What do I believe about Justice?

Justice




What is Justice? Justice can be defined in many ways. It can be defined as right ruling in case like in the Supreme Court, or it can be defined as service done to those who have been wronged. People don’t usually know how to just flat out say what justice is. Because justice isn’t one of those things that is just black and white, no one really can define justice as one thing. I’m pretty sure even if you go find a dictionary and look up the definition of justice that not everyone would agree on that definition. Justice is one of those things that tries to separate right and wrong, when in reality no one knows what is truly wrong and what is truly right. Because to face the fact no one is like how they’re perceived in movies, no one’s fully bad or evil, but no one’s completely good either.
 Justice as my teacher was talking about just a few moments ago could be just justifying why something is the way it is, or why you wear something the way you wear it. Like Decartes said, “I think; therefore, I am” So to justify why you might wear the hat the way you do you could justify it multiple ways. You can justify your reasons by saying you do it the way you do because your mom or government or authority has always made you wear it or do it. You could also justify it by saying the way you wear or do the things you do is because a majority or people do it, like a democracy, or peer pressure. Peer pressure is a really big thing when you are talking about trends or doing what you do. Because everyone wants to do what the “popular” kids are doing.
 Another way to justify the way you do something is to say it is a part of a tradition. Like how we always have a really long summer break. There really is no purpose to it anymore, but I guess the only reason we do it is because we’ve been doing it since forever. Back in the day America, or well The United States of America was one of the first places establish a public school system, but we were also the ones back in the day the ones who provided and supported Great Britain with all of its supplies. So because we had to provide Great Britain with all of its supplies in the agricultural department, The United States of America became a farming place. A place where pretty much everyone would farm. So while the students were in school it would only be the parents mending to the farms, but when the produce product picked up during the summer the children would have to go home for about two to three months to help their parents out with the crops and everything. The last way or the last way I could think of is rationality. Which I use a lot to get my point by. To use rationality just state your ways of doing the things you are doing the way you want and justify it any way possible, I think that’s the simplest way and the way that most people justify things.
