NOTE

TYPES OF JUSTICE

1. Distributive justice, which is concerned with giving all members of

society a "fair share" of the benefits and resources available. Arbiters can

play a key role in making sure that resources are allocated fairly.

2. Procedural justice, which is concerned with making and implementing

decisions according to fair processes that ensure "fair treatment." Arbiters

should make sure that their decision-making criteria are unbiased, and are

applied in a consistent and reliable way. This makes it easier for parties to

accept the arbiter's solution, even if it is one that rules against them.

3. Retributive justice, which is grounded in the notions of merit and

dessert. The central idea is that the offender has gained unfair advantages

through his or her behavior, and that punishment will set this imbalance

straight. Arbiters often play an important role in reinforcing rules that have

been broken, and balancing the scales of justice.

4. Restorative justice, which seeks to heal crime victims' wounds, restore

offenders to law-abiding lives, and repair harm done to interpersonal

relationships and the community. Arbiters at the community level often play

a role in determining the active steps that offenders should take to make

reparations to their victims

 

IMPORTANCE OF JUSTICE

1. It assures personal and communal security
2. It protects and ensures people from various forms of societal

discrimination.

3. It promotes fairness and equity across many aspects of society

 

IMPORTANCE OF VALUES

1. Values help to inform your thoughts, actions and beliefs.
2. Values help you be authentic
3. Values help us to conduct ourselves properly in a variety of social

Settings

4. It helps us to resist conforming to values we do not appreciate or that are

not good
