Justice vs. Fairness

| | Comments (1)

Well, today I was doing homework for my Language Arts teacher. We're doing this whole thing on fairness versus justice (picking apart stories we've read). What do you think? What's more important?

Huh. Well..definition-wise, isn't justice the use of authority to decide what is right or wrong and what should be done to make it fair?


I looked it up. Justice is...
-the quality of being just or fair
-the administration of law; the act of determining rights and assigning rewards or punishments; "justice deferred is justice denied"


So basically, if we're going by the second definition, the only difference is the use of authority to make things fair.
