Justice refers to the principle of moral rightness based on ethics, rationality, law, fairness, and equity. It encompasses the idea of giving individuals what they are due, whether in terms of punishment, reward, or rights. Justice aims to ensure that individuals receive fair treatment and that their rights are upheld within a societal framework. It often involves the impartial application of laws and the pursuit of truth in matters regarding disputes and wrongdoing. In philosophical terms, justice is concerned with questions of what is morally right and wrong, how to distribute resources and opportunities equitably, and how to enforce laws that maintain social order. Justice can manifest in various forms, such as legal justice, social justice, restorative justice, and retributive justice, each addressing different aspects of fairness and equity in society.
