Justice

Understanding and defining the meaning of justice is broad and controversial. In the light of great philosophers such as Aristotle, Kant and John Raws, as well as theorists who have delved into discussions on justice such as Piaget, Kohlberg and Yves de La Taille, we sought to discuss conceptions of justice based on the accounts of seven young people who debated the subject. And do schools, the authority figures in them and parents play a fundamental role in shaping values such as justice? The book provides concepts about these values for building an ethical personality. Young people's strong disbelief about justice in the country, as well as indignation about racial or socio-economic discrimination were highlighted. On the other hand, there was also a desire for the school to discuss ethics. There is an urgent need to reflect on the role of the school! May the indignation found in the young people's reports and the importance they attach to dialogue echo far and wide, in the name of raising people's awareness of the most rational of virtues, which is justice. May the theory go beyond the shelves of books to become part of people's core values, governing their behaviour.
