Indeed, without justice, the world could simply collapse! Your school, your home and your community need you this way! So when it comes to justice, don`t look around, look in the mirror! Justice helps us discover what is right, what is right and what is wrong. When justice works, everyone feels treated fairly. Rules and laws help people determine what is “fair” or equitable. Here are some videos that explain what justice is: Governments, and especially the police and courts, find that laws are respected in most societies. Because they can punish a person for not obeying the law, most people agree that laws should be just and equal for all. But governments sometimes make laws that many consider unfair. If many people believe this, people may lose respect for the law and even ignore it. In democratic societies, however, the law itself has the ability to change or get rid of these unjust laws. How you treat others, and whether or not you treat them fairly, will have a huge impact on your life, your future, and the lives of others. If you look at a lot of the people we`ve written about on InspireMyKids, you`ll see that many are very fair and just people. Justice is not just something that is “out there”, it is something you can practice every day! How? Justice, one of the four cardinal virtues, by Vitruvius Alberi, 1589-1590.
