Week 10, Post #1

        The first term I searched was revenge, in which a lot of episodes from a show entitled “revenge” on ABC came up.  I have never heard of the show, yet the fact that they have a show which is centered around revenge leads me to believe that notion  of “ an eye for an eye” (177) is considered to be socially acceptable. When I searched forgiveness I found sites pertaining to psychology and the bible. Based on the sites represented from the internet search forgiveness the process of “ letting go of feelings of revenge and desires to retaliate”( 176) are held in a high regard and is highly encouraged.  When I searched reconciliation  the majority of the sites talked about peace and justice and restoring a mutual respect between individuals. Also, this term had more of a global outlook, as a result it had the greatest variety of sites.
