11. The Less Limits, The Better According to Howard Zinn’s who wrote A People’s History of The United States, “The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you don’t listen to it you will never know what justice is” (10).

12. Who Was Victim? Zinn believes that “My point is not to grieve for the victims and denounce the executioners. Those tears, that anger, cast into the past, deplete our moral energy for the present. And the lines are not always clear. In the long run, the oppressor is also a victim. In the short run the victims, themselves desperate and tainted with the culture that oppresses them, turn on other victims”(10).

13. Conclusion Awareness of your situation and background is necessary. Process is as important as consequence. Good process cause good Consequence, Good Consequence does not always cause good process.
