I teach restorative justice from a graduate theological womanist theoethical justice lens (a mouthful). A student referred your website and video. I affirm that you offer one of the best introductory, yet in-depth foundational conceptualizations of RJ as philosophical (ethical) praxis (behavioral / processing). THANK YOU!
😂... 🤔 . . . 😂
Love this video. So beautiful to be sharing these ways of thinking and being!
Hi David, I'm taking a TCI class tomorrow morning and had put this video off until tonight. Note: I was unaware of the topic of this video, I just knew I had many other things I needed to do. Anyway, I wish I had watched this sooner! I found it informative and pertinent to the current struggles of today. You did an amazing job presenting this topic. I'll be sharing with friends and family. I was hoping you had other videos but I guess I'll check out your Instagram and reading list for more information. Thank you!
Thank you for this! Attending a class at 1pm today :)
I love your definition of RJ.
Very informative. Thank you!
Thanks, I appreciated the overview.
I work in restorative justice! I enjoyed this vid!
I have been cohabitating with a covert narcissist for four years. I also work for her. Our personal and professional relationship is not working out. One of my issues with her is that she always owes me money. I told her that I want to discontinue our arrangement;therefore, I need to get my money so that I can find somewhere to rent. It’s been over two years now and I’m still here feeling stuck with her. I am living in Jamaica. Can you advise me on this matter please? Thanks. Keep up the good works.
I’m writing my dissertation on this. Thank you!
can i get a link to a copy of your dissertation when it's done? it id realy hard to find acedemic material on this. honestley, even just the references would help me so much.
RJ is the only sensible way to deal with juvenile delinquency
thank you for the video!!
Thank you for creating this video! So informative.
You are so welcome!
Love It!
Thank you!
David, I will be honest. Because of the assumptions that you propose, this appears to be more of a reformative world view than reformative justice. What I mean is that instead of assuming people can or intend to produce good, we must identify their "True Self" as good. The first is an assumption about potential, the other is an assumption about the natural state. Can you explain why you choose to use the latter language? Thanks!
@@AmplifyRJ Thank you for responding. Yes I meant restorative* and yes your response makes sense. Thank you.
How can there be a true self and multiple truths simultaneously? Wouldn't subjectivity be a detriment to the idea of coming together as a community and promoting our interconnectedness
Great.
I'm really into Stoic philosophy. We have two words to offer this conversation of values.
The first is Oikeiosis, which translates from Greek as "affinity", "endearment". The philosopher Hierocles said oikeoses is the first spark of justice.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oikei%C3%B4sis
The second is the word Cosmopolitan, which translates as "citizen of the world". The Stoics saw all of existence as a single being, and our choices contribute to that being, and move as waves out to it's furthest reaches. From here the Stoics argued for mercy and benevolence to the enemies of their nation.
The Stoics came from Socratic philosophy, which states that no one does wrong on purpose, but instead aim at what they believe is right to them in a moment. Ignorance in Socratic tradition is never deliberate. Even those who seem willfully ignorant are victims of not knowing why you should care about something enough to learn about it. I've been curious to explore how this idea fits with multiple truths, and the notion that everyone is good, wise, and powerful. I imagine there's overlap and differences, but the Stoics aimed to admit when they were wrong, and to improve when an idea created more benefit, truth, and justice, and I think they would be thrilled by the work of RJ and especially Amplify RJ.
My final offering here from the Stoics is Hierocles Spheres of Affinity (also known as the Concentric Circles). There's 4 circles inside each other. The center is the self, and the ring outside that is the family. Outside family is the community, and outside community is the world. The Stoics say that an ethical life is one of aiming to move the outside rings one layer closer, such that the family is treated as the self, the community becomes the family, and the world becomes your community.
You guys at Amplify RJ are my heroes. I look to you guys and take a lot of notes on what more virtue filled normative behaviour looks like. As Circle Forward says, the amount of trauma in the world is so huge that even the most well funded therapy program could not keep up with the workload, and the only other alternative we have is to become therapeutic to each other in our daily choices. The Stoics would love this, and the notion that we can not throw people away.
Thank you guys so much for all you do. It's deeply meaningful to me.
On the aspect of multiple truths can you give some thought as to what seems to me a paradox of this topic? Despite it being understandably empowering for someone to proclaim their perspective as their truth, this is still problematic if the truth that they are proclaiming is flatly self-contradicting and absurd. I say absurd while fully recognizing that often times a gaslighting manipulator can use such an argument to demean and invalidate the perspectives of their victims. However, I imagine, no I have seen examples of such extremes firsthand. For example, when someone suffers from symptoms of psychosis that are not obvious to everyone else. They might have religious experiences or or hallucinated experiences of being abducted by the government or aliens. And this is not exclusively a problem that I would say I have encountered with schizophrenics but even with psychologically normal people. We all have unique and very real perspectives and experiences but that does not change the problems of letting a confirmed delusion dictate the resulting agreement with someone who has clearly not been delusional.
To be sure, every time I try to parce this thought out with a specific example it's ridiculously easy to get caught up in the weeds of the specifics. I'm wondering if you can help me determine a broad means of reasoning about this. Does a delusional person need to be validated? Well, I suppose they do as I think about it. But is it reasonable to expect the delusional aspects of their experiences to dictate the outcomes of other people's lives? In fact, even more broadly speaking it does not take a delusional perspective but merely an irrational one such as a phobia to make this conundrum apparent. Any help you could offer would be appreciated.
What I don't understand is restorative justice was created by the indigenous before 1870's yet everywhere you can read that Europeans and well "whites" created it.
makes you think about who created the sources you're reading
I wonder if everyone will include their preferred pronouns when introducing themselves in 20 years or if it’ll blow over
Judging by the lawlessness and carnage on the streets, and who's perpetrating the vast majority of it, you might want to subject your theories to some serious critical reconsideration.
I’m a restorative practitioner. I would love to connect in the future. @incitesinsight
