injustice

 

Injustice Universal Theme, Brian Beholds

An unfair act, decision or pattern of behavior that causes someone, or a group, to suffer hardship or an undeserved loss. An injustice is a wrong. It is an imbalance of equity. We all have certain rights as human beings, and when these are denied us, we have experienced injustice.

Key Concepts

A bias is something that causes more weight to fall on one side of something. A leaning of the mind toward one object or course.

Ethics is the study of the moral choices made by individuals in relation to others and the rules and customs that have arisen in different situations and fields to guide people in making better choices.

Fairness means that clear and good conditions apply, that equality and honesty are used in making decisions. Nobody feels as though they have received an unfair advantage or disadvantage.

Justice is the consideration of giving each thing its fair result based on uniform principles of right and wrong.

Luck is what happens to a person or thing that may or may not have anything to do with what is deserved, intended or expected.

Merit is the state of deserving an outcome based on earned actions or character.

The minority is the smaller of two related numbers in a group, the group with fewer items or people.

Two or more things that have parity are equal, they have the same degree, state and/or position.

A privilege is a benefit granted to some individuals but not others in a group. This benefit can be an added reward or ability, or can be shielding the chosen people from a burden.

A question is an unsettled issue, open for debate and investigation.
