Justice

Justice, in the context of ethics, refers to the idea of fairness and moral rightness in how individuals and groups are treated. It involves principles that guide us in determining what is equitable, ensuring that people receive their due, whether through rewards, punishments, or rights. Normative ethics examines these principles, asking questions like: What is fair treatment? How should we distribute resources? Justice seeks to establish moral standards that promote societal harmony and address inequalities, ultimately striving for a balance between individual rights and the collective good.
