The old saying, ';An eye for an eye';, expresses the essence of rehabilitation. True or False?

Actually, the ';Eye for an eye'; saying was carried out by the Babalonian ruler Hammurabi in the Code of Hammurabi.


It is mentioned in the Bible and the Torah but


i believe they portray it as in the quote ';An eye for and eye


leaves everyone blind.'; In other words, turn the other cheek.





But to answer your question False


It's retaliation..





Rehabilitation = Rehab


Retaliation = Revenge


The old saying, ';An eye for an eye';, expresses the essence of rehabilitation. True or False?
False. Justice is the restoration of balance in a situation that has been destabilized by a crime. Even more it draws attention to one of the more sacred phrases ';Treat you neighborhood how you would treat yourself.'; Every potential criminal, on some level or another, thinks about the possible toll exacted if they are caught. If they are planning to remove someone's eye and then they realize that that well be their punishment it could make them think ';Is this really what i want?'; Vengeance is not separated from justice by motivation because motivation is regardless in Justice all the is being balanced is what has been done. Justice, as previously stated, is the restoration of balance, vengeance is not restoring balance as its toll often times does not fit the crime but also vengeance is an act of the victim justice is the act of an impartial third party. The old saying, ';An eye for an eye';, expresses the essence of rehabilitation. True or False?
The phrase an ';an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth'; comes from Exodus 21:23-25, so it is part of the Christian Bible as well as the Jewish Torah. The school of Hillel (an ancient Jewish rabbi) opposed the use of this verse to justify private vengeance. It is probably best understood as an instruction to make the punishment fit the crime and not succumb to the temptation to ';one-uppance.'; Left to their own devices, people are inclined to answer bad with worse (e.g., ';If you poke out my eye I鈥檒l poke out both of yours.';). The Torah (the Five Books of Moses) tell us here that we are not entitled to any more than has been taken from us. To refrain from responding to evil with greater evil is only the beginning of righteousness. Jesus showed the way to more positive righteousness when he admonished us to return good for evil. (Matthew 5:38).
no that is false. it means retaliation and revenge. like a long time ago a punishment for stealing would be cutting their hand off.
false, it expresses the essence of retaliation (revenge)
lol retaliation not rehabilitation...
