Ignorance Vs. Guilt - 4th quiz put on test

Q: If a person does not know, is that person still guilty of grievous crime?
A:I don't think that you can be guilty of a crime that you weren't aware of because it seems unlawful and harsh, because i could see how if you were meaning to do it which would be guilt and not knowing of what you are doing are two totally different things.

Q: What would you do if you were on the jury at the Oedipus trial?
A: I would first see if he was ignorant toward the law and if he had any knowing of what he was doing, so knowing that he did know that the law existed, he thought that he has avoided it enough that he wouldn't get in trouble when he first ran away from home. But his other parents who had adopted him never told him that they were his real parents so he really had no clue of who were his real parents. So considering this if he would have known that his adopted parents weren't his real parents he could have avoided the prophecy and breaking the law. To this Oedipus is not a guilty man, because if you think about it, you can only do wrong if you know what is right.

Q: What would you do if you were on the jury in a modern day trial?
A: In regards of today, my opinion wouldn't change, I would get down to the facts and see his background and how he was grown up as a child, because today you can find more ways to prove if you are guilty or not. We have much more accelerated technology so we are able to uncover the truth more, and of Oedipus's trial back then would be a simple case today. Because if you know what is right and what is wrong you shouldn't half to be punished for something you didn't know you couldn't do.

Q: What would cause you to vote one way or another? Values? Beliefs? Evidence? Society Norms? Other information?
A: To change my mind about saying Oedipus is not guilty would be if he actually chose not to know the law I would probably say he's guilty because that is pure ignorant. Because he would know better than to not know about the law than him not really having a change to know about what he had done. The evidence would also put me on a scale because him actually doing what he had done would make me think twice but also knowing he didn't have the knowledge of his wrongs and the Society back then wasn't ask crisp as it is today, usually today you get the education from the news on TV, in the papers and in school. Because back then they really didn't have the technology as we have today. But this is purely my opinion on how I feel about Oedipus and how his trial, I honestly think that he is not a guilty person because he had no awareness of what he was doing was wrong.
