EXERCISE 4:

1. How would you explain this saying: "Ignorance of the law excuses no one".
 Ignorance of the law is no excuse means that people cannot justify their actions by claiming
they were unaware of the law. People would be far more likely to breach a contract,
disregard a neighbor's right to privacy, or distribute narcotics if they could get away with it
by claiming ignorance of the law. Even when people have the best of intentions, they may
break the law because they are unaware that they are doing so. Judges can sometimes be
tolerant when persons have good intentions. When certain types of crimes are involved,
judges are less understanding. Example; You're still guilty if you didn't notice the stop sign
you didn't stop at. In the same way, if you didn't notice the posted speed limit. You did
something wrong even if you thought the loose pens in the post office were freebies.
2. Why are you not justified in doing wrong because of passions?
 We have a reason to reign in our passions when they become out of hand. This can be
challenging. When a passion is moved, there is always some movement of the body. Don't
make the mistake of conflating passions with vices. Anger, like lust, which is an excessive
desire for sexual pleasure, can temporarily drive a person insane. Because wrong is wrong,
regardless of how it is committed. If you hurt, injured, or did something wrong to someone
for any reason, even passion, you have equally affected that person, and they will have to
live with the consequences, which are entirely your fault. Take a look at it from a different
perspective. Would you find it justifiable if someone's passion caused you harm or had an
adverse effect on you in any way? Isn't that correct? So there you have it, no one is justified
in wrongdoing you for any reason!
3. What actions may be justified because of violence?
 My own belief is that violence is permissible when another person's life is in danger. If
someone is harming my or my family's health or safety, I will unquestionably respond with
necessary violence. If I see someone being harmed, I will use the appropriate amount of
force to stop the attack. To effect an arrest or subdue a suspect, I will use the appropriate
level of force which could be considered violence. Some people will fight against me, even
though this is normally done by vocal command. When that happens, I'll use more force to
subdue that individual. Your results may vary. It's fine if you are a pacifist. If someone tried
to harm me or my children, I would be extremely violent and show no remorse. To protect
myself or my children, I'd kill someone viciously. Shooting, strangling, suffocating, drowning,
stabbing, and hitting someone with a car are all examples of crimes. In my opinion,
defending a life justifies violence.
4. Why are actions done out of fear accountable actions?
 We are responsible for all of our actions, regardless of their motivation. First, unless you
claim to be a mind reader, you have no way of knowing why someone does something. A
person who acts out of fear is a weak person who lacks self-control. The allegation of
 behaving out of fear, on the other hand, is a handy but false accusation used to shame those
whose actions are disliked by one group. Many people believe that fear motivates people to
buy guns, but the truth is that there is no need for fear. We do actions all the time;
breathing is an action, as is moving your hand; fear is an action of the mind, not of the soul
and we are responsible for all actions, good and bad because we breathe, oxygen slowly kills
our bodies this is called ageing and fear is one of the mind's ways of obtaining energy from
the soul; you must accept it.
5. Why are we accountable for actions done out of habits?
 Habits are learned actions that can be beneficial or harmful. In one way or another, we are
all responsible for our acts. Even if we think we got away with something, we didn't since we
remember it, and our conscience may make us regret it eventually. Excessive drinking,
smoking, drug use, and a variety of other harmful habits are just a few examples. These have
the potential to harm others as well as yourself, and may even result in death. Exercise,
proper diet, attire, appearance, speech, attitude - positive thinking, and many other
examples are examples of good habits. These will lead to a more enjoyable existence and
possibly a longer life. You could get away with anything if you blamed it on a habit, because
society would run wild if we weren't held accountable for our own misadventures. There is
no room for motives, intents, accidents, or other factors in being held accountable for the
consequences of our actions.
