What I expect to learn?

I expect to learn about justice as moral theory.

Quote:

“Baier argues that the justice perspective by itself is inadequate as a moral theory. It overlooks inequalities between people, it has an unrealistic view of freedom of choice, and it ignores the importance of moral emotions such as love.”

Review:

Justice is important social values that can injustice an evil. We do justice for our own sake because we fight for the right decision. Rights had been the privileged. We do the right thing in order to protect others and recognize the law. There are moral rights between people as such difference between a man and a woman. Woman at home has their duty as a wife and a man has its own duty as a husband. A wife usually does the household choirs and the man is to give support to the family. The children are to be taken care of to become respective adults. These have been the usual responsibilities. Citizens have their own right to what they become and it has already been ever since. Justice is also in cooperating with virtue. People have its own intellectual perspective and that is the one who control and have their own will as citizens. Moral theory has to be under the women and men to bind together harmoniously in justice and care. The union of men and women can give a wisdom and understanding to each other to teach each other moral skills that will reflect to their personality.
