Ethics In Society

 In my society, justice is found through the tribe itself. As in many cultures in the continent of Africa, when someone has done a wrongdoing, the tribe comes together and surrounds the accused person for 72 hours. The person may not eat or drink and must cleanse themselves of the sin they have committed. Whilst doing so the surrounding tribe members stand and list all of the good things that the accused person has done creating almost a circle of positive energy for the accused person to be enveloped in. The kind and healing energies help the accused person to better understand what they did was wrong and teaches them not to do it again in the future. The tribe believes that this is a more affective method of justice rather than punishing the accused person by, say throwing them into a cell of solitude, because they believe that with enough kindness, it can purge the soul and spirit of the accused and rid them of the evil that made them do the act in the first place.

By this method of justice, the tribe is able to grow and thrive as a whole unit rather than separate entities.
