Understanding Justice
Unlock Audio Lesson
Today, we're diving into the concept of justice. Justice is fundamentally about fairness and ensuring that individuals get what they deserve. Can anyone tell me what they think justice means?
I think justice means treating people fairly and giving them what they deserve.

Components of Justice

Justice has four main components: recognition, fulfillment, evaluation, and mutual happiness. Let’s break these down. Who can explain what recognition means?
Recognition is about acknowledging everyone as individuals and treating them with respect.
Spot on! And fulfilling mutual expectations means we should address the needs of others too. Can anyone give an example of this?
In a friendship, if both sides have expectations, fulfilling them helps maintain the bond.

Justice vs. Law
Unlock Audio Lesson
Let’s compare justice with the law. While the law comprises imposed rules, justice stems from our values and relationships. Can someone explain why this distinction is important?
I think it's important because laws can sometimes be unfair, but justice aims for fairness in what we do to one another.
That's a clear insight! Laws can regulate order, but only justice can truly create harmony in society. Remember this difference as we move forward.
