John Rawls the Theory of

John Rawls the Theory of Justice John Rawls: The Theory of Justice John Rawls basically utilizes the social contract theory to come up with his sown approach to the granting of basic right as well as duties of individuals within the society. There are basically two principles in his theory of justice. The first is that each individual in the society should have the equal rights to the liberties that are most extensive in as much as they are in total agreement with the liberty for others.

The second principle is that the social as well as the economic inequalities are to be aligned in such a manner that they are a) to each person's advantage and B) open and accessible to all (Robert Cavalier et.al. 2012). This is then the position that can be utilized in the case at hand.

Offered the chance to work in a more interesting job would be presenting me with the equal social as well as economic opportunity as others to utilize my skills as well as to enjoy myself in the career path. It also gives me the liberty to choose the kind of job that I would like to get involved in rather than getting stuck to a boring job.

However, the concealing of the information on the predisposition to death in the new job over the boring job that has lesser risks is an exposure to an economic equality which is not to my advantage. The owners of the service I will be providing will have a greater security advantage over me and as well as those who will remain in the boring jobs will have the security advantage.

But again Rawls argues that if I was not exposed to the more enjoyable job and was left at the boring job, it would be unjust to me as it would not present an opportunity for me at the original position to make a decision as to what job I would prefer.

System of Natural Liberty, Liberal Equality, and Democratic Equality The principle of natural liberty portends that the economic system ran smoothly through the natural forces until the interference by lack of benevolence, injustices and lack of prudence among people. It actually highlights benevolence, prudence and justice as the virtues that will make the human behavior beneficial to the society if entrenched.

Smith envisaged the state of system of natural liberty, to be the perfect natural system and final stage to be arrived at by all historical social systems that exist (Fabio Monsalve, 2011:6). Liberal equality is another principle that was propagated by Rawls and focuses on the removal of artificial obstacles or man made obstacles as opposed to the natural liberty principles.

Rawls here argues for the removal of inequalities which act as disadvantages to some people and this can be achieved trough giving them a just share of the primary goods the society has to offer. This principle neglects the natural endowments natural disadvantages. Another philosopher, Ronald Dworkin therefore argues that even if these social primary goods are assembled yet the people with natural disabilities are not given some form of insurance, then they would still be disadvantaged (Matthew Clayton, n.d:8).

The concept of democratic equality deals with liberty and equality. It brings into perspective the basic freedoms and rights like those of speech and assembly among the others. It states that each individual should be accorded these in order to ensure the greatest achievement possible by the individual unless, the granting of these rights act as a hindrance to the freedom ad safety of others.

Principle of average utility Rawls argues that one is not able to choose the principle of average utility while at the original point since they operate from a point of absolute ignorance. At the original point, the persons there have no definite highest-order.
