Fair Opportunity and Responsibility
Fair Opportunity and Responsibility lies at the intersection of moral psychology and criminal jurisprudence and analyzes responsibility and its relations to desert, culpability, excuse, blame, and punishment.It links responsibility with the reactive attitudes but makes the justification of the reactive attitudes depend on a prior and independent conception of responsibility.Responsibility and excuse are inversely related; an agent is responsible for misconduct if and only if it is not excused.As a result, we can study responsibility by understanding excuses.We excuse misconduct when an agent's capacities or opportunities are significantly impaired, because these capacities and opportunities are essential if agents are to have a fair opportunity to avoid wrongdoing.This conception of excuse tells us that responsibility itself consists in agents having suitable cognitive and volitional capacities - normative competence - and a fair opportunity to exercise these capacities free from undue interference - situational control. Because our reactive attitudes and practices presuppose the fair opportunity conception of responsibility, this supports a predominantly retributive conception of blame and punishment that treats culpable wrongdoing as the desert basis of blame and punishment.We can then apply the fair opportunity framework to assessing responsibility and excuse in circumstances of structural injustice, situational influences in ordinary circumstances and in wartime, insanity and psychopathy, immaturity, addiction, and crimes of passion.Though fair opportunity has important implications for each issue, treating them together allows us to explore common themes and appreciate the need to take partial responsibility and excuse seriously in our practices of blame and punishment.

Raffles : And the Golden Opportunity
By the time of his death, Thomas Stamford Raffles (1781-1826) was the founder of Singapore and Governor of Java, having left school in his early teens to become a clerk for the British East India Company.Charismatic and daring, Raffles forged an extraordinary path for himself in South East Asia - refusing to be satisfied with the trading posts available to the British, he defied Dutch governors and wrangled with warring local rulers to establish what is now a world city.An ardent linguist and zoologist, Raffles spoke fluent Malay and found time to write The History of Java, as well as naming several species of flora and fauna he discovered on his travels.He founded London Zoo and promoted the study of Malay alongside European languages in Southeast Asia. Raffles remains a controversial figure - a utopian imperialist, disobedient employee and knight of the realm who died deeply in debt, predeceased by all but one of his children.He built racial segregation into his urban planning, but was also a staunch abolitionist.Renowned biographer Victoria Glendinning charts Raffles' prodigious rise in this new edition, specially updated for the bicentenary of the foundation of Singapore in 1819.His life was short, complicated and shot through with tragedy, but Raffles' fame lives on.

What is the difference between equal opportunity and equity of opportunity?
Equal opportunity refers to the idea that everyone should have the same chances and access to resources, regardless of their background or circumstances. On the other hand, equity of opportunity recognizes that not everyone starts from the same place and therefore may require different levels of support or resources to achieve the same opportunities. Equity of opportunity aims to level the playing field by addressing the systemic barriers and providing additional support to those who have been historically disadvantaged. In essence, while equal opportunity focuses on treating everyone the same, equity of opportunity focuses on ensuring that everyone has the same chance to succeed.
