Justice is an ideal representing something that is Just and Right. It basically
means being just fair and Right . That depends on the context of Just And fair.
Requirement is essential to the idea of justice. Justice is a concept of moral

rights, not charity or needs.

The 19th and 20th centuries saw significant legal reforms, influenced by
movements like liberalism and human rights. Today, justice is multifaceted,
encompassing legal, social, and distributive aspects, with ongoing debates on
equity, access, and the role of the state in ensuring a just society.
Modern frameworks include concepts such as distributive justice,
egalitarianism, retributive justice, and restorative justice. Distributive justice
considers what is fair based on what goods are to be distributed, between whom
they are to be distributed, and what is the proper distribution. Egalitarians
suggest justice can only exist within the coordinates of equality. Theories of
retributive justice say justice is served by punishing wrongdoers, whereas
restorative justice (also sometimes called "reparative justice") is an approach to
justice that focuses on the needs of victims and offenders.
