Justice: An ideal or a pipedream? Attempt to define the word Justice. What is the most unjust event you can recall? What is an event that you think epitomizes justice? When is it ever right to act unjustly? Does justice exist outside of law? Compared to others is the U.S. just?

What type of society is best? Are large Urban societies preferable? Are less populated rural areas better? Is society itself not preferred?

How much power should government have over its people? Should the government have the right to draft people for war? Does the government have the power of life/death over its citizens? Is government ultimately just a newer version of rule of the strongest over the weak?

What structures/rules ought a society have to support Justice? “Remember when White people say ‘Justice’ they mean ‘just us’.” –African Proverb How should punishments be determined if a rule is broken? What is the role of punishments in a society? Do Laws make a difference? How? Why not?

What Human Rights should be guaranteed by society? Is not engaging in society a human right? Is education a right? If so, who should be ‘forced’ to provide/pay it (parents, gov’t, self)? What action/event has done the most for human rights in the past 50 years?
