Justice in Our Society

During Wednesday’s Rose Café, Judge Scott Miller came in to talk to us. He discussed how he sentences people. He discussed how he considers how the person grew up and their history. Before the café, I never thought about what it was like to be a judge and having to make these decisions. I did not think about how a judge would go about sentencing a person for a crime. Sentencing someone to jail is not something that can be taken lightly. It was amazing to hear about Judge Miller’s thought process when sentencing a person. I also realized that I have not followed any court cases all the way from trial to sentencing.  After the café, I realized that I should pay more attention to cases because they have impacts our society. Furthermore, it was also interesting that he discussed changing education and healthcare in America. I agree with Judge Miller that the education and healthcare systems need to be changed. Education and healthcare are constantly talked about as issues. Although I do not have a clear idea about how to change them, I want to be in some way involved in the change.
