Social justice

Justice versus injustice is one of the biggest conflicts in this world as justice lacks one true definition. Socrates goes out to find the meaning of justice, but what he finds is a conflict where the unjust man is not always the loser. The unjust man can be better than the just man and the argument that the fair man is superior does not always hold up against injustice. Justice benefits the mass while injustice aids the individual. Controlling people is easier with justice. It allows…

God loves us, sent down His only Son, and gave us the Holy Spirit; we are called to use this as a lesson and to love one another as brothers and sisters under God. Catholic Social Teaching is a guide that teaches us and reminds us how to do so. There are seven distinct themes in Catholic Social Teaching…

If ancient Athenian society followed the conception of justice idolized by Rawls, would Socrates find himself in the predicament that he faced in Crito? The answer to that question, is absolutely not, because of how those principles are set. The first principle of Rawls states “Each person is to have an equal right . . . similar liberty for others.” This principle dealt with people’s liberty. These liberties were entitled to everyone and always remained. He believed basic liberties can be…

Justice is the word that keeps death penalty at its cue, wandering for a truth and what true justice can bring; right for the wrong and right for the right. Are the government officials the ones with the right solutions? Are we the one’s to validate true justice? I think not and I believe you know this already. Death penalty does not constitute a cruel or unusual punishment, actually it serves what some look as justice; the satisfaction of one’s need to abate death or harm that was imposed by…

Wisdom, courage, temperance, and justice each have a certain place where they thrive. These virtues are rigid, applying only to the certain social groups Socrates dictates and therefore strictly relate to certain parts of the soul. Although through most of The Republic, Socrates deals with building his city of speech; this thought exercises exists to answer the fundamental question of the work, namely what is justice?

The idea behind ruling on the bases of superior wisdom is something that sounds very appealing in nature. Especially when the idea revolves around giving power only to those that are willing to be open minded and pursue justice. However, there are problems that co-exist with this idea primarily because there is no division between power. This in return creates only one central power that can’t be properly challenged by the people, which indirectly oppresses them. That is why I completely…

Whether “it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird” or “not easy to send a boy off to die without talking about it first,” in an ideal justice system, all evidence must be examined without reasonable doubt (Lee, 119) (Rose, 12).
