Classmate Blog Evaluations

I agree completely with Sara, that every country-society needs laws and rules in order to work smoothly. Our Constitution, Bill of Rights, and complex set of laws are the back bone of our judicial system. Throughout Sara’s blog she really expresses her opinion clearly and isn’t afraid to share what is on her mind. Sara and I both believe that educating people about our judicial system is important. She also brings up the subject of media bias and its influence over how people think and view our justice system.

There are some contradictory statements made in Sara’s conclusion. At first she states that the justice system is pretty fair to every American and that the law “Is overall just and is meant to serve the people”. She then goes on to say that lots of injustice is served to innocent people. I like Sara would also like to believe that when innocent people meet injustice, it is the exception and not the rule.

I found Kevin’s post very interesting. He made a lot of good points and it is clear to me that he researched information before writing his blog. It is apparent that he has a strong opinion about the media and news reporters. Kevin is very concerned about a person unknowingly breaking the law or hurting someone else. He makes a distinction between the consequences of certain behaviors as a child and the consequences of that same behavior as an adult. Kevin and I both believe that our justice system does try to protect the rights of people living here in America.

Kevin also discusses the role our justice system plays in protecting businesses from white-collar crime. There rules in place which protects employees and consumers in the work place. I work in a small retail store and we follow certain rules and regulations to make sure that everyone’s rights are protected.
