1

• Justice and fairness are essentially comparative.
  They are concerned with the comparative treatment
  given to the members of a group when benefits and
  burdens are distributed.

2

• Greater benefits for some cannot justify
  injustices for others. Nevertheless, we also seem
  to hold that if the social gains are sufficiently
  large, a certain level of injustice may be
  legitimately tolerated.

3

• Issues involving justice and fairness are usually
  divided into three categories- distributive
  justice, retributive justice, and compensatory
  justice.

4
Distributive justice

• -The central issue is the scarcity of
  benefits-such as jobs, food, housing, medical
  care, income, and wealth.
• The fundamental principle of distributive justice
  is that equals should be treated equally and
  unequals should be treated unequally.

5
Justice as Equality Egalitarianism

• According to an egalitarian all benefits and
  burdens should be divided equally.
• Every person should be given exactly equal
  shares of a societys or a groups benefits and
  burdens.

6
Justice Based on Contribution Capitalist Justice

• Benefits should be distributed according to the
  value of the contribution the individual makes to
  a society, a task a group, or an exchange.

7
Justice Based on Needs and Abilities Socialism

• Work burdens should be distributed according to
  peoples abilities, and benefits should be
  distributed according to peoples needs.

8
Justice of Freedom Libertarianism

• From each according to what he chooses to do,
  to each according to what he makes for himself
  (perhaps with the contracted aid of others) and
  what others choose to do for him and choose to
  give him of what theyve been given previously
  (under this maxim) and havent yet expended or
  transferred.

Justice of Fairness Rawls

•  
• The distribution of benefits and burdens in a
  society is just if and only if
• Each person has an equal right to the most
  extensive basic liberties compatible with similar
  liberties for all (principle of equal liberty).

10

• 2. Social and economic liberties are arranged so
  that they are both
• To the greatest benefit of the least advantaged
  persons( the difference principle), and
• b.Attached to offices and positions open to all
  under conditions of fair equality of opportunity(
  The principle of equal opportunity).

II- Retributive Justice

  persons for doing wrong.
