This has been a piece of the development of society as individuals unite as one for security from outlaws and alternate advantages of human progress. A framework was expected from the powers and every individual to ensure that everything was genuinely taken care of. In the absence of law and justice, we have a circumstance while law implementation is sorted out and very much prepared constrain with the objective of securing every human being similarly under the umbrella of the same law. Such that we can see that there are different kinds of laws and systems that exist around the world; some of them are created according to the culture of the present society, and some societies follow the traditional laws which their religion might implement.
Such is the case of Muslims who follow their Islamic law, which might have a lot of different protocols and law prevailing codes than the common laws that are implemented by states. Even amongst a lot of Muslim states, it is not important that they follow their Islamic law. Considering several examples, like in the Middle East, Muslim countries follow their state law, which in their case might be derived from Islamic law. (Mumisa, Michael)
As for considering the common law of the United States, the penalty of death is viewed in a different way. Considering the opinion of Warden Rob, The burden of capital punishment for the wrongdoing of murder has a long history of acknowledgement both in the States and around Europe. The precedent-based law runs the show forced a compulsory capital punishment on all indicted killers. What’s more, the punishment kept on being utilized by the mid-twentieth century by most American States, despite the fact that the broadness of the precedent-based law control was lessened, at first by narrowing the class of homicides to be rebuffed by death and consequently by across the board selection of laws explicitly allowing juries the attentiveness to suggest kindness.
The vast majority of the state laws in regards to capital punishment took after the lead of the Supreme Court in endeavouring to restrain, however not take out, the attentiveness of a jury by unmistakably posting the sorts of killings which would give rise to the capital indictment. An ordinary illustration is the statutory plan in the Condition of Indiana. There, capital punishment is accessible for murder just if the indictment can demonstrate the presence of no less than one of the ‘exasperating conditions’ forced by the state lawmaking body. On the off chance that the respondent was sentenced to death at trial a second technique takes after to decide the punishment. (Warden, Rob)
Considering situations around the world where common law is practised, it can be observed that there are different ways of finding someone guilty of the death penalty. It depends on the consequences of the situation and how the jury decides. Thus, it is up to the lawmakers and practitioners of law, such as advocates, how well they defend or prosecute the case and seeing all this, the jury of 12 people in the court is to decide whether the person is a convicted felon or not. Even in death penalties, in common law there are different types. It might be the case whether the person should serve some time in a prison cell or must be immediately sentenced to death, depending on the situation.
Be that as it may, arranging the states as homogeneous promoters of law followers does not precisely represent the structure of politics and justice of the country. Inside the limitations of confinement characterized by the Constitution, every State applies its own particular criminal law, and the national government is intrinsically banned from requiring the administrations of the States to apply the law, which may include other punishments and the death penalty in certain cases.
Numerous observers in the States have analyzed the criminal equity framework and have remarked on extreme cases by providing well-equipped legal advisors in genuine cases. There have been various cases archived of legal advisors with overpowering caseloads, legal advisors who were totally caught off guard for trial, and legal advisors who had no or inadequate involvement in taking care of complex matters. In capital cases particularly, the worries have been exceptional, with various cases, at last, being toppled because of the gross inadequacy of protection legal advisors designated to speak to poor respondents. (Warden, Rob)
The prominence of any human being can be judged based on his religion unless we are comparing humans on a material basis. Religion is the only thing in this world that can become any person’s identity, and for that, we should have known in which religion we rely on ourselves and what we believe in it. In order to completely understand which religion is better than the other, we had to go for a deep comparison between the two most basic and prominent religions of the world, which are Islam and Christianity, and the rules which every religion follows, especially in the field of justice. There are many limitations in the Islamic law system as compared to the United States law system. The American judicial establishment is grounded on antimonarchism, traditional tolerance, and federalism. While U.S. law allows you to exercise any religious conviction given that it is non-violent. (Edwards, Tito)
To conclude the discussion, one can say that the current state of Islamic laws and regulations is characterized majorly due to stereotypical assumptions of Radical Muslims. Media has played a huge role in shaping the perspectives of people as they wanted by taking the critical views of a few radicalistic Muslims into accord and spreading them as opinions of Muslims at large. This is entirely unjust on the part of all Muslims and has moulded their image as terrorists and slaves of intolerant religion. However, researchers have established that fixed punishment for all corruption and lawbreaking is the basis of Islamic Shariah. Researchers and writers also infer that Islamic juries are devoid of freedom of choice in their verdicts of perpetrators in the Shar’iah Court System.
The United States is considered to be a region full of inhabitants belonging to different regions, castes and colours. Many of the citizens believe that the country welcomes all types of people without any racial discrimination involved in its dealings. The multiple categories of difference (e.g., race, ethnicity, sexuality, national citizenship, immigration status, class, religion, ability, size) intersect with each other.
However, some people, especially blacks, do not have the same opinion. They believe that they have faced discrimination and biased attitudes because they are people of colour. Most of the African American people are not represented equitably and appropriately in governmental issues. Therefore, empowered and educated blacks are particularly interested in giving back to society in terms of raising their voices for the rights of black people. Therefore, a movement called “Black Lives Matter” was initiated by the black population to ensure that awareness about discrimination is created.
However, soon, some of the people started criticizing the movement. The critics gave rise to a response called “All Lives Matter” to criticize the same movement and to emphasize that the former movement is not needed as America is considered to be a bias-free society.
Another social problem is the denial or lack of availability of justice for black people in some communities, which raises a concern for social change in society and the general mindsets of people. This injustice has particularly been observed in the cases of unjust police shootings of unarmed black men and their unnecessary brutality towards people of colour.
The movement was particularly initiated after the death of Trayvon Martin, who was killed by his neighbour. Later, the neighbour was found not guilty of the charge, and therefore, this movement was started, which escalated with more unjust killings. The primary purpose of this movement is to ensure that black lives are also humanized and to ensure that their lives are not targeted intentionally.
The movement was started as a necessary pro-black liberation movement. Nonetheless, the start of the All Lives Matter Movement has been initiated as a socially acceptable way to show that the former movement is against the White people. The All Lives Movement highlights that the former movement is a way to provide public attention to black lives only and not to all other lives, which is contrary to the actual purpose of the former movement. This viewpoint particularly arose during the presidency of Barack Obama, when Americans started believing that racial discrimination had been eliminated. The All Lives Matter Movement, therefore, criticizes the former movement to be ‘racist’ as it only focuses on the Black people. This instance also does not hold true as the movement calls upon Americans to be more colour-conscious; it does not in any way reflect any racism as it does not demand preference for people of colour.
Conclusion:
Keeping in view both of the viewpoints, I believe that the Black Lives Matter Movement is not only a form of awareness but, in fact, it is crucial to ensure that black people are treated equally. One of the primary purposes of the movement is to transform the criminal justice system of American society, which gives pure autonomy to police officers to kill people mercilessly. It is a rights-based movement meant to ensure that black people are treated equally. The All Lives Matter Movement started by the ignorant population is meant to ensure that no debate is performed about racial discrimination and that injustice stays abundant in society. Nonetheless, the blacks are now educated and empowered, and the goal of their movement will ensure that equal opportunities and equal rights are provided to all people, especially to people of colour.
