My first essay topic for this term is the relationship between ethnicity and justice. The topic seems too vague, so to make it more simple, I would like to do my research on how each country's religious belief affects their way of thinking justice. The reason that I chose this particular topic is because of our summer reading P&D which we had almost a week ago. There was this one person in my group who had a discussion question which had to do with justice. We hear the word "justice" many times in our life for instance the well-known Professor Michael J. Sandel has written a book called "JUSTICE: Whats the right thing to do?". But have we took our time to think for ourselves whats the true meaning of the word "justice"? To tell the truth, I haven't. I had all these 19 years of my life, and had never thought of it. So I thought, since I had never took my time to think deeply about justice, why not use this precious time to think and tie it up with one of our semester topic, which would be ethnicity.
My thesis statement for this essay is "Each country thinks their own belief (=justice) is the right thing, and the others are wrong, but actually, there is no wrong justice in our world, and every other belief (=justice) is as faithful as the others".
