To me, “Justice” means fairness, equity, and the application of laws or principles to ensure that individuals are treated with dignity and respect, and that wrongdoing is well addressed. Regarding the treatment of convicts in Japan, I believe it is a complex issue. Japan’s justice system is routinely criticized for its harsh treatment of people pending trial. Being denied bail is common, along with the harsh treatment in order to obtain confessions and inability to see friends or family. I understand that to some extent why its Judicial system is built the way they are, however I also believe that “guilty without proven innocent” is also an essential for any judicial system. Comparing this to Canada, Canada stronger focuses on individual rights and access to legal representation. As for how these ideas compare my previous understanding of Japan, it aligns with the perception that Japan as a society values respect and social cohesion. These Ideas maybe shown towards the anime “Psycho Pass”, where it tells a story in a dystopian future, how society’s concept of justice is determined by a system that analyzes individuals’ mental states to predict and prevent crime. The series explores the consequences of such a system and raises questions about free will and the nature of justice, reflecting societal values and cultural attitudes towards crime and punishment in Japan.

I find examining my horoscopes, blood type analysis, and personality tests to a certain degree, but I place greater trust in the latter for accuracy. These tools, while widely embraced, serve a purpose in offering occasional guidance during challenging times and fostering self-awareness. However, I maintain a level of skepticism regarding their ability to predict specific outcomes, such as ideal career choices or intelligence levels based solely on these indicators. Such reliance on these assessments can lead to unjust treatment and diminished self-esteem for those unfavorably categorized. Ultimately, I believe these methods fall short in accurately determining our futures or prescribing our interactions with others.
