Stevenson, Bryan. Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and
Redemption. Spiegel & Grau, 2015.
- It's a true story about the redeeming potential of mercy. Author was a gifted young lawyer when he founded the Equal Justice Initiative, a legal practice dedicated to defending the poor, wrongly convicted, and those caught in the furthest reaches of our criminal justice system. One of his first cases was a young man sentenced to die for a notorious murder he didn't commit, and the case drew author into a tangle of conspiracy, political machination, and legal brinkmanship and transformed his understanding of mercy and justice forever.

Asian Humanity
The theme of the project that I worked on as a group is about
Religion and Human Events. By reading the books and watching many of videos about
ancient civilizations, we know that ancient civilizations have held the power
of religion over the early years. Religious experiences and beliefs influence
events in a way that we can perceive how spiritual meanings are developed to
improve health, learning, self-esteem, and empathy.
I like the best about the project when I spend my time to
search for many things that have links to the project, and I found something
new and interesting. I believe that I learn a lot through this project. I put more
than 18 hours to create the three steps project and spent about 4 hours to edit
the whole project. So, the total I spent about 22 hours. My group project can
be access at Religion
and Human Event.
At first, I thought that by taking the Asian Humanity class,
I could gain additional knowledge about the history and origins of Asia, and my
goal was to answer my curiosity about Asia in general. After several months of
studying, reading books, and watching videos about Asian humanity, my knowledge
grow more and more, and my questions were answered.
The most interesting thing about this class in my opinion is
knowing and finding answers or the history behind modern life. Modern life
today would not exist without the past. Such as, how the religion that exists
today emerged. I know that Hinduism originated in India. But my perception that
Buddha came from China is wrong. And there are many more things that I learned
from taking this class.
