When trying to define justice you need to look at the moral perspective of right and wrong, but also at how society views right and wrong. One definition of justice is “the judgment involved in determining rights and assigning rewards and punishments” (wordnetweb.princeton.edu). In seeking to understand justice, it is also important to understand human nature and how it responds to injustice. People tend to want revenge or punishment for a crime committed against them. They believe the law should do this by establishing the rules, determining guilt, and then setting the appropriate punishment. Often problems or conflicts arise when the offender never understands the consequences of his actions or the victim does not agree with the punishment. Justice cannot just be about punishment without acknowledging responsibility for the harm that has been done, so that society or the individual can restore themselves and begin to heal. In the book Rethinking Justice by Richard H. Bell, the author seems to define justice as a testimony to our humanity, seeing it as promoting personal well-being and a virtuous life and supporting community reconciliation (Bell 1,2). It's hard to verify exactly what Bell is trying to say, as there is a lot of emphasis on other writers. The overall theme gives the impression that Bell feels the need to promote a more compassionate and merciful type of judgment towards individuals and humanity. On the other hand, C.S. Lewis in the book Mere Christianity has the view of justice as a virtue described as fairness, which includes honesty, give and take, truthfulness and keeping promises. Similar to Bell, it's not just about the law or the legal system (The...... half of the paper ......focused on more than just opinion or moral values ​​of right and wrong Any justice system cannot account for every situation, but serving and meeting the needs of society through trust, compassion, harmony and respect seems like a reasonable course of action to improve humanity ” not out of duty or obligation can sometimes be difficult. The outcome of a decision could be rewarded or there could be dire consequences. The fight for justice can only be found by seeking understanding beyond our reality. Richard H.
