Justice :Social

Definition of justice is "giving to each what he or she is due." But the problem is knowing what is "due".
Well,"justice" is a set of universal principles which guide people in judging what is right and what is wrong, no matter what culture and society they live in.


Social justice is the virtue which guides us in creating those organized human interactions we call institutions. In turn, social institutions, when justly organized, provide us with access to what is good for the person, both individually and in our associations with others. Social justice also imposes on each of us a personal responsibility to work with others to design and continually perfect our institutions as tools for personal and social development.


 In essence, social justice is concerned with equal justice, not just in the courts, but in all aspects of society. This concept demands that people have equal rights and opportunities; everyone, from the poorest person on the margins of society to the wealthiest deserves an even playing field.
