Consider the issue of individual responsibility for criminal behavior in light of the Wideman essay and Griffin essays. Both Wideman and Griffin, though in vastly different ways, want to argue that environment does contribute to the decisions people make for themselves, both criminal and otherwise, and Griffin goes so far as to suggest that we, ourselves, are in some small way responsible or at least connected to events, criminal and otherwise, that occur half-way across the globe. Has your reading and Wideman and Griffin affected in any way your perception of criminal responsibility? And are their possibilities for genuine redemption for criminals who commit heinous acts?” Can you apply current international circumstances to a discussion of either the Wideman or Griffin texts? Write an essay that explores the issue of criminal responsibility and how it is shaped (or isn’t shaped) by exterior forces, using Griffin and Wideman to extend and develop your discussion. Don’t forget to establish a clear thesis stating your perspective early in the essay.
