What I expect to learn?
I expect to learn about theory of justice and how it reflects to the society.
Quote:
“Rawls’s theory states that there are two principles of justice: The first principle involves equal basic liberties, and the second principle concerns the arrangement of social and economic inequalities.”
Review:
Justice is said to be in cooperation with fairness. They want to tell us that justice is being fair or the same as fair. We want to cooperate with each other respect each other to gain fairness. We are the one to choose what we think is justice for us we want something that will let us feel that is fair. Each person has its own preference and interest on knowing what is right and good and in which they find satisfaction and justice for themselves. It is said that justice requires equality in the assignment of basic rights and duties and other one is social and economic inequalities. We may view our society as equality in terms of having the right and responsibilities on doing the right thing but on the other side there is inequality on wealth and authority of citizen. This falls on the conflict of justice as fairness. Every person has the equal rights on the other side social and economic inequalities are made for the people’s advantage. The distribution of wealth is under the authority and responsibility by command. Everything is for having the benefit. Whether it is social economic or wealth we all want to find justice for having the right choice to make and satisfaction.
