2. OBJECTIVES:
To understand distributive justice
To know the different principle of Distributive
Justice
To enumerate the types of distributive justice
norms
To reflect the importance of justice and
fairness in everyday life
3. “God is just. He
treats everyone
fairly and shows
no favoritism.”
4. refers to the extent to which punishments are fair
and just. In general, punishments are held to be just
to the extent that they take into account relevant
criteria such as the seriousness of the crime and
the intent of the criminal, and discount irrelevant
criteria such as race.
RETRIBUTIVE JUSTICE
5. refers to the extent to which people are fairly compensated
for their injuries by those who have injured them; just
compensation is proportional to the loss inflicted on a
person.
COMPENSATORY JUSTICE
6. Refers to the extent to which society's
institutions ensure that benefits and burdens
are distributed among society's members in
ways that are fair and just. When the institutions
of a society distribute benefits or burdens in
unjust ways, there is a strong presumption that
those institutions should be changed.
DISTRIBUTIVE JUSTICE
7. In social psychology, distributive justice concerns the perceived
fairness of how rewards and costs are distributed across group
members. For example, in a company, when workers are paid with
different amount of salaries, distributive justice is absent. Therefore,
everyone deserves to get the same amount of reward or costs without
considering the input
People usually turn to the distributive norms of their group to determine
whether distributive justice has occurred. A norm is the standard
behavior that is required, desired, or designated as normal within a
specific group. Distributive justice is said to have occurred if rewards
and costs are allocated according to the designated distributive norm of
the group
8. FIVE TYPES OF DISTRIBUTIVE JUSTIVE
NORMS
BY: Donelson R. Forsyth
EQUITY
EQUALITY
everyone must be given an equal amount of reward or cost regardless of the
input.
This opposes the principle of equity. The allocation of rewards
or costs between the members is based on the amount of
their input.
9. POWER
NEED
This refers to the people who have the authority, power or control
over the group should receive a larger amount of reward over those
in lower levels.
Those who are in need should be given the resources
need in order to meet their needs. These people should
be prioritized than those who have already enough
resources regardless of their input.
10. RESPONSIBILITY
This concerns that those people
who already have the most shared
amount should give a part to those
who have less
12. Says that every person should have the same level of
material goods (including burdens) and services. The
principle is most commonly justififed on the grounds that
people are morally equal and that equality in material
goods and services is the best way to give effect to this
moral ideal.
EGALIATRIAN
13. TYPES OF EGALITARIANISM
Where legal rights of every citizen are equally observed
Where the distribution of socio-economic goods are
equally observed
Political Egalitarianism
Economic Egalitarianism
14. refers to the principle that everyone is subject to
the same law
Legal Egalitarianism
15. One is concerned with just a distribution in terms of
receiving one’s share according to how much one
contributes to the overall success of the goal of the
institutions where one is employed. One receives one’s
share according to the proportion of one’s contribution. If
one contributes more, one receives more. If one contributes
less, the less one receives.
CAPITALIST
16. Territorial organization
One is concerned with a just distribution in terms of
one’s needs. We have various needs in life, and if we
want to achieve those needs, we need to work hard
according to the amount of needs we have. If one has
greater needs, then one expects that his share is greater
in the distribution scheme and vice versa
SOCIALIST
