Law and Justice
Law and Justice
the system of rules which a particular country or community recognizes as regulating the actions of its
members and which it may enforce by the imposition of penalties.
What is Justice?
Justice is a concept of moral rightness based ethics, rationality, law, natural law, religion, equity and
fairness, as well as the administration of the law, taking into account the inalienable and inborn rights of all
human beings and citizens, the right of all people and individuals to equal protection before the law of their
civil rights, without discrimination on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national
origin, colour, ethnicity, religion, disability, age, wealth, or other characteristics.
SOCIAL JUSTICE
• A THEORY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE INVOLVES APPLYING THE PRINCIPLES OF
JUSTICE TO THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL OPPORTUNITIES OR OUTCOMES IN A
GIVEN SOCIETY.
• THIS LEADS TO THE IDEA THAT SOCIAL WELFARE SHOULD BE PROVIDED (BY
THE STATE IN MANY COUNTRIES) FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT, AT A LEVEL
DEFINED DIFFERENTLY IN DIFFERENT PLACES.
• SOCIAL JUSTICE IS BASED ON THE CONCEPT THAT A STATE HAS
RESPONSIBILITIES TO ITS CITIZENS, AND CAN FUND THOSE RESPONSIBILITIES
BY LEVYING TAXATION AT A LEVEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE MEMBERS OF THAT
SOCIETY, WHICH AGAIN VARIES FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY. ‘FAIR
DISTRIBUTION’ IS, OF COURSE, INHERENTLY CONTESTABLE.
POLITICAL JUSTICE
• A THEORY OF POLITICAL JUSTICE INVOLVES APPLYING THE PRINCIPLES OF
JUSTICE TO THE BASIC POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS, THE CONSTITUTIONAL
ORDER, OF SOCIETY.
• THE STATE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LEVEL OF SOCIAL JUSTICE AND THE
RULES OF LEGAL JUSTICES, USUALLY BASED ON THE DOMINANT POLITICAL
CULTURE AND IDENTITY.
GLOBALISATION
• What is globalisation?
• Globalization means the speedup of movements and exchanges (of human beings, goods, and services, capital,
technologies or cultural practices) all over the planet. One of the effects of globalization is that it promotes
and increases interactions between different regions and populations around the globe.
• WHO defines Globalisation as “the increased interconnectedness and interdependence of peoples and
countries. It is generally understood to include two inter-related elements: the opening of international borders
to increasingly fast flows of goods, services, finance, people and ideas; and the changes in institutions and
policies at national and international levels that facilitate or promote such flows.”
• The movement towards the expansion of economic and social ties between countries through the spread of
corporate institutions and the capitalist philosophy that leads to the shrinking
of the world in economic terms.
