Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Explanation: Justice does not require absolute equality and sameness in the way in which the people live. But a society would be considered unjust if the differences between the rich and the poor are so great that they seem to be living in different worlds altogether, and if the relatively deprived have no chance at all to improve their condition, however hard they may work. In other words, a just society should provide the people with the basic minimum conditions to enable them to live healthy and secure lives, and develop their talents, as well as equal opportunities to pursue their chosen goals in the society. Note: ‘A Just Society is that society in which ascending sense of reverence and descending sense of contempt is dissolved into the creation of a compassionate society’. This definition of Just Society was given by Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar in ‘Annihilation of Caste’. Justice implies something which it is not only right to do and wrong not to do; but which some individual person can claim from us as his moral right. – J. S. Mill.
