Presentation transcript:

What is Justice? Mrs. Pelletier English 3

Moral Principles The Hardin v. Singer debate revealed at least two moral principles: Consequentialist reasoning: the right/moral thing to do depends on the consequences that will result from your action (the state of the world that will result from the thing you do) Categorical reasoning: locates morality in certain duties/rights (absolute rights regardless of the consequences) Consequentialist: Hardin more people will die if we help individual (society WILL be worse off) Consequentialist: Singer more people will live NOW (better state of the world in the present) Categorical: Singer human life is invaluable; can never use people as means to an end (all people may die, but at least we’ll be moral)

Example: Price Gouging Arguments against price gouging laws: Markets promote the welfare of society as a whole by providing incentives for people to work hard supplying the goods that other people want Markets respect individual freedom; rather than impose a certain value on goods and services, markets let people choose for themselves what value to place on the things they exchange Argument for price gouging laws: Welfare of society is not served by the exorbitant prices charged in hard times; the benefit to those who provide the goods must e weighed against the burden to those who have to pay the prices Price gouging promotes greed, which is a vice, and is at odds with civic virtue (a good society pulls together in difficult times) Hurricane Charley swept across Florida in 2004. Claimed at least 22 lives and caused $11 billion in damage. Price gouging: selling $2 bags of ice for $10, small generators went from $250 to $2000, tree removal from house roof $23,000.

Justice: What is the right thing to do? Definitions of justice revolve around 3 ideas: Promoting welfare Respecting freedom Promoting virtue

Your Definition of Justice On a separate sheet of paper, write AT LEAST one well-developed paragraph defining what justice means. Make sure to include at least 2 clear examples that illustrate and support your definition.
