The management of the airport where Tanzil works sent him a brief letter advising him that very serious allegations had been made about him, and that he would have to attend a disciplinary hearing to answer the accusations. The hearing was scheduled five days after Tanzil received the letter.

Tanzil was not told what the accusations were. At the day of the hearing, a legal representative accompanied Tanzil. But the chair of the hearing, Boris, refused to allow Tanzil’s representative to attend or participate in the hearing.

During the hearing, Tanzil was told that ‘a number of witnesses’ had reported seeing him steal from passengers’ luggage during the course of his duties, and that this was a very serious offence that justified the immediate termination of his employment.

Tanzil was surprised by these allegations.

When he asked to question the witnesses, Boris refused his request and said: ‘We should get this done without any dither or delay.’ After a brief hearing,

CRJ 880-G01 Week 1 Discussion – Response to Classmate

Answer the question that you claimed. Your answer will require APA and Bluebook (if relevant) citations and references.

Drawing from Michael Strong’s The Habit of Thought, you will need to take the question and your response seriously, be sensitive and polite, show integrity and honesty, and demonstrate your willingness to accept criticism (if applicable). And from Matt Copeland, you should also demonstrate critical reflection, excellent writing skills, and if necessary, the ability to resolve conflict.

Don’t necessarily accept what the writers (of the sources you use) say. You need to engage the writers or scholars by constructing your own understanding, backed by authorities (citations and references).

Hence, you will be in dialogue with the text, as already discussed in the first section regarding close reading. Remember that this is not a debate with your classmates Never be personal in your response to another’s question.

You can engage the question, seeking clarification as to what was meant, build upon their ideas, politely ask for evidence (if applicable), respectfully disagree if you feel necessary, and overall be positive and speak to the group, not to the individual who posted the question or to me as the professor.

Question to Respond to:

Eliyasa Dampha posted

1. It is often said that “seeing is believing.” How do we know that the face someone claimed to have seen is the same face and not the face of another person or a double?

2. Most people actively pursue justice when they are wrongfully convicted. Balestrero’s case appears to be different. Why did he resign himself to fate or apathetically accept injustice?

3. Names, it appears, are used to locate people’s identity in terms of ethnicity, gender, class, etc. Is there a possibility that the eye-witness identification of Balestrero was affected by his ethnic background?

4. What social, political, and even legal conditions contributed to the wrongful conviction of Balestrero? What could we as a society do to minimize the effects of such conditions, if any?
