Justice

Justice refers to the principle of moral rightness and fairness that governs the distribution of rewards and punishments in society. It encompasses the ideals of equity, impartiality, and the appropriate treatment of individuals within a legal and ethical framework. Justice seeks to ensure that individuals receive what they are due, whether it be in terms of rights, resources, or legal consequences. It is a foundational concept in philosophy, law, and ethics, and often involves the enforcement of laws that protect individual rights and maintain social order. Justice can take various forms, including retributive justice (punishing wrongdoers), restorative justice (repairing harm and restoring relationships), and distributive justice (fair allocation of resources). The pursuit of justice is central to many social movements and legal systems around the world, aiming to uphold the dignity and worth of every individual.
