The complexity of the modern world is very evident.

As such, how can we guarantee

fairness for everyone? John Rawls introduced a theory known as "Justice as Fairness," which
for me holds significant relevance in this contemporary world over the other ethical theory that
we have discussed during the whole term.

Rawls' theory is useful today because it promotes the idea of equal opportunities. This
means that everyone should have a fair chance to do well in life. His theory suggests that we
should make rules that give everyone the same chance to succeed, no matter where we come
from or what our situation is. This way, everyone has a fair shot at reaching our goals, dreams
and aspirations.

Many places have a big difference between people with lots of money and those with
less. Rawls' idea says it's okay to have some differences, like in wealth or power, if they help
everyone, especially those who have less by actively working towards reducing inequalities and
ensuring that everyone was given an equal opportunity to grow as an individual and as a society
at large . This is important today when we want to make things more equal.

The diversity of our society nowadays, filled with people from different cultures,
backgrounds, and beliefs. Rawls' theory encourages fairness that respects diversity and
ensures rules benefit everyone, no matter where they're from, there age, sex, social status,
races and what religion they belong to.

Rawls' theory focuses on ensuring that everyone receives what they require for a good
life where access to the basic human needs are attainable. In today's world, where issues such
as poverty, discrimination, and access to healthcare are significant, Rawls' concepts are
increasingly pertinent.

Rawl’s theory may be too idealistic but in a simple sense, it may serves as a guide for us
on how to live life. If I can describe this theory in a word or two, I can definitely use the word
“Visionary” and “Practical”. Visionary because it only view a fairer world where everyone has
equal opportunities. He dreams of a society where rules are made tobe benefitted by everyone
in different walks of life. Rawls' ideas inspire us create a fair and just world for everyone. The
theory is practical in the sense that Rawls' theory of justice is useful because it provides
subjective approach in understanding fairness in society.

The context of the application of Rawl’s Theory is that it can guide peopl how we make
rules and decisions in today's world. If we focus on giving everyone the equal chances, making
things more equal, welcoming differences, and supporting fairness for all, we can make society
better for all of us. It's important to always consider Rawls' beliefs on how to run things like
governments specifically in policy making giving basic services to everybody, and in our
decision making in our everyday life. This ensures that everyone is treated fairly,in different
walks of life regardless of our age, sex, religion and social status. Also, by continuing to think
about and talk about Rawls' ideas, we can make everyone even better and use them to solve
new problems in this dynamic world. Overall, using Rawls' theory can help make the world a
fairer and nicer place to live for everyone, the ideal world.
