Injustice


INJUSTICE

The definition of the word itself varies upon how individual interprets this particular word .
Some may say , " The Absence of Justice"
&
Some may say " The Violation of Rights of Another "
But , the simplest definition that we can narrow down and I bet every single person know this ,

UNFAIRNESS .

So this morning , I've watched The Other Boleyn Girl film . This film made me realized something , injustice can occur anytime , anywhere .

  • Favoritism among siblings
  • Discrimination / injustice on women
  • People been judge / treated according to their social status
  • The King's power is unlimited - influence the law makers
  • A person's right is never exist
FAVORITISM AMONG SIBLINGS
In this film , Favoritism among siblings is very obvious . As we can see when William Carey asks Anne's hand in marriage , Sir Thomas instead offers Mary because he thinks Anne deserves more rather than William Carey . In Fact , Anne is the one who been educated with different types of knowledge by his father since she was a child compared to Mary , she doesn't have talents at all .

DISCRIMINATION AND INJUSTICE TOWARDS WOMEN
Sir Thomas believes that everyone improves the standings of their family through their daughters. Where he thought by using her daughters he can gain position in the court, but he was wrong. His wife doesnt has the rights to voice out her opinions because women that era are considered as low and have to follow what men say .

PEOPLE BEEN JUDGE ACCORDING TO THEIR SOCIAL STATUS
George is forced by Sir Thomas to marry Jane Parker just because her family has the status and also to pay his debts .

THE KING'S POWER IS UNLIMITED
Everyone who comes to court irrevocably lathes his or her fate to King Henry's mood swings, his wants and his whims and the Privy Council is not the exception. Their giving their judgment as according to his wish .



:: Everynow and then , injustice is everywhere . It depends on society to curb it ::
