Recommended: Importance of justice in state or society

Citizens are what make up colonies and communities. Citizens are people living there and that make up that community/colonies. There many different people in communities, but there is only three types of them. Like the justice oriented citizen were they strive to do what's right, the participatory citizen that participates in things that help the community, or the personally responsible citizen who respects others and themselves in the community. To kick start everything off, justice oriented citizens, as I said strive to do what right like Cesar Chavez. He started a 25 day hunger strike against grape growers. I think that this type of citizen is great to have in the lunar colony because they could eliminate unfair laws and just make the community fair for everyone. Justice oriented citizens look at the root of a problem while a personally responsible citizen would donate a coat to a coat drive , the justice oriented citizen would try and find out why people in the community are homeless and try to help at the source of that problem. They try to find out ways they can make their community better than it already is. Like by making petitions, going on strikes, or …show more content…

These types of citizen are also amazing to have in the colony because if a someone starts a blood drive many of the participatory citizen would join because they want to help their community, if we want to make a good change to lunar colony later then these types of citizens would be a great help for that! These citizens could help us open so many possibilities like get funds to fix schools give to the homeless and more. The relative amount for participatory citizens in the lunar colony out of 1 million people would be 200,000. The reason is for their dedication to make their community

    Citizenship is the fiber that unites all Americans. We are a nation connected not by race or religion, but by shared values of freedom, liberty, and equality. What does that exactly signify to the average American citizen? It indicates that several of us, including myself, have not only expressed several of our rights such as freedom to express ourselves, freedom to worship as we wish, voting in elections, serving on a jury or purchasing or owning a firearm but we aspire to protect those rights.

  • What makes a good American Citizen?

    Good Citizenship is something that is valued by a country. Although not normally noticed or recognized, good citizenship can come in many forms and can be very beneficial to a specified area. Good Citizenship could mean many different things but ultimately good citizenship promotes prosperity, and increases the well-being of said region. In this country we do have government officials, but they only can do so much, and reach so far, in this country you need to focus on "...Not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" (Kennedy). This means pulling your own weight and not relying solely on these officials and their policies, to get out and try to make this country the best it can be. Which is why through the use of the educatory school system in the United States and through obeying laws of their city/state or nation, and also through the practice of Volunteer work/charity the average American citizen can become above-average and awesome (in every sense of the word) and can also develop into a righteous, upstanding, convivial citizen.

    Commonsense justice and jury instructions are placed together to exemplify the informative and the response between the two; like the “analytic and beneficial”. Conjoining these two objectives, gives them “instructive potential for the law;” with the verdicts of not guilty, or hung juries, and jury nullification. These two objectives are “more likely the failure of jury instructions,” [slightly] than the “failings of jurors.”” (Norman J. Finkel, 2000).

    How do we define justice? The dictionary defines it with words like righteousness and fairness. Often times when we hear the word justice, or hear about an unjust situation, we have an instinctual reaction. We all know what justice is, even without a dictionary definition. Justice is a virtue, justice is doing the right thing. But how can we define justice if it is doing what we individually think is the right thing to do?

  • Justice for All Ages

    4906 Words  | 10 Pages

    The question of “What is Justice?” plagued the ancient philosophers and continues to plague the professional and amateur academic philosophers of today. The question is so hard, because it is quite difficult to know where to begin. Socrates1 spoke of justice in relation to the gods, Plato in relation to an individual’s duty in society, and Achilles, in a somewhat indirect way, in relation to honor and loyalty. All three of these men had very convincing arguments about the true nature of justice, but it is impossible to say now, or most likely ever, whether any of them actually got it right. The current goal is to synthesize their ideas with those of Aristophanes, Euripides2, and even Richard Kraut, representing the modern academic philosopher, in an effort to further develop and test the concept of justice.

    The ideal society we would all be considered equal, but reality often defies this idealism. When we think of police officers, we think of people working hard to keep us all safe, but this may not always be the case in today 's society. This is demonstrated in an opinion piece published in the Miami Herald, entitled “Need a ‘big, bad dude’? White criminals need not apply” by Leonard Pitts Jr. The article opens by discussing the shooting of African-American man Terence Crutcher, where the police officer who shot him stated it was due to him not obeying her orders and reaching inside his SUV for a weapon. However, the video of the shooting shows that this did not happen. The article also goes on to discuss other African-Americans shot in recent

    Liberal philosopher, John Rawls, has been credited as being one of the largest contributors to the field of social justice of the twentieth century. In his book `Justice as Fairness', Rawls describes his views on the issue of justice in a social sense and outlines the major features of his theory of justice. From his discussions on this topic, one could derive a legitimate assumption of how Rawls' would apply his views on justice to the question of how we should respond to poverty, this I have done in the final segment of my essay.

  • The Possibility of Justice for All

    804 Words  | 2 Pages

    Can there be justice for all? To answer this question I must first define what justice is. Justice is ?the quality of being just, impartial or fair? in your dealings with others according to Merriam Webster?s Collegiate Dictionary. Keeping that definition in mind, I now must turn to the Voices of Wisdom in order to find an example of a situation in which all parties feel that they are being treated justly. After examining examples such as: Euthanasia, discrimination based on sexual orientation, and equal opportunity offered within the book, it becomes clear to me that there is in fact no possible way for there to be justice for all because everyone?s judgement is in some way or another clouded by their own self interests.
