 Moral, Legal, and Religious Perspectives on Social Justice . In Chapter 1 of your textbook, justice is analyzed from three perspectives, each with its own set of relevant concepts. The text includes three case studies for consideration from each perspective. Select one (only one) of these case studies as the focus of your initial post in this discussion. Then analyze the selected case study from the justice perspective which accompanies it and answer the following questions.

 a. If you select “Case Study 1.1 – Jacob Little and Walmart,” analyze it from the perspective of justice as a moral concept. Your analysis must address the following questions:

 § Did Walmart offer Jacob a just wage? Why or why not?

 § Was the alderman’s decision to let Walmart operate in the city just? Why or why not?

 § If you were the alderman, what would you do to more fully promote justice in the situation? Why?

 b. If you select “Case Study 1.2 – Just Desserts?,” analyze it from the perspective of justice as a legal concept.

 § Was the court’s sentence for Mr. Allen just? Why or why not?

 § Was the court’s sentence for Mr. Brown just? Why or why not?

 § If you were the judge presiding over both of these trials, what would you do to more fully promote justice in them? Why?

 c. If you select “Case Study 1.3 – Honor the Sabbath or Keep Your Job,” analyze it from the perspective of justice as a religious concept.

 § Did Chief Gerst treat Corporal Brown justly? Why or why not?

 § Did Corporal Brown act justly after his agreement with Chief Gerst? Why or why not?

 § If you were the Chief of TSU’s Police department, what would you do to more fully promote justice in the situation? Why?

 The Justice of Climate Change . In Chapter 1 of your textbook, the author identifies the possible causes and consequences of global warming/climate change as emerging issues loaded with implications for justice. He also analyzes the concepts of distributive justice, commutative justice, and retributive justice and suggests their relevance to conversations about how individuals, businesses, and nations should respond justly to evidence of global warming. These conversations are made more difficult by acrimonious debates about the quality of the scientific evidence that supports global warming hypotheses as well as the motives and integrity of various scientists on both sides of the issue. “Case Study 1.4 – Getting Warmer?” illustrates this problem.

Learn to prioritize your classes in regard to study time. Not all of your classes will be intensive for you. Those classes that you excel in, are often easy for you and do not require as much study time. Be smart and use that study time for other classes that do require more of your attention; however, always refocus your efforts should challenges arise in the easy class.
