Aesop's Fables or the Aesopica is a collection of fables credited to Aesop, a slave and storyteller believed to have lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 564 BCE. Of diverse origins, the stories associated with his name have descended to modern times through a number of sources and continue to be reinterpreted in different verbal registers and in popular as well as artistic media.
The fables originally belonged to the oral tradition and were not collected for some three centuries after Aesop’s death. By that time a variety of other stories, jokes and proverbs were being ascribed to him, although some of that material was from sources earlier than him or came from beyond the Greek cultural sphere. The process of inclusion has continued until the present, with some of the fables unrecorded before the later Middle Ages and others arriving from outside Europe. The process is continuous and new stories are still being added to the Aesop corpus, even when they are demonstrably more recent work and sometimes from known authors.
Manuscripts in Latin and Greek were important avenues of transmission, although poetical treatments in European vernaculars eventually formed another. On the arrival of printing, collections of Aesop’s fables were among the earliest books in a variety of languages. Through the means of later collections, and translations or adaptations of them, Aesop’s reputation as a fabulist was transmitted throughout the world.
Initially the fables were addressed to adults and covered religious, social and political themes. They were also put to use as ethical guides and from the Renaissance onwards were particularly used for the education of children. Their ethical dimension was reinforced in the adult world through depiction in sculpture, painting and other illustrative means, as well as adaptation to drama and song. In addition, there have been reinterpretations of the meaning of fables and changes in emphasis over time
a system of social and ethical philosophy rather than a religion. In fact, Confucianism built on an ancient religious foundation to establish the social values, institutions, and transcendent ideals of traditional Chinese society
1.- The Pardon Power is one of the most important faculties the president has under the Constitution.
I feel this capacity must be used with responsibility and ethics, otherwise, the President can get into so much trouble. This power was added by the Founding Fathers in Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution. They stated that the President "will have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment."
2.- In 1992, President George H.W. Bush pardoned six former administration officials that were accused to be involved in the Iran-Contra affair. I agree with this pardon because I think there were elements to justify the action.
What I agree the most is the ethics and responsibility the President needs to demonstrate when pardon someone because it is alegal forgiveness for a crime, or removing any remaining prison sentence.
3.- Recently, in 2015, a Texas prisioner convicted of drug trafficking refused a pardon from President Barack Obama because the prisoner was first required to go through drug treatment. I agree with the intention of the President and with the condition of rehab first. That way the prisoner should demonstrate first that he was going to do something to improve his condition.
