Fairness as Justice

Fairness as justice means treating people in a way that is equitable and reasonable, ensuring everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed. It involves recognizing individual differences and circumstances, and applying rules consistently to prevent bias or favoritism. Fairness aims to promote moral rightness by balancing needs and rights, so outcomes are just and respectful of each person’s dignity. It’s about fostering a community where fairness guides decision-making, reducing unfair advantages and disadvantages, and supporting trust and cooperation among individuals and groups.
