Forgiveness: A Bridge Across Abysses of Revenge
Donald W. Shriver Jr.
Article eight describes how the other side of the world; is
holding a grudge for what America did to their country. Korea
was left alone and was ignored in the aftermath of war. It
appears the soldiers blasted civilians killing many. History is
recorded through the penmanship of one hand at a time. As their
minds absorb the events of the day and they transfer them
through their hand they create the framework of history from
one perspective, with their opinion interjected to the express the
main idea of events past, history is written.
The Korea war seemed to have been a political tool within
the grasp and boundaries between the Soviet-backed Democratic
People’s Republic of Korea to the north, and the pro-Western
Republic of Korea to the south. Everything comes out in the
wash. It seems as though the political monsters are simply
pointing fingers, to acquire position in the game of politics. To
truly understand the needs and wants of any political fashion,
we must understand the quest of the people of that community.
The Holocaust “forgotten but remembered” ( ), was a
political movement, attempting to purify human DNA from a
worked sense of unification of what was believed to be a
stronger race. I think it was an attempt unjustified by the evil
passions sewn together by one man, with one idea with no
concern for anything or anyone else. It truly was a selfish act.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 1996 with the
adoption of Amnesty for Truth in South African parliament.
They collected money building their trust and filled their
coffers to do what apparently, seemed to be absolutely nothing.
They monitored their funds as they exhausted them, while
seeking out more. I searched and searched for a resolution of
their accomplishment, only to find
nada
. It seems to me, they give a cards endlessly to advance to go,
as they collect ed two hundred dollars, and allow the players
continue the game.
With the curtain of fraud used as a drape as in an
illusionist’s act. What’s really going on is the purchasing and
selling of life crimes and our souls, by those who believe they
can.

The Role Of Identity Reconstruction in promoting
Reconciliation:
"An acknowledgment of the identity of the other is perceived
as an act of self-destruction, as recognizing the experiences of
the other fundamentally brings into question one's own
interpretation of history, the conflict, and of the
responsibility one holds for the past, present, and future shared
realities (
Helmick
pg. 129)." Once another person enters into the conflicting
issue, the predominant leader of the conflict feels threatened.
This is when they begin to realize that the other person's
knowledge, skills, and history level of the conflict at hand, is
more creditable than that of their own. The identity of the
person and the background knowledge that they believed they
knew is obsolete once the new party joins in on the views of the
conflict. They begin to wonder and question themselves as if
what they initially believed and concluded from the conflict
then has to be false because the knowledge of the other party is
more powerful than theirs. Not knowing that having different
views and opinions is not a bad thing, it can bring people
together once they begin to realize that everything is not one
sided and there can be more than one conclusion.
To resolve this issue,
Kelman
can up with the idea of "negotiating identity", this is when both
sides take in consideration the other's view points and identity
level- in order to coexist and possibly, create a bond. It has
been concluded, "[There are two aspects of identity, the "I" and
the "Me." The "I" is the core identity, that which one cannot
change...The second aspect is the part of the self that is socially
constructed, the part that evolves as a consequence of our
interaction with the world. This is the "ME," that which I will
call the constructed identity(
Helmick
, pg. 131)]." In order to allow one self to not lose their identity
during conflict, one must follow the constructed aspects of
identity. The constructed identity is a long-term process, it
occurs during social involvement and the interactions with
others in the world. In order to resolve conflicting issues with
other people, maintaining both parties identity level and
viewpoints, all while reconciling their differences to come with
a better conclusion and bond, one must engage with them and
get to know each other from multiple stand points.

Explain briefly how and if chronic health issues have an effect
on the cos of operating a criminal justice organization. What is
the best manner in which to reduce any said cost if you were
asked to design a health benefit package.
If you work in or know of anyone who works in a criminal
justice organization knows that shift work and high stress are
the two things that you can always expect. Both of these can
cause long lasting physical and mental health issues which can
be costly not only for the person but the organization as well.
Police officers will work long hours and always be on shift
work which rotates between days and nights. This can cause
their circadian rhythm to be out of sorts. This can lead to
officers sleeping on duty, use more sick time, higher rates of
misconduct, and are at higher risk of injury and or death from
lack of focus. Their lack of sleep also inhibits their ability to
cope with the stress that they face every day. Any criminal
justice employee will face physical and psychological stress
every day they work. They always have to worry if the next
person they come in contact with will try and take their life or
force them to take a life. This chronic stress will most likely
lead to chronic health issues which include high blood pressure,
type 2 diabetes, obesity, stroke, and PTSD. There are ways that
management can help to prevent these serious conditions.
Managers of criminal justice organizations should always be
looking for ways to improve the health, morale, and welfare of
their police officers. Employees should have access to education
which addresses ways to improve their sleep and reduce stress.
Such as, maintaining a regular exercise routing, eat healthy,
avoid caffeine a few hours before going to sleep, and to seek
professional medical help before either issue starts causing
some of the previous listed conditions (Bond, 2014). If I was
designing a health benefit package then I would offer incentives
for passing an annual physical fitness test, which would include
their BMI. I would also give them access to a professional
nutritionist, mental health provider, marriage counselor, and a
gym free of cost within the work place. All of these things will
not only help to encourage a healthy lifestyle but it will also
give them the necessary support to be successful.
