1. Society operates by the individual
2. Efficient society: equal limits and treated subjectively
3. Even if everyone agrees with it everyone comes from an individual mind. It is still subjectively
4. conscious decision or choice. Objective from human mind
5. Right to distinguish life
6. Justice respecting the rights of other people idea of justice respecting everyones natural rights
7. objective truth exists in some way

What is justice?+Essay

For me justice is a mandatory punishment for deserving what people have done for their actions and mistakes. It is the fairness and equality everyone deserves and that should be followed from judicial rulings and what everyone must receive especially after breaking a law. There are many types of justice and an official hearing is important to be emphasized and the responsibilities that someone has down to be elaborated and taken into affect. Gender, nationality, or race has nothing to deal with the type of justice incorporated and "fairness" is the center basis. Justice simply is the law that is applied according to the way it was written, as the law is written to help one both sides of case.
