This discussion focuses on justice. Justice is about respect. It is also about fairness (Ruggiero, 2012). Justice is also used in laws and politics and occasionally justice is about getting what one deserves. According to Cugero-Escofet and Fortin (2014), ethicists and philosophers alike, consider this a normative requirement in societal relationships. Likewise, justice can be quite helpful when dealing with conflicting interests. According to Martin (2019), laws are put in place to prevent discrimination as well as legal hierarchies that are unjust. Moreover, justice is about the world. It is about making it a better place for people to live and interact with one another. Plato is one of the first philosophers to recognize the significance of justice in society. For instance, in Socrates’ dialogs in the Republic , Plato believed that in order for a person to achieve goodness he or she must consider justice as an important criteria in its determination. Plato considered justice a moral virtue. It was a virtue that should be exercised and reflected upon as part of the human soul (Cugero-Escofet & Fortin, 2014). Saint Thomas Aquinas discussed justice and evil. The example of Job was used as an application to illustrate his point-of-view. “Aquinas adds that he ‘teaches the perfect wisdom of man. For since temporal and corporeal goods are not to be loved except for the sake of spiritual and eternal goods . . . one ought not to be down cast if he should be deprived of the former, nor upraised if he should abound in them. Job, Aquinas advances, is a teacher in virtuous ‘constancy of spirit’ in so far as he is not overly prideful when prosperous nor overly cast down when afflicted (Nutt, 2015, p. 51). Furthermore, Saint Thomas Aquinas shared the importance of the Job story to help readers understand that suffering does not deny providence in human affairs (Nutt, 2015). Another great philosopher who wrote on justice was John Rawls. “One of John Rawls major aims, when he wrote A Theory of Justice , was to present a superior alternative to utilitarianism” (Chung, 2018, p. 1). According to utilitarianism, “One ought to do whatever will lead to the most happiness” (Rachels & Rachels, 2019, p. 170). Rawls believed that people deserved to be treated with respect. Likewise, he believed that people should have liberties. Economic equality and fairness were some of the goals of his philosophy. This is the reason why Rawls believed in distributive justice (Liang, 2017).

This discussion focuses on justice.
Justice is about respect. It is also about fairness (Ruggiero,
2012). Justice is also used in laws and politics and occasionally
justice is about getting what one deserves. According to
Cugero-Escofet and Fortin (2014), ethicists and philosophers
alike, consider this a normative requirement in societal
relationships. Likewise, justice can be quite helpful when
dealing with conflicting interests. According to Martin (2019),
laws are put in place to prevent discrimination as well as legal
hierarchies that are unjust.
Moreover, justice is about the world. It is about making it a
better place for people to live and interact with one another.
Plato is one of the first philosophers to recognize the
significance of justice in society. For instance, in Socrates’

2. dialogs in the
Republic
, Plato believed that in order for a person to achieve goodness
he or she must consider justice as an important criteria in its
determination. Plato considered justice a moral virtue. It was a
virtue that should be exercised and reflected upon as part of the
human soul (Cugero-Escofet & Fortin, 2014).
Saint Thomas Aquinas discussed justice and evil. The example
of Job was used as an application to illustrate his point-of-view.
“Aquinas adds that he ‘teaches the perfect wisdom of man. For
since temporal and corporeal goods are not to be loved except
for the sake of spiritual and eternal goods . . . one ought not to
be down cast if he should be deprived of the former, nor
upraised if he should abound in them. Job, Aquinas advances, is
a teacher in virtuous ‘constancy of spirit’ in so far as he is not
overly prideful when prosperous nor overly cast down when
afflicted (Nutt, 2015, p. 51). Furthermore, Saint Thomas
Aquinas shared the importance of the Job story to help readers
understand that suffering does not deny providence in human
affairs (Nutt, 2015).

I enjoyed reading the comments that you shared in your initial
post as it relates to female circumcision. Valid points were
shared related to the world view you held. For example, I

5. appreciated reading information that you wrote related to
subjective moral relativist. Also, you shared good information
related to the steps that you would take as to whether you can
assist the surgeon. Allow me to share some additional insight as
it relates to female circumcision as well as my thoughts related
to cultural relativism. It is true that equality exists when
examining cultures and societies based on a cultural relativist
perspective. According to Rachels and Rachels (2019),
“Different cultures have different moral codes” (p. 14). As a
nurse, my Hippocratic Oath is to do no harm (El-Gibaly et al.,
2019). Since female genital mutilation (FGM) is illegal in a
country like the United Kingdom (Bourne, 2018), my cultural
beliefs would be in opposition to assisting the surgeon. This is
where our views differed.
