Discussion Board 2: Greek Tragedy

After reading the scene from Sophocles’ Antigone and the material on Aristotle’s The poetics, answer the following questions:

1. What are the three main criteria for what Aristotle says makes a “tragic figure,” or “tragic hero” in drama?

Both Creon and Antigone are both victims of great tragedy. Who is the “tragic figure” in this play: Antigone or Creon? If you do a quick google search, many sources will tell you that Creon is the tragic hero. But is there a case for Antigone?

2. What examples from the play prove that Antigone also arguably meets the criteria of a tragic Hero?

discussion describing organizational behavior

Given that an organization is reliant on employees to achieve its mission and objectives, there would appear to be value in organizational transparency. If employees perceive that leaders and managers are being transparent, their attitude toward work and overall efficiency will be better, even if they do not agree with the leaders and managers’ decisions. However, if employees perceive or discover that organizational leaders and managers have not been transparent, their efforts may reflect a less caring attitude. In such cases, there may not be any difference between employee perception and fact.

Consider the aforementioned aspects, and using the University online library resources, research the importance of employee attitudes and perception.

Then, respond to the following:

  • How important are employee attitudes and emotions as well as transparency in shaping organizational behavior?
  • Elaborate on how employee perceptions shape organizational behavior. Are perceptions and reality always the same?

By the due date assigned, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through the end of the module, review and comment on at least two peers’ responses.

Write your initial response in 300–500 words. Your response should be thorough and address all components of the discussion question in detail, include citations of all sources, where needed, according to the APA Style, and demonstrate accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation

discussion 930

answer the discussion question with a minimum of 150 words. Please use apa format for works cited. Then respond to student a and b response to the question with a minimum of 50 words.

question: at purpose does plea bargaining serve for the defense? For the prosecution? Given the criticism leveled against plea bargaining, do you believe that it is an acceptable practice?

STUDENT A: Plea Bargaining is useful to both the defendant and the prosecution. Firstly, according to Frank Schmalleger’s Criminal Justice Today, An Introductory Text for the 21st Century (pg. 322) a plea bargaining is “the process of negotiating an agreement among the defendant, the prosecutor, and the court as to an appropriate sentence. . . reduces the time required for the resolution of a criminal case.” This practice allows the necessary time that it typically takes for a court case to conclude and reduces it significantly. Allowing another case to be heard and does not waste both the jury’s and the judge’s time with a case that can be easily concluded. Since, the majority of those convicted of a crime that receives a plea bargain either has, poor evidence or there is a lot of evidence stacked against them. Not to mention this allows those who are convicted to have a shorter sentence. Regardless of the criticism of plea bargaining, I still think that the practice should be still used since it saves time for everyone in the courtroom. What do you think?

STUDENT B: A plea bargaining is an arrangement between a prosecutor and defense in which the suspect pleads guilty to a lesser sentence. The plea bargain is a quicker process for the courts and allow both the prosecutor and defense from going to trial. The purpose of a plea bargain for the defense is so that they could receive a lighter sentence instead of going to trial and getting the maximum sentence. It sometimes reduces the charges, so that instead of them getting charged with rape they will get charged with assault instead. Like I stated earlier it is a quicker process so the defendant doesn’t have to keep waiting and they can go one with their lives. For Prosecutors plea bargaining saves them the time and money that they will need in order to prepare for trial. I think plea bargaining is a great system for those who are guilty and want to save time and also get a lighter sentence. A trial cost money so a plea bargain helps saves a lot of money for the prosecutor, defender, and the courts. Yes it can be bad for someone who is not guilty and might take it so that they don’t have to waste their money and take their chances going to court. If the defendant is really guilty i think this would be their best chance of getting a lighter sentence.

discussion 969

Utopia

No unread replies. No replies.

More published Utopia in 1516 in the midst of political, social, and religious upheaval in England and Europe.

In England, King Henry VIII was a powerful, even tyrannical leader who was amassing great debts and greater control over life in the realm. More was a councillor to Henry VIII and, from 1529 to 1532, Lord High Chancellor, a powerful position in the British Cabinet today in charge of the independence of the judiciary. In More’s day, it meant he was essentially the highest judge in the realm, a position he used to thwart Henry’s efforts to obtain a divorce, and head of the Royal Court, called the ‘curia regis,’ that would eventually evolve into the House of Lords in Parliament.

A year after More published Utopia, the Protestant Reformation began in earnest with Luther’s publication of the Ninety-Five Treatises, followed by Henry’s creation of the Church of England, with himself as the Head of the Church, beginning in 1529 and completed in 1537. More resisted Henry’s efforts, and in 1533, More refused to attend the coronation of Anne Boleyn, Henry’s second wife, as Queen of England, and More refused to take the Oath of Supremacy of the Crown, seeing the Pope as the final authority on topics like divorce. More was arrested, charged with treason, and beheaded in 1535.

Reading Questions for Utopia:

1. Utopia is a layered pun–as our editors note, in Greek, the word ‘ou-topos‘ translates as ‘no place,’ but ‘eu-topos,’ which sounds the same, means ‘good place,’ (A side note, the NBC tv show ‘The Good Place’ is FULL of puns, philosophical discussions, and very much in the vein of More’s work–it’s a great show, highly recommended), and More’s critique of contemporary English and European society comes from the great differences between the no/good island he imagines here. So, let’s start with the idea of a good place that may not exist–is More’s island a place you’d like to visit? Why or why not? What details stand out either way?

2. As well as the pun on no/good place, More puns with the name of the man who tells of Utopia, Raphael Hythloday, whose name ironically connects the archangel Raphael, who is the angel of healing in Judaism, Catholicism, and Islam, with nonsense, as his last name translates from Greek as “dispenser of nonsense.” What then do we do with Hythloday’s ‘testimony?’ Is it meant to ‘heal’ England and Europe? Or just nonsense because he tells us of Utopia’s ways which include communism and no private property rights, e.g.?

3. The island’s features, which we see on our pages 395-96, tells us that there are 54 cities on the island, that they have a great council at Amaurot, and that everyone from each city must give up two years of their lives to common labor–though Utopia does have slaves, as seen on p. 396. How can a ‘good place’ have slavery, we might well ask? England of course had slaves both at home and in their colonies. The Utopians also have no money, but simply share among the cities the excesses of their harvests as needed–does this sound good to you? Many critiques of socialism and communism begin with the premise that only the promise of wealth (or threat of punishment) can induce people to do the hard labor of farm work or other difficult labor–do you buy that argument as contrasted here?

4. What about the conducting of war? The Utopians, Hythloday tells More, rarely go to war, but when they do, they generally use foreign mercenaries–what do you think that More might be getting at, especially given that the European states of his day were constantly at war with each other on land and sea? They also pay these mercenaries in gold and silver, which they have little use for–what does that suggest to us about More’s view of such in his society?

5. Finally, the last section in our excerpt concerns religion, perhaps the most contentious issue of More’s day in England and Europe. What does it mean to you that Utopians worship a Supreme Being, but were not particularly disposed to hear about Christ or the Catholic Church, and were able to worship as they please, but not able to use any force but persuasion and reason to create fellowships?

Are there any other points you want to raise? Please do so in the comments.
