I think we have a similar concept of revenge - an emotional response to 'get even' when we feel wronged (eye for an eye).
I think justice is somewhat harder to define, because the term means ultimate and correct judgement and as humans we are unable to make ultimate judgement as we are bound by space and time and we cannot guarantee flawless or correct judgement. Justice must be assessed outside of the domain of time. I believe in a God and creator who was before all things and exists outside of time (eternity is in his hand) and it is only God who can deliver true justice as the past and future are not a mystery and any crime can be assessed from an eternal perspective.
In terms of the 'justice' we have here on earth. I believe strongly that criminal actions should have punitive consequences and that we should make our best effort to accurately judge and appropriately punish.
Is it a crime to inflict punishment on a criminal, even if it means having to actually kill a murderer? I say no. If they truly committed the crime then they deserve the punishment and forfeit their right to life.
The American Bill of Rights is an oxymoron in principle. You can't have "the right to life and liberty" without some restrictions being placed on said liberties.
So with that, I ask, is justice fair, or is justice right?
The problem with this in practice is that this may in fact exacerbate the psychological trauma suffered by many victims of sexual assault.
Yep. I posted basically the same page in my reply on page one. I'm glad that there are others out there who actually realize the trauma that may occur if such a punishment were implemented.
So with that, I ask, is justice fair, or is justice right?
Hmm.. interesting query. I hold that justice is neither fair nor right. However it is a necessary element in our society. Until we perfect a means of identifying the guilty as well as establishing an accurate and all encompassing system of meting punishment commensurate to the offenses addressed, as well as a more common concept of what offenses are truly worthy of punishment, then justice will never be fair or right. Sadly I don't see that occurring any time in the near future.
Justice always comprehended to many things. That's why I'm spamming lol

Justice is always said in the comics and cartoons as a greater good or a thing that is done to prevent evil. Justice is what I think is just a word people use to say to calm the children from being terrified of real world. This world is just harsh. There is little justice, a lot of injustice. They use the word justice to make everything sound a little less terrifying.
