the scope of social justice

Miller brings a lot of good points about social justice and I agree with most of them. First he separates the differences between distributive justice, which is the fair distributions of benefits among the various members of the association, and social justice, which is the fair distribution of benefits to anyone. Distributive justice, as Miller said, was mainly used by clubs, organizations, Aristotle's writings, and by Christians throughout Aquinas' era. He also explains and tells that liberals and progressives embrace this idea of social justice more than socialist, which says that to even speak of justice puts you in  the realm of ideology, which i thought was interesting and agree about the liberals embracing social justice.

His list of advantages and disadvantages to social justice were interesting as well. His list of advantages range from money, commodities, transportation, child care, and even medical care; with all of these advantages and many more I agree with him that these are real advantages to social justice.

But some of his disadvantages that he lists I disagree completely. He says that military services are a disadvantage which I think is a great advantage because you need to defend yourself from people or countries that want to attack you like terrorists. And on another note you need to sometimes fight with another country to restore peace in the world. He also says that social justice has a disadvantage for taking care of the old. Basically he contradicted himself social justice means that everyone deserves the same benefits, regardless of age as well as his comment of hard degrading work for workers because social justice benefits all people.

In the end of Miller's chapter, i do agree when he says that we as a nation and as humans need to strive and find social justice to connect one another. However, as long as there are differences in the world, it will take a long time to find a common social justice among ourselves, but that doesn't mean that we can't try and mind justice. On another note, I think we need to have a social justice system while being different because cultural diversity makes the world go round as well as see that we are all different (being culturally diverse), yet the same (being all human) at the same time. That is what needs to be done so that we can accomplish our goal for the greater glory of God.
