

Please explain your answers.

Thanks.

Please note : Any answer that contains the argument “would you like it if” will NOT be considered at all.

As when someone already knows you love her/ him, but still wants you to say it.

As when we see remorse and still ask for an apology.

I'm a pensive and introverted type of person, so I was wondering if a person is more social does it increase their chances of success in life?

I'm trying to be a film director.

Your world, Earth, the Universe, someone you care about... you define it. Tell us what you did that was worth doing and why.
