Week 10 EOC: Robert Kearns vs Erin Brockovich

So how do you compare these two individuals in some ways they are the same in their pursuit of justice, but in reality they were two totally different individuals. Erin was a woman who started investigating a real estate case that turned into one of the largest court cases this country has ever seen. Robert was an inventor who thru a flash of genius invented the intermittent wiper which is used today in every car made. Robert however was wronged by the ford motor company who stole his invention that opened the flood gates for every other car manufacturer to use his invention. Robert did however triumph in his pursuit of justice, just as Erin did in her case. Erin however was an individual who became a stronger individual who was upbeat and became a leader. Robert went the opposite direction and became an individual consumed by his need to be recognized for his invention. However these two both had the same drive which was for the wrongs to be righted and it wasn’t about the monetary results. They both were presented at the beginning of their pursuit with a small monetary settlement and they both made it clear that they were not interested and wanted only justice to be served. This just goes to show you that it doesn’t matter whether your male or female educated or uneducated, if you find that you or someone you care about are being harmed or mistreated it is within yours or mine abilities to right those wrongs. Another important observation is that when presented with these situations we have to decide how far we are willing to go in our pursuit for justice, can we get justice and not lose our way and everything we hold dear on a personal level like Erin Brockovich did. Or do we let it consume us until we turn around one day and realize we have driven those we love away and lost most of what we hold dear in our pursuit because of our obsession like Robert Kearns did. Which one of the two did it the right way well that is for you to decide, in my opinion they both did it the way they needed to and could do to get what they wanted most. Justice
