Every day we have to contact with other people, while experiencing many emotions and conditions, we find ourselves in a situation that we subsequently give an assessment of - adequate or unconscious. Equity is also an evaluation criterion. But, unfortunately, few people understand this term. Today we will speak on a very interesting and important topic: injustice is what?
Consider the meaning of the term “justice”
From the Latin language - "right to lead." This is a valuable, spiritual, moral quality of a person and her actions, which characterizes her as a person living in accordance with moral standards, principles and the law.
Justice gives us the concept of the right relationship between people, the ratio of duties and rights of the individual, the well-deserved reward of each and another. This thought crashes into the subconscious and serves as an evaluation category of everything that happens. Now let's talk about the opposite meaning of the word.
Injustice is ...
The phenomenon is relative. Because the idea of it develops on the basis of the spiritual concepts of good and evil, which implies that true justice does not exist. That is, absolute justice in the view of one person to another will seem injustice.
Injustice is an assessment of an act or situation as an action or phenomenon contrary to the laws of justice. Let us give an example, which can be taken as the basis for the work “Injustice”.
We argue for the statement
So, three adult brothers lived in good prosperity. Two settled well, got their own families, and the third was lonely. Soon, the father dies, and after him the mother. She made a will, according to which half of her property went to her youngest son, and the second was divided equally between the other sons. The latter were outraged by such injustice: why did they get the fourth part, and not evenly?
It all depends on the vision of the situation. Three brothers will perceive the mother’s decision as fair or not due to their inner feelings and beliefs. Two married brothers, having received a quarter of the inheritance, considered this an injustice, because they believed in a greater reward. And the younger brother was satisfied and found the mother’s decision to be fair, because he is single and has a harder time in life. Although if the younger mentally takes the place of the older brothers, then he will see the injustice in obtaining an advantage.
The elders can also mentally be in the place of the younger brother and soberly assess the circumstances, recognizing that the mother’s act is fair, because their well-being is better, and, therefore, regard her will as the right decision.
The misunderstandings and difficulties in relations between people that appear on the basis of illusory injustice are explained by the fact that we put other people too high demands and expectations. At the same time, we make sure that they accept our point of view, although we ourselves will never take into account their internal position and desire. Thus, injustice is nothing but the perception of an event, action and rejection of a decision made by another person.
We conclude
The mother, of course, loved the three sons equally and made a will, based only on personal beliefs and her vision of the situation. And she considered the decision absolutely fair. Although she could bequeath everything to orphans, and that would be her will. No one has the right to dispose of her property. That is why it can be so difficult to understand what is fair and what is not.
Is it necessary to fight injustice?
Injustice definitely cannot be left unpunished. If in our example it is difficult to discern injustice, that is, its obvious manifestations when they offend the weak, hooligan, insult, humiliate and so on. Here you need to take the position of an oppressed person and together fight injustice.
We give one more example. Let's say you have a friendly family, two little children. And from below lives a neighbor who is always dissatisfied with everything, she is annoyed by the noise that the kids make, your guests are nervous, and so on. At the same time, she constantly complains to law enforcement agencies, scribbles letters of complaint, in which she slanders you. You have been assigned a fine, the children are afraid of a formidable neighbor. It can be paid and agree with her opinion, but this will happen again. In this case, it is necessary to fight injustice, because young children can not be chained to the battery.
How to defeat her?
There are no universal recommendations on this subject. There are tips to help you overcome failure:
- Always keep calm. Refrain from rash acts, which can then be greatly regretted. It is necessary to cool down and act only when common sense wins.
- Give yourself time to think. It is necessary to look at the situation from the side so that a complete picture of actions emerges. Analyze what you could do, what lesson you learned. This will be a valuable experience for the future.
- Feel free to ask for help. There is nothing wrong with that. The person you trust will provide support, give advice and tell about your vision of the situation.
Always control yourself, only then you will be able to understand the situation and make the right decision. Now let's talk about social injustice.
We characterize her
Social injustice is the existing explicit and hidden dishonest actions within the framework of society, generating inequality, blocking the development of social progress.
Social injustice cannot disappear on its own. The phenomenon will continue to exist "due to" the passivity of the people or instincts. Today, both are observed. People show little self-conscious civic activity and at the same time give too much power to condemn the authorities, which a priori will not improve the situation, but only exacerbate it.
It is necessary to improve oneself, to promote the personal growth of other people. Learning to recognize worthy personalities, support them, show civic activity, and then justice will certainly triumph.
What qualities need to be developed in yourself?
Necessary:
- Be able to communicate and find language with an opponent.
- Understand your own and other people's interests.
- Defend your point of view and the position of another person.
- Possess courage and courage.
- To be able to make out from the mass of worthy candidates and support them.
- Be friendly and pious.
Thus, people's injustice, inaction, fear, greed, selfishness, laziness give rise to social injustice. We are all responsible for this.
