Justice, is a concept whose content several times has been subject to a philosophical as well as legal treatment. There is no universal definition of the term. In its most basic form, "justice" is the systematized administration of punishment and reward. Further to this, one can say that justice excludes randomness. The concept of justice is based on numerous fields, and many differing viewpoints and perspectives including the concepts of moral correctness based on law, equity, ethics, rationality, religion, and fairness. Often, the general discussion of justice is divided into the realm of societal justice as found in philosophy, theology and religion, and procedural justice as found in the study and application of the law.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, often abridged as Last Week Tonight, is an American late-night talk and news satire television program airing on Sundays on HBO in the United States and HBO Canada, and on Mondays (originally Tuesdays) on Sky Atlantic in the United Kingdom. The half-hour long show premiered on Sunday, April 27, 2014, and is hosted by comedian John Oliver. Last Week Tonight shares some similarities with Comedy Central's The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, where Oliver was previously featured as a correspondent and fill-in host, as it takes a satirical look at news, politics and current events on a weekly basis.
Oliver has said that he has full creative freedom, including free rein to criticize corporations. His initial contract with HBO was for two years with an option for extension. In February 2015, it was announced that the show has been renewed for two additional seasons of 35 episodes each. Oliver and HBO programming president Michael Lombardo have discussed extending the show from half an hour to a full hour and airing more than once a week after Oliver "gets his feet under him".

Amanda Marie Knox (born July 9, 1987) is an American woman who spent almost four years in an Italian prison following the 2007 murder of Meredith Kercher, one of the women who shared her apartment, before being definitively acquitted by the Supreme Court of Cassation. Knox, then a twenty years old student, had raised the alarm after returning from spending the night with her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito. Following an interrogation, the conduct of which is a matter of dispute, Knox implicated herself and an employer. Knox and Sollecito were initially accused of murdering Kercher while acting with the employer, but he was released and substituted for Rudy Guede after Guede's bloodstained fingerprints were found on Kercher's possessions.
Pre-trial publicity in Italian media portrayed Knox in a negative light, leading to complaints that the prosecution was using character assassination tactics. A guilty verdict at Knox's initial trial and her 26-year sentence caused international controversy, as U.S. forensic experts thought evidence at the crime scene was incompatible with her involvement. A prolonged legal process, including a successful prosecution appeal against her acquittal at a second-level trial, continued after Knox was freed in 2011. On March 27, 2015, Italy's highest court—the Supreme Court of Cassation—definitively exonerated Knox and Sollecito. Knox's conviction for Calunnia against her employer was upheld by all courts. On January 14, 2016 Knox was acquitted of Calunnia for saying she had been struck by policewomen during the interrogation.
"The Cleveland Division of Police engages in a pattern of excessive use of force, is badly trained in the use of firearms and is a danger to the people it serves, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder declared Thursday, bringing to a close a 20-month investigation prompted by the shooting deaths of two black residents. The findings come a month after a Cleveland policeman shot dead a 12-year-old black boy playing with a toy gun and at a time of national outrage over police tactics after a spate of shootings of unarmed black civilians by police officers across the nation. “Since March of 2013, the Justice Department has closely examined nearly 600 use of force incidents,” Holder said. "The Department of Justice and the City of Cleveland have come together to set in motion a process that will r...

4. Beyond Punishment and Forgiveness We have locked God up in a rigid pattern of guilt and forgiveness - "We are guilty but God forgives us." This is a perversion of what God is really like. Jesus destroyed this pattern in the gospel. The gospel proclaims much more than guilt and forgiveness linked to guilt. He says, healthy people have no need of a physician but sick. The Pharisees and the scribes are talking about guilt, forgiveness, purity, impurity, what can be done and what cannot to be done. Somehow Jesus breaks out of that pattern of thinking and speaks in another key. He speaks of sickness and health, about sick people becoming healthy. All this means that he is leading us beyond our obsession with sin and guilt and forgiveness... He has a different view of things.
Introduction to the Old Testament (Hebrew Bible) (RLST 145) with Christine Hayes This lecture begins with the Book of Lamentations, a short book of dirges that laments the destruction of Jerusalem and moves on to introduce the third and final section of the Hebrew Bible - the Ketuvim, or "Writings." This section of the Bible contains three books that exemplify the ancient Near Eastern literary genre of "Wisdom" -- Proverbs, Job and Ecclesiastes. Proverbs reinforces the Deuteronomistic idea of divine retributive justice according to which the good prosper and the evil are punished. The conventional assumption of a moral world order is attacked in the Book of Job. The book explores whether people will sustain virtue when suffering and afflicted, and brings charges of negligence and mismana...

The underlying philosophical question is of whether the so-called real world is actually an illusion, a dream from which we will wake some day. And if this is indeed some kind of test where our true...
