Labour Justice : A Constitutional Evaluation of Labour Law
This book argues that the imagination of the worker-citizen, inherent in citizens' constitutional duty to work, is the very foundation of constitutional citizenship and its social justice agenda.The design of social justice in the constitution takes labour as its core ideological and political commitment, seeking to treat workers fairly for their social contribution through work.Employing this constitutional design, this book evaluates the recently repealed labour law against the constitutional metric of social justice.Drawing on the components of social justice, the book evaluates the new labour law in its capacity to promote market-based distribution, respecting basic individual liberties; the complementary redistribution of public goods, upholding the principle of solidarity; and worker participation in decisions about the operation of the market and the state.In offering such evaluation, the book conceives of work in its wider social relationship in contrast to its narrower private exchange rationale.

What is the difference between justice based on performance and justice based on need?
Justice based on performance focuses on rewarding individuals based on their achievements, efforts, and contributions.

It emphasizes the fair distribution of resources and opportunities to ensure that everyone has access to the necessities for a decent standard of living. In essence, justice based on performance rewards individuals for their efforts and achievements, while justice based on need prioritizes providing support to those who require it the most.

'Revenge or Justice?'
Revenge is driven by a desire to inflict harm or suffering on someone in response to a perceived wrongdoing, often without consideration for fairness or due process. Justice, on the other hand, is about restoring balance and fairness by holding individuals accountable for their actions through a fair and impartial legal process. While revenge may provide temporary satisfaction, it often perpetuates a cycle of harm and does not address the root causes of the conflict. Justice, on the other hand, seeks to address the underlying issues and promote healing and reconciliation. Ultimately, justice is a more sustainable and constructive approach to resolving conflicts and addressing wrongdoing.

An Analysis of John Rawls's A Theory of Justice
John Rawls's A Theory of Justice is one of the most influential works of legal and political theory published since the Second World War.It provides a memorably well-constructed and sustained argument in favour of a new (social contract) version of the meaning of social justice.In setting out this argument, Rawls aims to construct a viable, systematic doctrine designed to ensure that the process of maximizing good is both conscious and coherent – and the result is a work that foregrounds the critical thinking skill of reasoning.Rawls's focus falls equally on discussions of the failings of existing systems – not least among them Marxism and Utilitarianism – and on explanation of his own new theory of justice.By illustrating how he arrived at his conclusions, and by clearly explaining and justifying his own liberal, pluralist values, Rawls is able to produce a well structured argument that is fully focused on the need to persuade.Rawls explicitly explains his goals. He discusses other ways of conceptualizing a just society and deals with counter-arguments by explaining his objections to them.Then, carefully and methodically, he defines a number of concepts and tools—“thought experiments”—that help the reader to follow his reasoning and test his ideas.Rawls’s hypothesis is that his ideas about justice can be universally applied: they can be accepted as rational in any society at any time.

Applied Theatre: Voice : Performance and Social Justice
Applied Theatre: Voice is a unique exploration of the conceptual and practical understandings of voice in relation to applied theatre.

Or is voice also referring to the material, sonic and embodied phenomenon of human communication, when we consider the relationship between voice, performance and social justice?In this book, voice in applied theatre is critically examined in a range of practical case studies, discussing both its symbolic and material function, demonstrating the necessity of considering both when working in applied and community spaces.In Part One, voice as a concept is introduced, discussing recent theorizations of voice and why they are significant to applied theatre.Part Two introduces the case studies, exploring divergent understandings of why the voice matters in community practice.

Is justice an illusion?
Justice is not necessarily an illusion, but rather a complex and often imperfect concept. While the idea of justice may vary depending on cultural, social, and individual perspectives, it remains a fundamental principle in many legal systems.

Despite these challenges, efforts to promote fairness, equality, and accountability are essential in striving towards a more just society.
