Essay #2: Justice (definition essay) For this module of our class, our texts and discussions have covered a wide array of subjects from the socially constructed notion of gender to racial justice. Each of our texts takes a relatively unique position on the idea of justice, generally rooted in each authors individual, subjective experience. Your task as a writer is to explore the mechanism by which the idea of justice is constructed. Is justice a relative term, or is there a specific, objective way to define it? Using our readings1 from the Justice module as evidence, respond to the following prompt. What does justice ? Do people really have fundamentally different views of justice? Is our definition of justice itself a purely human/social construct?
