Order Equality

<p><em>This paper is based on a two decade observation on the dilemma of order and justice, leading to an attempt to analyze the social-economic factors underlying the historical roots of injustice. On its course it attempted to take lessons from historically proven axioms provided by certain heavy weight thinkers. While trying to make the best out of those axioms, the analysis could not ignore the hard facts of the daily life of the billions of people suffering from unending injustice in most parts of the world, in the rich and let alone in the poor parts of it. Neither could it escape from criticizing the ubiquitous mess in the justice system, almost universally. Although the overall problem of injustice does not seem to provide much hope for a better life of the people at large, the conclusion of this paper tried to distant away from a pessimistic stance and instead proposed an agenda for those who may concern to be carried out. This paper contains forethoughts of a book in the making regarding basically the same problem.  </em></p><p><em> </em></p><p align="right"><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em>:</em></p><em>history, authority, rationality, law, order, equality, justice</em>

Jury System

A commentator noted in 1881 that Irishmen regarded jury service as “the greatest burden that can be inflicted upon them … they would be delighted if trial by jury was suspended tomorrow.” He later added, “[o]f course an enormous outcry would be raised about it in the national press, and in public meetings; but jurors … would give anything in the world not to serve … because it is the terror of their lives.” Much has been written about the poor state of the nineteenth-century Irish jury system, and it is certainly true that for various social, economic and political reasons, in comparison with that in England, the Irish system appears to have operated in a way that fell somewhat short of ideal. This article seeks to provide an understanding of the realities facing the jurors themselves, and will examine their experiences of the justice system before, during, and after the trial.

Performative Morality: Godey's Match Plates, Nineteenth-Century Stage Practice, and Social/Political/Economic Commentary in America's Popular Ladies’ Magazine

Recirculating the assertion of magazine historian Frank Luther Mott, subsequent generations of scholars maintained that Godey's Lady's Magazine eschewed content treating the social, political, and economic issues of the day. This article challenges that nearly universal reading of Godey's by arguing for the importance of a close reading of the “match plates” commissioned by Godey for his magazine. Appearing between 1840 and 1860, these plates, many engraved from pendant paintings created expressly for Godey, draw on the popularity of stage melodrama, dramatic tableau, and tableaux vivants to enact a performative morality addressing major social, economic, and political issues. Early match plates contrast virtue and vice, capitalizing on the enormous popularity of William Hogarth's engraving series Industry and Idleness. Match plates appear also in the popular fashion plates of the magazine – echoing the city mystery novels, plays, and prints first popularized by Eugene Sue – in Christmas for the Rich/Christmas for the Poor and Dress the Maker/Dress the Wearer. By 1860, even the magazine's “useful” contents, such as the pattern work prized by Godey's readers, echo the popularity of match plates: hence Fruit for Working/Flowers for Working. Closer attention to Godey's engravings calls for a reassessment of Mott's assertion.

This condition causes occupy participant increases rapidly, but without strategic, plan and ideology.

One of the significant areas is Singkawang city. Singkawang is a historic place for Tionghoa ethnic, because there is where they grow and have their own civilization, complete with their sub-culture brought from China. During the reign of President Soeharto, their existence is very marginalized. They have a variety of cultures that only after the new Reformation is open to public.

Taxes cannot be denied in order to prevent financial crises and economic crises. In times of crisis, it is sometimes possible to intervene in these periods by decreasing the existing tax rates and sometimes by applying new taxes. The Robin Hood tax is based on the idea of giving it to the poor. According to this idea, the financial sector will be taxed in times of crisis and the tax burden that countries have to bear will be reduced. Moreover, the important point here is related to the usage area of the income derived from taxation of the financial sector. These taxes will be transferred directly to the public (i.e., to the people who suffer from the crisis). Thus, the idea of transferring from the rich to the poor will take place. In this chapter, the applicability of Robin Hood tax will be determined by considering the main features of the tax, and the tax will be examined before the social state principle. In this direction, the superior aspects of the said tax will be determined, and some suggestions will be made.

Abstract. The Beatitude is often misunderstood as a beautiful words yet  irrelevant and impossible to practice in daily life. However, in the context of the  rest of the Sermon on the Mount and Discourses of the entire book of Matthew, the Beatitude is important because the beatitude is the fundamentally values of the citizens of the Kingdom of God. The happiness as the citizen of God’s Kingdom is very began in their inner life because they are be connected to God, so the happiness is only possible if the people have a fellowship with God who extending and flowing His happiness to them. When the people of the Kingdom of God be connected to the world and living in the daily life their function as salt and light to be realized in practical ethics that relating to all aspects of the social and religious community where they are. The condition of 'happiness' is not related to ownership of something material but happiness or be blessed is identical to their identity as citizens of the Kingdom of God. Happiness that begins when someone responds to the calling of repentance and begins life as a citizen of the Kingdom in fellowship with God. Happiness is also not determined by the promise that following. The following promise is a result of their attitude heart as the blessed one. Regarding to the promise, it must be understood as an eschatological expectations; in eschatology "already but no yet", it has begun but its fulfillment is towards to the future and keep them living to be blessed one.Abstrak. Ucapan bahagia itu sering disalahpahami sebagai kata-kata indah namun tidak relevan dan mustahil untuk dipraktikkan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Namun, dalam konteks sisa Khotbah di Bukit dan Khotbah dari seluruh kitab Matius, Ucapan Bahagia penting karena ucapan bahagia adalah nilai-nilai fundamental dari warga negara Kerajaan Allah. Kebahagiaan sebagai warga Kerajaan Allah sangat dimulai dalam kehidupan batin mereka karena mereka terhubung dengan Tuhan, sehingga kebahagiaan hanya mungkin terjadi jika orang-orang memiliki persekutuan dengan Tuhan yang memperluas dan mengalirkan kebahagiaan-Nya kepada mereka. Ketika orang-orang Kerajaan Allah terhubung ke dunia dan hidup dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, fungsi mereka sebagai garam dan cahaya untuk diwujudkan dalam etika praktis yang berkaitan dengan semua aspek komunitas sosial dan keagamaan di mana mereka berada. Kondisi 'kebahagiaan' tidak terkait dengan kepemilikan sesuatu yang material tetapi kebahagiaan atau diberkati identik dengan identitas mereka sebagai warga Kerajaan Allah. Kebahagiaan yang dimulai ketika seseorang menanggapi panggilan pertobatan dan memulai hidup sebagai warga negara Kerajaan dalam persekutuan dengan Allah. Kebahagiaan juga tidak ditentukan oleh janji yang mengikutinya. Janji berikut ini adalah hasil dari sikap hati mereka sebagai yang diberkati. Mengenai janji itu, harus dipahami sebagai harapan eskatologis; dalam eskatologi "sudah tetapi belum", itu telah dimulai tetapi pemenuhannya menuju masa depan dan membuat mereka hidup untuk diberkati.

A atividade profética não terminou com o exílio babilônico, em 587 a.C. Cremos que ela continuou por meio de novas vozes, pessoas, grupos. Adquiriu novos contornos em novos ambientes. Eis a temática central deste artigo ao apresentar uma reflexão sobre o capítulo 13 do livro de Sirácida ou Eclesiástico, na ótica do comportamento entre o pobre e o rico. Em nossa hermenêutica, apostamos que temos nessas páginas bíblicas uma profecia. Uma profecia de cunho sapiencial que se espalhou em outras narrativas, na época pós-exílica (Sb, Sl, Jó, Ct e Pr). Ela adquire novos contornos entre acrósticos, poemas, provérbios e sentenças. Buscamos contextualizar a época do surgimento do livro de Sirácida, para em seguida, analisar métricas, antíteses e propostas sociais da narrativa. Diante do risco em que o mundo, o planeta se encontra, recompor o tecido social só terá validade se consideramos os grupos desfavorecidos. THE ASTUCTION OF THE POOR IN CONFLICT WITH THE RICH: THE TEACHING OF SIRACID 13 The prophetical activity did not end with the babilonical exile, in 587 b.C. We believe that it continued through new voices, people, groups. It acquired new outlines in new environments. That is the focal point of this article in presenting a reflection on the chapter 13 of the book of Sirach or Book of Ecclesiasticus, from the optics of the behaviour dynamics between the poor and the rich. In our hermeneutics we consider that we have, in these biblical pages, a prophecy. A prophecy of wise nature that was spread in other narratives, in the post-exile era (Ws, Psalm, Job, Song, and Prov). It acquires new outlines among acrostics, poems, proverbs and sentences. First, we aim to contextualize the time of the appearance of the book of Sirach, and then, to analyze metrics, antitheses and social propositions of the narrative. Considering the peril that the world finds itself in, it will only be valid to recompose the social tissue if we consider the disadvantaged groups.

Economic Injustice

Economic injustice is a major cause of social troubles in most of the countries of the world and Pakistan is no exception. The rich in Pakistan are becoming richer and the poor are becoming poorer. We need to look for a solution. Fortunately, our Islamic teachings are best suited to provide a solution through the study of teachings of the Prophet (SAW), his companions and the religious jurists. Economic injustice has increased poverty and the health of the nation especially of poor classes is deteriorating. The social values are becoming weak and even crimes like theft, fraud and looting are becoming common because of unemployment. The income of people is decreasing due to covid'19 and people are forced to become selfish. There is a great need to bring economic justice in Pakistan through the study of Seerah e Nabvi (SAW). Our Prophet (SAW) was able to build an equitable economic system under his own leadership. In his days people were benevolent and they rejected oppression and aggression. We should be able to know the methods which he adopted to bring reforms in the economic field in the state of Madinah. This study includes an introduction, its importance, the research plan and methods, the concept of economic justice and cultivating economic values in the Muslim society.

Striking Contrast

The article deals with the representation of the concept of money in the feature film Elena by Andrey Zvyagintsev. Money is first of all a plot-forming element because this is the reason behind the conflict between the main characters, which is shown in the film. At the visual level, the concept is represented explicitly by constant demonstration of money, and implicitly, with the help of objects reflecting the level of people’s welfare. There is a striking contrast between the ‘world of the rich’, whose main representative is Vladimir, and the ‘world of the poor’ where Elena’s son’s family live. The protagonist unites these two worlds. We also found out several attributes of this concept at the verbal level, in the discourse of the characters. Some of these attributes are connected with the functioning of money, its use in the daily life, and legal financial aspects. Vladimir’s discourse contains verbal markers reflecting his idea of money as a symbol of work, responsibility for one’s own life and their family’s welfare, a symbol of maturity and independence. The analysis of the discourse of Elena and her relatives revealed completely different realizations of the concept, demonstrating that in their worldview money represents help and support which people are obliged to give to the ones who are in difficult situations. Less frequent concept attributes are meaning of life and freedom.
