Topic: JUSTICE AND FAIRNESS by Rawls CRITIQUE of Rawl’s Principles:  Criticism plays a vital role in making someone’s work improve and be successful. It shows that an intent or purpose of something in a better sense.  The principle does not tolerate religious beliefs that teaches their followers that men and women are unequal.  Rawls Difference is also a controversial find. It states that the greatest benefit must go to the least advantage. For the distribution of wealth, Rawl’s principles didn’t agree in equal distribution to the very least people of society. DISTRIBUTIVE JUSTICE - A concept that concerns the nature of a socially just allocation of goods in a society that includes the available quantities of goods, the process by which goods are distributed and the subsequent allocation of the goods to society member. (People should be given equal opportunities and access like basic needs. It must be distributed equally) Norm- a principle of right action binding upon the members of a group and control serving to guide, control or regulate proper and acceptable behavior - Right action to guide, control and accept behavior of the society, 5 Common Types of Distributive Norms 1. Equality- sameness/ state of being equal in status, right and opportunities. (Free Education) 2. Equity- fairness/ quality of being fair. (earns fairly depend on what you’ve done) 3. Power- norm at play when the authority is receiving more compare to the members of the group 4. Need- when the goods are distributed to the members of a group who needs it the most.

5. Responsibility- when the abundant members of the group shares their resources. State and Citizens Responsibility TAXATION - The most important source of revenue of the government - These taxes are collected to use as a finance to the expenditure of the government. INCLUSIVE GROWTH - Economic growth that created opportunity for all segments of the population and distributes the dividends of increased prosperity both in monetary and non monetary terms, fairly across society. - The gap between rich and poor has enlarged. - Increasing inequality in earnings and in wealth. Recognizing this concerns will result in more arguments that would raise awareness John Rawls- professor in Philosophy in Harvard University ETHICS, JUSTICE AND FAIRNESS -Rose catches his main ideas vision in the so sheltered prediction of Locke, Rousseau and Kant -This stretches that justice fairness has two types of Principles: 1. Liberty Principle - every individual has an equal right to basic liberties - “certain rights and freedoms are more important or basic than others” -each person has an equal right to a fully adequate scheme of equal basic liberties. 2. Equality Principle

subcategories a. Fair Quality of Opportunity - maintains that offices and positions. Should be open to any individual regardless of his or her social background, ethnicity or sex. b. Difference Principle - broke, mental, abandoned, unintelligent, least favored

Role of Justice: - Justice is the first virtue of social institutions. - Each person possess an inviolability founded on justice that even the welfare or society as a whole cannot override. - Justice denies that whenever someone losses freedom, a greater good is made right by others. Therefore the equality for each citizen are taken as settled. Thought of Ignorance - Veil of ignorance people they would be ignorant of the society from which they came from o Veil of Ignorance would not know their own age, sex, race, social class and other capabilities. Rawls focused on how to create a society that was just and fair what ideas did Rawls have to create a fair Society 2 PRINCIPLES OF JUSTICE

Distributive Justice Justice as equality - The belief that everyone should get the same kind and amount of stuff.

Need-Based Justice - Everyone shouldn’t get the same, because our needs aren’t the same. Merit-Based Justice - Justice actually means giving unequally, based on what each person deserves.

- Rawls argued that Justice is fairness - Justice is any inequalities that exist in a social system, should favor the least well-off, because this level the playing field of society. Need-based Justice that focuses specifically on making sure that everyone is actually in a position to achieve their basic needs. - Rawls reasoned that the world is full of natural inequalities. - Rawls sense of justice means correcting for those disadvantages that are beyond our control.

There are some who argue that Justice-is-fairness is actually unfair to those who have gotten the most-either through hard work, because they happened to win life’s natural lottery.

Robert Nozick - He disagree the idea of rawls that justice-is-fairness. A negative right is the right not to be interfered with, not to be stopped from pursuing the things you need. Positive Rights – If you have a positive right to something, you are entitled to help getting it, if you can’t get it yourself. Justice is not just about stuff but also about punishment. Restributive Justice

- the only way for justice to be satisfied is for a wrong doer to suffer in proportion to the way he’s made others suffer. https://wallpaperaccess.com/law-and-justice
