What are three principles of justice? |
| Answer» Equal Treatment of Equals:\t\tThis indicates the principle of treating people equally.\t\t\tAll individuals share certain characteristics as human beings. Therefore, they deserve to be treated equally and provided with equal rights.\t\t\tIt includes civil rights like right to life, liberty and property, political rights like right to vote and social rights related to equal social opportunities.\t\t\tIt also prohibits discrimination on the grounds of class, caste, gender and race.\t\t\tFor example, two individuals from different backgrounds should be paid same reward for the same kind of job.\tProportionate justice:\t\tThis principle indicates rewarding people in proportion to the scale and quality of their effort.\t\t\tIt is just to reward different jobs differently on the basis of efforts and skills required and the danger involved.\t\t\tThus, proportionality provides balance to the principle of equal treatment.\t\t\tThe reward and compensation for a surgeon and an architect varies according to the skill that is required in their job.\tRecognition of Special Needs:\t\tThis principle is based on distributing rewards and duties on the basis of special needs of people.\t\t\tOn the basis of factors such as age, physical disabilities and lack of access to good education or health care, special treatment is given in many countries.\t\t\tPeople with special needs or disabilities are treated unequal in some particular respect and therefore are provided with some deserving and special help.\t\t\tA physically challenged person getting a reserved seat in bus is an example of principle of recognition of special needs.\t | |
