social justice is the concern with the distribution of the benefits and the hardships in society, and an appreciation with the way in which they are allocated. It is the fair and proper administration of laws conforming to the natural law that all persons, irrespective of ethnic origin, gender, possessions, race, religion, etc., are to be treated equally and without prejudice.
