Justice can be defined in many different ways. Sandle defines justice in three categories, maximizing welfare, freedom with respect for individual rights and virtue. He explains maximizing welfare with the utilitarian approach as the greatest happiness for the greatest number, if an action will produce the most happiness for the bigger number of people it will be just. Next, he looks at freedom, which the idea that justice means respecting certain universal human rights and lastly, virtue which is identified with cultural conservatives and the religious rights (Sandel, 2009). Justice to me can be defined as an innate fairness that every human is entitled to. We will take a closer look as Sandel mentioned, into respecting certain universal human

The documentary film, Bottled Life by Swiss filmmaker Urs Schnell and journalist Res Gehriger, provides an insight on the Nestle companies and their CEO Peter Brabeck. Bhati Dilwan had their drinking wells that had a high water table and the village did not need to worry about their access to water. Once Nestle moved into Bhati Dilwan, they put their machinery deeper than the villagers well pumps would go, and started to remove that water for their bottling factory. The villager’s free water was being stolen from them and placed in bottles, just to be sold back to the villagers for an outrageous price. CEO Brabeck was recorded saying “access to water should not be a public right”, this is not right (Samson, 2013). As the Minimalist would agree, all humans should have the basic rights to survive in life; water, food, and shelter (Sandel, …show more content…
Many diseases and parasites live in the unsanitary and dirty water. Nine out of 10 individuals that get sick from dirty water are children, most common diseases are; rotavirus, Campylobacter jejuni, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, Shigella spp. and Vibrio cholerae O1 (Ashbolt, 229–238), there are many more diseases that may be present in poor drinking water but these are the main diseases. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), rotavirus is a very contagious virus that causes inflammation of the stomach and intestines. The symptoms include; watery diarrhea, vomiting, fever and stomach pain. Campylobacter jejuni is a disease that will cause diarrhea with sever abdominal pains and with people with a weak immune system, it may enter the blood stream and cause death (CDC, 2004). Enterotoxigenic escherichia coli (ETEC) is a major cause of diarrheal disease in lower-income countries, especially among children. ETEC normally transferred by food or water contaminated with animal or human feces (CDC, 2004). Shigella spp. causes diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps and is passed very easily even when symptoms are not present (CDC, 2004). Vibrio cholerae O1 can cause epidemic cholera (server diarrheal) if they also produce the cholera toxin (CDC, 2004). All of these most common diseases have one thing in common, diarrheal. It is typical for villages with no clean water source to use the nearest
