out of their way to despise each other?” Jeremy Finch, one of the most important characters from To Kill a Mockingbird, had posed this question (Lee page 259). He says this because he is curious, that’s just how the author shaped him. Lee Harper, the author of the story, made him curious, protective, and moral. It is because of those three traits that I am most like Jeremy Finch. The first trait curiosity, is demonstrated by Jem (another name for Jeremy). One example of this is his everlasting
In To Kill a Mockingbird, this person shows how they’ve entered adulthood with responsibilities given to them and deciding what’s best for their choices. The coming of age for Jeremy Atticus Finch was bravery throughout the novel.

in To Kill A Mockingbird To Kill A Mockingbird takes place in small town Maycomb, Alabama, a depression era town where people move slowly and twenty-four hours seems longer. The narrator of the story is a six-year-old girl named Jean Louise Finch, a tomboy who hates wearing dresses and goes by the nickname "Scout."

philosophical principle that holds a teleological view when it comes the nature of actions. To solely discuss utilitarianism is much too broad of topic and must be broken down, so I will discuss specifically quantitative utilitarianism as presented by Jeremy Bentham. In this essay I will present the argument of Bentham supporting his respective form of utilitarianism and I will give my critique of this argument along the way. Before the main discussion of the Bentham's utilitarianism gets underway

Assess the merits of Utilitarianism (24 Marks) Utilitarianism is a theory aimed at defining one simple basis that can be applied when making any ethical decision. It is based on a human’s natural instinct to seek pleasure and avoid pain. Jeremy Bentham is widely regarded as the father of utilitarianism. He was born in 1748 into a family of lawyers and was himself, training to join the profession. During this process however, he became disillusioned by the state British law was in and set out

also the Radleys are part of the white society that was discriminated. The Radleys lived differently from the rest of the Maycomb people. However, just by living in a different style, the people believed that they were different human beings. Even Jeremy described Boo Radley as "[he] [is] about six-and-a- half feet tall, judging form his tracks; he dined on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch, that is why his hands were bloodstained."(P13) This is rather a description suitable for monsters

The songs under evaluation are the early nineties hit Jeremy by Pearl Jam and the recent hit Adams Song by Blink 182. Jeremy, written by lead singer Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jams debut album, Ten, was a controversial song released in 1992. The song is about a boy named Jeremy who commits suicide one day in school.

ultimately murder his brother Jeremy. Simon’s enlightenment is achieved through unconventional methods and only after the death of his brother, does Simon grasp the magnitude of murdering Jeremy. The obvious cause of Jeremy’s death was Simon taking the tools and murdering his brother.

For one moment, Jeremy would treat Simon as though

Cesare Beccaria (1738-1794) and Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832). Beccaria is widely recognized as the father of the classical school of criminology. In his essay Dei deliti e delle pene (On Crimes and Punishment), Beccaria asserted that humans are rational, have free will, and are hedonistic. He also claimed that crime can be prevented by convincing warnings of punishments. To succeed in preventing crime, certainty, severity, and celerity of punishment must be present. Jeremy Bentham embraced the utilitarian
