¶ … Rawlsian Theory of Justice propounds that social justice should be governed by the principles of guaranteeing fundamental liberties to each person and ensuring that the least advantaged members of society benefit from any social and economic inequalities. The theory further argues that justice can only be brought about by a basic social structure, which is designed with a view to regulate inequalities that arise from social, natural, and historical precedents. In the light of the preceding context, a Rawlsian is likely to take the position that the process of inheritance is unjust since it perpetuates a social and historical inequality in social and economic arrangements. Therefore, inheritance should only be permitted if social institutions regulate inequalities arising from the process in a manner, which ensures that such inequality benefits the least advantaged population segments.
Central to the Rawlsian argument against unregulated inheritance would be the premise that every individual is entitled to an equal opportunity to obtain those positions in society that bring greater economic and social rewards. That being the case, any individual who acquires economic and social gain or position merely...
Of course, the libertarian would defend the existence of inheritance by stating that heirs are entitled to the acquisition of ancestral or bequeathed property, as it does not infringe on anyone else's rights.
In Rawl's view, however, economic and social gains through inheritance would, in fact, constitute an infringement of an individual's inviolable right to justice since there is nothing natural or inevitable about the social emphasis and weight given to transactions between individuals, either current or historical. For one, Rawls or a Rawlsian would contend that though the social arrangements and relationships that historically agreed to certain economic and social arrangements may have been fair and fully honored, there is nothing to gainsay that the conditions for the fair and free agreements still hold. Second, in any case, it would have to be proved that the very social circumstances and context under which the agreement was first arrived at was fair. In other words, a Rawlsian would argue that unless it could be proved that the property and wealth acquired was as per the dictums of…
Social justice is a multifaceted and complex concept that has evolved over time to embody ideals of fairness, equality, and human rights within societies. It encompasses a wide range of issues such as economic equality, access to education, health care, the rights of marginalized communities, and more (Rawls, 1971). The pursuit of social justice aims to ensure that individuals and groups have equitable opportunities and are not subjected to discrimination
Social Justice Social Work Value/Social Justice- For centuries, philosophers have puzzled the human condition.

Social Justice Theoretical Constructs and Social Justice What does it mean to say that theory can influence and shape racist, classist, and sexist notions of people, groups, and societies? Theoretical constructs, the text by Finn & Jacobson (2003) tells us, are highly influenced by prevailing political, cultural and social hierarchies. Accordingly, those theories of sociological order which ultimately are accepted as organic and naturally occurring are often tied into certain pointedly hegemonic imperatives.
Social Justice We have described one of the roles of social justice work as that of the "bricoleur," What is the significance of this role for the process of research and evaluation? The reading explains that the bricoleur is mindful of the subjective nature of inquiry and the preferences that inquiries bring during research. In fact, every part of a research project, from thesis to drafting is different depending on the personality
