What is Justice?

What is Justice? Do you know? What is the best way to find out? How do you find the best definition for justice?

This is approximately a 25 minute video of a research experiment that is posted in the Counter-Racism Work Study Project entitled The Best Word To Use. This is not the full video of the briefing discussions, research experimentation, and de-briefing discussions that took place.

Why do we so commonly accept justice for the taking of life as death by lethal injection or electric chair or rather life in federal confinement? Does that bring about true peace for all parties?

Also, would you agree that there have to be prerequisites in order for "justice" to exist? like absolute unity before justice? our main goal is to acquire "peace" right?

And, has dominant religion(s) brought forth more good than harm; does that account for the genocide of 10million+ people?

I define justice as "guaranteeing no person is mistreated and also guaranteeing the person who needs help the most get the most help".

There is no correct religion. Religion can only be measured byt he behavior of the people who practice and no person says and/or does the correct thing all the time.

Humans would practice the correct religion. In other words, there are no humans on this planet. People do not treat each other humanely. We mistreat each other and allow each other to be mistreated. There is nothing correct about that.

but what if justice falls short of reaching those in need of it. how will you guarantee it then?

according to your philosophy, is everyone entitled and fully capable of providing justice or just bodies of authority?

[ewilliams13]

Justice is guaranteeing no person is mistreated and also guaranteeing the person who needs help the most get the most help. If every person in the known universe cannot guarantee this then you have non-justice...which is exactly what we have right now.

typical white people response but everyone else should pay even though they were not involved (iraq,afghanstan) as long as it not them.. they do not know what it is because justice is not in them..

and this is not concerning race. just our existence as humans of earth.

you are so right on that.

Mr. King stated Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. Why? There's no way to keep it from spreading. It is like having only a part of a swimming pool you can urinate in. There is no way to keep it from spreading.

You either have justice or you don't.

White people don't say they are part white. They just say they are white. That is what non-white people say.

Which part of you is white and which part of you is not white?
