Essentially, “justice is the quality of being impartial, fair, and just” (Pollsky, 2012, p.53). Furthermore, the act of being just comes from the Latin word “jus” which translates to matters involving laws or rules (Pollsky, 2012, p.53). There are three types of justice, and each differs based on circumstances: first, distributive justice attempts to ensure equality for each individual; corrective justice attempts to reverse an unfair advantage, provide a remedy to the problem, and show equality within the population; finally, mutual justice provides the notion of equality between goods freely exchanged between individuals. According to Aristotle, distributive justice incorporates the allocation of resources within society (Aristotle, trans Wd Ross, 1994). These resources may include education, profession, honor, status, money, or property (Pollsky, 2012, p. 54). There are several theories that describe various methods for implementing distributive justice, including the ideas of need, desert, and right. These ideas work to achieve the goal of justice which is equality and fairness within society. However, the reason this is not the most important form of justice is that it is too narrow in scope. A quick look at history can provide many examples of unfair and unfair treatment with distributive ideals. Even today, in our country, we can see many perceived flaws in this type of justice. Occupy Wall Street began as a protest movement that sought to ensure equality in pay for all citizens, not just those lucky enough to be born or reach the top 1%. The common adage that is used very frequently is “the rich get richer and the poor get poorer”. This could very well be perceived as...... middle of paper...... time is worth the payment he can get up and leave without fear of any punishment. In conclusion, if the most important function of the three types of justice is to uphold justice, then corrective justice is the most important. Seek to correct mistakes and end unfair advantages. As for the distributive form of justice, it does not seek to spread equality; from this comes equality. Corrective justice guarantees fairness and impartiality even to those who are unjust, partial and unjust. We try to find the right solution. With respect to mutual justice, it does not depend on contractual arrangements in which equality is perceived by the individual in a trade-based system; its basis of equality is inherent and rooted in its foundation. Therefore, among the three forms of justice, I believe corrective justice is the most important.
