Rawls' Difference Principle

Rawls' Difference Principle suggests that social and economic inequalities are acceptable only if they benefit the least advantaged members of society. In other words, any disparities in wealth, opportunities, or privileges should work to improve conditions for those who are worst off. This principle aims to create a fairer society by allowing inequalities, but only when they help improve the situation of the most disadvantaged, ensuring that social arrangements are just and equitable overall.
