Distributive justice

We as people expect to be treated justly and with fairness. There are many principles that are found within the principle of distributive justice. One of those principles, it the principle of equality. In this case all benefits of healthcare are to be distributed equally among individuals. It can be argued that distributing healthcare equally among individuals will benefit everyone, but in the case above, does the basic healthcare policy benefit the patient? In addition, there is the principle of need. This principle is part of the principle of equality. For individuals that have less, this principle states that they should receive more than the individual or individuals that have more than them. This policy can be argued in this case. This individual cannot pay for the surgery and has the basic health care policy. Based on the principle of need, this individual should receive more than the individuals that have more than them. The principle of distributive justice helps us to analyze the right to health care and the right to equal opportunity. Based on this principle, all individuals should receive healthcare and they should receive healthcare based on their needs. If a person has less they should get more and vice…

and it will continue to assist the medical expert when they are face with a dilemma. Additionally, ethics will continue to play a role in implementing policy to guide the health care industry to serve all men fairly with respect and dignity and to teach the staff how to behave ethically. Even in a for profit hospital, ethics would be a necessity in order to make life or death decision. I cannot image any business including the health care industry making decisions without the guide of ethics.…

The principle of distributive justice is anchored on the foundation that human person is created in the image and likeness of God-Imago Dei (Gen 1:26); and based on this human nature, the human person possesses the universal and inalienable rights. These universal and inalienable rights also serve as justification for people and individual communities to demand for what could make their lives more meaningful in terms of provision of basic necessities of life. Hence, it is the constitutional duty…

one that I have ever committed. Civil disobedience is a fracture within the law therefore there must a relishable reason to be disobedient.

The situation of dealing with the team members was hectic with some members not showing any intents of improving or performing as expected in the organization. The major issue that surrounded the situation is perceived inequity among the…

Social Justice McKenna in his book, A Concise Guide to Catholic Social Teaching, stresses equal opportunities of all members of society in his description of social justice. He says that it is achieved “when people are giving opportunities to be active and productive participants in the life of society as part of their obligations, which is also the duty of the society to do so” (39). Chukwujekwu agrees with McKenna, but explains further that this aspect of justice deals more with “economic,…
