I'm not smart enough to figure this out?

Question

David Herbert Lawrence once observed: "Ethics and equity and the principles of justice do not change with the calendar." What message does this comment convey to you?

Answer 1

example segregation (1). (Mid 1900s) blacks and whites. a black should not drink form a whites fountin.. or jail is enevidible .sp. (2)

ok bad example but the point remains: the law may (or may not in senerio) effect the the law at a later date. (3)

eithics and principles (1) and the principles of jusitice(2)do not change the calander (3)

ok i totaly made that up but makes sense right???:)

Answer 2

It means that we interpret things differently as time progresses. The Vatican, the Constitution, the Bible, lots of things.

Basically, if a law, moral belief, or doctrine meant something 100 years ago, it should mean the same now.

Answer 3

in simple explanation...calendar changes - days,weeks, months, year changes

but our Ethics, equity and the principles of justice (notice the three words they are useful) that must not change. The environment that we are must not make us change in the wrong way but stand firm on our ethics, equity, justice - our foundation on these must be firmly grounded

Answer 4

i know it was writen between 1885-1930, British Author

In a world that’s filled to the brim with new media, it’s easy to forget

about the old. But traditional media is far from dead.

so basicly ethic and equity is changing every thing but impossable to change tha calender

Answer 5

maybe it had something to do with the end of the earth

no matter what we do to s***w it up its going to end on a certain day?

ooohhh maybe he was some kind of psychic

Answer 6

meaning: what is deemed "right" does not change with the rest of the world, though our perception of it might.

conveys an air of arrogance and self-righteousness. justice and ethics might not sift with the times, but who decides what those standards are?

Julius Caesar Act III, Scene 1 from Julius Caesar by Shakespeare

""But I am as constant as the northern star

Of whose true-fix'd and resting quality

There is no fellow in the firmament"

Answer 7

it conveyed a headache. Thanks a lot.

Answer 8

The message I get is he is much smarter than the current politicians and judges of our time!

Answer 9

He;s saying that ethics and equity and their principles will never change. They will remain the same in any situation.

Answer 10

It simply means that Ethics, equity, and the principles of justice don't change with time.  They are not dependent upon what season it is and are not lenient.

Answer 11

I think it means that the ethical stances of the past still holdup today (they stand the test of time).  So no matter how much time goes by, the principles of justice will remain.
