    In “The Case for Reparations”, Ta-Nehisi Coates sets forth a powerful argument that the United States must find a way to atone for past injustices against black Americans. Rather than asking for money or anything of the sort, Coates basically argues that it’s the idea of reparations that counts. He believes that such is necessary for Americans to come to terms with the injustices that occurred, partially due to the belief in white supremacy, and to go through a spiritual renewal of some sort. Through various techniques, Coates supports the claim that paying reparations is both paying a moral debt and acknowledging past injustices.…

    Where the argument fails is that it only establishes why intimidating the USSR was Truman’s objective, but does not discredit all the other reasons the leaders of the time claim they had for using the nuclear bomb, and it is completely logical and feasible that the dropping of the bomb had several motivators. Pavlik’s argument that surrender was imminent is backed up by three main points, the first of which is that the Japanese had already attempted to negotiate peace with Roosevelt on terms ‘virtually identical’ to the ones which were accepted by the U.S. This is important evidence to refute the argument of pro-bombers that the bombing was necessary in order to bring the war to a close in terms which were favorable to the Allies. If the United States was willing to accept in August the same terms the Japanese had offered in January, there must be some other reason than the expedition of the conflict for the dropping of the bomb. While Pavlik does not delve into the answer to this question, he mentions that Russian expansionist interests in the region and the fact that Stalin was consulted when it came to this decision are the reasons why the initial peace offer was…

    Interaction My initial response to the concept of forgiveness therapy for abuse survivors was that it seemed counter-intuitive, as it can be perceived to excuse the abusive behavior and invalidate the suffering of the victim. However, this impression fails to acknowledge the therapeutic definition of forgiveness as used in therapy, a release of resentment (Reed & Enright, 2006). Upon review of this definition of forgiveness therapy, I concluded that it was in line with other therapeutic ideals that encourage release of negative thought patterns and encourage the construction of positive thought patterns and behaviors.…

    The activity on negotiation was remarkable. Our team was tasked on being Tenet Healthcare, Easton Hospital’s possible capital partner.

During the commencement of the meeting, the other party, being the Easton Hospital set off the atmosphere for negotiation. Their legal representative,…

    As the name of the title aptly suggests, Ta-Nehisi Coates, in his article, “The Case for Reparations”, builds a case for the racial minority, that is black folk, to seek amends for the years of injustice and servitude rendered by them to the majority, here in America. Through the medium of Clyde Ross, a veteran but now ordinary citizen, representative of the plight of any other black person living in that era, Coates attempts to provide an argument for the ills and hardships that the Blacks were faced with throughout the previous few centuries, under the regime of white supremacy, in the land of opportunity. In his article, Coates emphasizes not only on the explicit forms and visible aspects of racism and discrimination prevalent, such as…

    Can Justice and Forgiveness go Hand in Hand? Justice and forgiveness can go hand in hand. Forgiveness can mean many things, but true forgiveness is releasing the feelings of vengeance and resentment towards a person. Justice can also have multiple meanings, but true justice means when an offender repents on their wrongdoings and reconciles with their victims. When an immoral person receives retributive justice, it causes them to reflect on their wrongdoings, letting them become a better person when they are forgiven.…

    The approach to restorative justice is rich with historical and cultural context which predates Native times and differs vastly from the current justice system. In fact, comparing the two is much like comparing apples and bananas; both are fruit however they have differing texture, taste, color, and shape. The current justice system in a multitude of Western societies is primarily focused on identifying and persecuting offenders with little to no regard as to the needs of the victim, the offender, or the community. It is a system in which the state, or the federal government, represents the people yet the people are unable to make contributions to the justice process and consequently the personal dimension of crime is eliminated. Offenders…

    In a negotiation research study by Professor William W. Maddux of INSEAD, researchers compared reactions to apologies in the United States and in Japan. They discovered that in “collectivist cultures” such as China and Japan, an apology can be an effective negotiation tactic to relieve conflict and resolve disputes even if the apology is delivered by someone who is not responsible for the wrong. Their findings showed that negotiators with carefully delivered apologies could resolve conflicts and alleviate its effects in a way that financial compensation cannot.…
