Why Can I Forgive This But Not That?

Text Us Your Karen Stories

Welcome to the You Can Call Me Karen Podcast! This week we dive deep into the concept of justice, exploring the differences between vertical vs. horizontal morality and how these perspectives shape our legal and ethical systems. We trace the history of the justice system, from ancient laws to modern courts, and ask the fundamental question: Are humans innately good?

Join us as we examine how our views on justice have evolved, influenced by philosophy, religion, and societal change. Whether you're passionate about criminal justice reform, ethics, or philosophy, this episode offers a thought-provoking discussion on what fairness really means in today’s world. Listen now and challenge your perspective on justice!
