This picture illustrates the difference of opinion and customs in the two countries Utopia and England. This shows one of the ways that Utopia funtions so well, which is the citizens are always contributing to their community. By the theif contributing back to society, the community benefit and he will be forced to repay the victims (Which is also shown in my picture.), which makes them happy too. After discussing this with the king of England, he took it as his own idea and presented it to his men, and took credit for the idea. Raphael also talked about why the system that England was already using was not working was because people had the same punishment for killing someone and stealing, so there would really be no reason for them not to kill the person, because if they get caught they will still suffer the same way. Also, by just killing the theif, the victim and the society does not benefit at all.
Which way do you think is better, or more effective?
(Pgs 30-32)
