Le Guin Ursla " The ones who walk away from Omelas"

           Social Justice is equality through all.  What i mean by this is that every person no matter of age gender skin color height or what be it is totally equal in stature.  At first we see this in Le Guin Ursala's short story, but once we get to the end we discover that all their happiness and joy in their world is at the expense of one innocent child.  Is that fair?  I would say not; even though is only one child and there is a lot at stake, it is against the laws of humanity.  Another theory is that for justice to occur truth shall be set free and all of those who did wrong shall be punished.  That would mean almost everyone in the town could be punished for witnessing the cruelty of the child.  The only ones who are exempt are the ones who walked straight out of town.  We assume that every person has a belief of all of their emotions; it is just the ones that bring happiness that the people feel.  But not until they see the child that they feel regret sorrow and the other side of joy.  This implied point by Le Guin helps us see that unless pain is seen or felt, it is to be not known of.  The social justice issuffer; this is not justice. lop-sided in this story because of the peoples joy one person needs to

class survey Vujcec

Brendan Vujcec, Williamsville NY, bvujcec15@jcu.edu
Call me whatever you would like, Brendan, vuj, etc.
I am extremely into movies and television.  I love movies and have seen so many that chances are if you've seen it i have or even know everything about it.  I am always full of useless information, and am a huge Bills and Sabres fan.

I feel best working in a group that way i can build off of other peoples ideas.  I feel everyones views need to be heard because i am not perfect and can't think of everything.

I believe the computer because it lead to so many other great inventions.  We even refer everything we own to its "computing power".
1. My Apple Iphone
2. My computer
3. My TV
I have a lot of experience with working with computers and social media; i would even call myself a social media junkie.  I am about a7 or 8 with my technology proficiency; i may not know everything i but i learn very quickly.

Dr. Shutkin: How long have you been involved in social media.  Whats your favorite social media site to use?
