John Rawls' 'A Theory of Justice'
[ send me this essay ]
An 11 page paper discussing Rawls' system of justice, which must be based on the least advantaged individual in the society. That one claiming unfairness in justice obviously becomes the least advantaged. That individual then provides the basis for the system of justice no longer being fair, and policy makers are obliged to withdraw once more behind the 'veil of ignorance' in order to accommodate the individual and his changing society. The paper also provides background on the philosophy of Kant and Mill, who provides the framework of utilitarianism that Rawls reshapes into his theory of justice. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

John Rawls’ Theories of Social Justice and Human Rights and Their Applications to Issues in Today’s Society
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 20 page paper discussing the political philosophies of John Rawls and their applications in today’s society. The political philosophies of John Rawls have included the aspects of theories of justice, justice as fairness, and political liberalism which are all used in the moral rights of citizens and the structure of society to provide social justice and equal human rights. Within the structure of society, Rawls believes that representatives from every generation should be allowed to bargain for an agreement of principles in societies but must all agree on two major principles: one, that each person has the absolute right to basic liberties and freedoms; and, two that social and economic inequalities can occur with fair competition but the inequalities must always benefit the least advantaged in society. Although Rawls has received some criticism on his philosophies over the years, largely because he does not stipulate which ends are to be met in society but only the process which must take place in the bargaining aspect of social justice, his theories have been used in relation to many modern issues including the fight for the rights of minorities, women, religious tolerance, sexual preference, family issues and special education. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

John Rawls, Justice & Affirmative Action
[ send me this essay ]
A 6 page research paper that explores issues of economic distributive justice. Throughout its history, human societies have addressed issues of justice. While it is agreed that societies should be just, precisely what this means has been a matter of much debate. A particularly contentious sub-category of this argument has been in regards as to what constitutes economic justice, that is, "the proper distribution of social benefits and burdens" (Shaw and Barry, 2004, p. 105). In this regard, a variety of rival principles have been proposed. Examination of these various theories shows that the "Theory of Justice" outlined by John Rawls offers a comprehensive and fair framework for distributive economic justice. This is particularly evident when examined in light of affirmative action and equal employment opportunities. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

John Rawls, Principle of Liberty
[ send me this essay ]
An 8 page research paper that examines John Rawls' principle of liberty, which states that each individual should have a right to the "greatest equal liberty compatible with a like liberty for all" (Honderich, et al, 1995, p. 745). This principle is part of the liberal philosophy that Rawls outlined in his book A Theory of Justice (1971). The writer argues that the paradigm for formulating public policy that Rawls presents in his landmark text is generally referred to as his "justice as fairness" model. This theory of justice is a complex, yet well-defined, framework that suggests principles by which a state can formulate public policy so as to make a positive impact in regards to redistributive justice. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
