It is evident that in any community we live in, people should be treated with respect, but today

the reverse is happening. Therefore, a justice system must be implemented to promote equality,

which can only be done through the three forms of justice (legal, cumulative, and distributive).

However, in the scenario, we will focus on "distributive justice," which is said to be a set of

qualities of a society that create the rational and unbiased distribution of the goods (and, to a

lesser degree, services) that individuals require to endure and bloom (Blakeley, n.d.). That is,

profit and problem must be shared equally, such as education support, taxes, government

assistance, estate housing, social security eligibility, etc., etc., without any favoritism; as seen in

the image below, according to Longley, R. (2022, April 27). However, if there are any biases in

the distribution, it could be nice to report them so that amendments by the distributor, be it

government or organization, can ensure happy living among societal members.

From the above, it is clear that distributive justice is concerned. Distributive justice concentrates

on social and economic outcomes, especially for the most vulnerable through the provision of

different safety net programs. However, this is far from reality in some cases. For example, in

my country, Sierra Leone, if your political party is in power, you are safer to enjoy the goodies
than when you are in an opposition party, but in terms of burden, most times that shifts to the

opposition rather than the ruling party. Hence, the providers, funders, or goodwill ambassadors

of this program become tired of such biases because the less privileged benefits are landing in

the wrong hands, making distributive justice ineffective. Hence, those that are responsible, be it

government or organization, should make sure the society affected receives a just distribution of

benefits and burdens, especially honoring their responsibilities, because if everyone played their

part in the community, it would help the government or organization in evaluating past

programs, devising mechanisms for exiting the current program at the end, and making

provisions for a sustainable plan at the end of the program for proper inflow and outflow of

money, more social amenities, and another safety net.
