STUDENT ASSIGNMENT 4: Fairs Fair-NUMBER Distributive Justice
:
65560825
STEP 1: write an answer to the question posed above “is this okay”
NO, THIS IS NOT OKAY.
1. Analysis of the inequality described using John Rawls’ two (three)
principles in their correct order:
•PRINCIPLE 1 – Greatest Equal Liberty
Each person is to have an equal right to the most extensive total
system of equal basic liberties compatible with a similar system of
liberty for all. The greatest equal liberty principle is mainly
concerned with the distribution of the rights and liberties. The
principle requires that citizens enjoy equal basic liberties, such as
the right to own property, freedom of speech, the right to food and
the right to vote etc.
PRINCIPLE 2A – Equality of Fair Opportunity
This principle requires that social positions such as jobs, be
formally open. Each individual is to have a fair chance to attain
these positions. The best way to achieve and maintain equal
opportunity in South Africa is through quality education that targets
the poor and offers them the same the means to gain experience
and advance their prospects in a substantial way.
PRINCIPLE 2B – The Difference principle
The difference principle governs the distribution of income and
wealth, positions of responsibility and power and the social bases
of self-respect. It holds that inequalities in the distribution of these
goods are permissible only if they benefit the least well-off
positions of society. South Africa is a highly distributively unequal
country, and its inequality continues to be largely along racial lines.
Rawls’ difference principle recommends that the worst off be made
as well as they can be, a standard which South Africa clearly falls
shorts off.
2. An analysis of the inequality described using John Rawls’ veil of
ignorance:
John Rawls’ suggest that you imagine yourself in an original position
behind veil of ignorance. Behind this veil you know nothing of yourself and
your natural abilities or your position in society. You know nothing of your
gender, race, nationality or individual taste. For example in the imaginary
society one might or might not be intelligent, rich or born into a preferred
class.
3. Your opinion on the inequality described:
