Response to Justice as Fairness

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING POST IN RESPOND IN 50 WORDS:

The idea of justice in society must always revolve around doing away with the biases and circumstances that create a difference in allocating resources and opportunities to the members of society. As Rawls puts it across in the "Two Principles of Justice" and the discussions around the "Veil of Ignorance" video, we can reduce the influence caused by biases and the individual circumstances on how distribution of resources and opportunities to achieve societal justice. The first principle from Rawls about liberty is one way to achieve justice as it creates equal fundamental rights with each individual having freedom (Garg). Second, as per Rawls, the different principle emphasizes that social and economic inequality could be structured to elevate the vulnerable people in society. According to him, there will be an equitable distribution of resources in applying this principle (Garg). On the other hand, the veil of ignorance ensures that no individual in an organization feels to be in a position of authority over another (McCombs School of Business). This way, the decisions affect the members of such an organization equitably.

There is a significant influence of biases and experiences of individuals on the subject of societal justice. Rawls' proposals aim to reduce these two's effects on undermining the justice of individuals born in less advantaged families and backgrounds (Garg). From Rawls's perspective, justice is a challenging concept that requires an all-hands-on-deck initiative to ensure the less advantaged get their share of resources.

Actualizing Rawls' ideas needs to be clarified. However, his ideas have continually been shaping the corridors of justice, ensuring equality and fairness to some extent, even though not absolute. By adopting policies and establishing institutions to address the differences in the social classes, society has a real chance of achieving Rawlsian justice (Garg). Society has to balance individual rights and collective responsibility to achieve a certain extent of justice.
