Justice And Revenge

What is the difference between justice and revenge? What do these two concepts have in common? What are some examples of each? 

          Justice and revenge is two very different words that describe different concepts but in a way, they are similar. Justice means the quality of being fair and reasonable and have just behavior or treatment. On the other hand, revenge means to take back on someone for what they have done. When you have justice, you are trying to be fair by taking a look at both sides of the argument. However, when you want to revenge, since someone harmed you so you want to harm them, you won't take time to consider why they did what they did. For example, you are walking down the street and you saw a group of children surrounding one poor and homeless looking dog, beating it up, if you are being fair, you would help the dog out but if you are being injustice, you would just leave the dog alone or you would also join the group of kids and start beating the dog up. On the other hand, justice and revenge can also be similar. Why would someone want to revenge? Well, it's nearly mostly because you have done something to them that had made them suffer. So, if they revenge, they are being justice in a more violent way. For example, April's uncle is used to drugs and one day, he made a stupid move by killing his own sister because when they are young, their parents always favor toward his sister's side. Well, April, who have done nothing to his uncle will feel like revenging for a lost mother especially when she have done nothing wrong. What April is searching is justice.

I like this video because it reminds me of some facts that are similar in nearly all mothers and fathers and teachers even. Mothers. Most are similar in some ways. They care about how things look around the house (like in the video, she's telling Bill to clean his room) and they always made sure their children are clean or at least most parents (like in the video, Bill is talking about the part of clean underwear). As for Fathers. They are different than Mothers (like what the video said) but in a weird kind of way. As for some teachers I have met, when they get angry, they starts yelling at the students and through those yelling, you will catch some questions and students who try to answer, get yelled even more. 
I like this video not because it's funny but because it's true. I barely hear grown ups talk about their parents like this. Children talking to their friends in that way is more normal but a grown up, it's just interesting and weird. I like Bill Cosby and his stories.
