Title: The Jury System: Do you agree the jury system or not?
I would talk about the jury system. Jury system is truly government in the hands
of the people. Ordinary men and women
come together to settle disputes between their fellow citizens, or to resolve
criminal charges, by hearing evidence, deliberating together, and taking
responsibility for the administration of justice by rendering a verdict. I disagree this system because of the 3
reasons.
First, juries sometimes judge by
race. It is not nice at all. At first, we should stop discrimination. I meant we should let the regular juries the
people who are not racists judge the trial.
If the juries were racists, it is out of the question. The people who are racists should not sit the
juries’ seats because discrimination is not good. I would say, "you are the
criminal." Some of racists say,
"there is no help for it." I
know that we are different races and we are actually different. A good way for "different" is
awesome. For example, I have curly hair
and I like this fashion. However, there
is a bad way for "different."
For example, some of people see the African American people and Asian
people are very different than Caucasian people.
Thery are actually different.
Therefore, there is no help for it.
It is right. However, if it is
going to be "discrimination," the story is going to change to a bad
way. Especially, it is not very good in
the trial because the defendants' lives after the trial depends on the judgment. It cannot be any jokes.
Second, the ordinary people do not have
knowledge about the judiciary at all.
The ordinary people usually had not been studied about the
judiciary. I wonder why the ordinary people
can judge the defendants. Then, they
could judge by likes and dislikes. The
juries should be people who have the knowledge about the judiciary. Otherwise, the judge would not be
accurate. I know it is difficult
stuff. However, I think the juries
should be professional juries. The
things are usually going to be good if the people who are professional at it do
the things. Think it simple is better
than think it complex. Make it
easy. Then, the problem usually can be
solved. The idea of improvement for it
is if the ordinary people start studying about the judiciary until the day of
the trial, they might can judge the defendants someday. However, I basically disagree this system
though.
Third, if the defendant is innocent but
the ordinary people judges the person is guilty, the defendant do not allow
it. I meant the defendant does not want
ordinary people to judge the defendant’s life after the trial. It means the ordinary people have less
responsibilities than the professional juries.
If the defendant requested the judgment was not true. The defendant request was quite
reasonable. The people who have
responsibilities should judge the trial.
The people who have responsibilities in here means the people who have
knowledge about the judiciary. If they
do not have knowledge, they should not judge the people. They are same as amateurs. It is also cruel the people who are chosen to
be the juries. They usually do not want
to judge the people because these are not their jobs and they do not have
responsibilities.
Finally, I disagree to this system. First, there is still racial problem. However, we should not discriminate the
people each other. We have to stop it. Then, the jury system will be needless. Second, the ordinary people do not have
knowledge about the judiciary. Third, the
ordinary people have less responsibilities than the professional juries. Therefore, they should not judge the
defendants’ lives after the trial. Why I
chose this topic was when I was in high school in New York, I read the book
which is called, "To Kill a Mockingbird" written by Harper Lee. I will introduce several of my favorite lines
from this book. "You never really
understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... Until
you climb into his skin and walk around in it." "There's a lot of ugly things in this world,
son. I wish I could keep'em all away from you. That's never
possible." "Courage is not a
man with a gun in his hand. It is knowing you are licked before you begin but
you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but
sometimes you do." "When a
child asks you something, answer him, for goodness sake. But do not make a
production of it. Children are children, but they can spot an evasion faster
than adults, and evasion simply muddles'em." These are all spoken by Atticus Finch in this
book. I love Atticus because he always answered the questions honestly and
exactly. I am really influenced by this
book. I also watched the movie. The content was almost same. I was influenced by these about racial
problem. The main story was actually
connecting to racial problem on the trial.
Therefore, I chose this topic.
