 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?

 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.

 Familiarize yourself with the debate highlighted in Case Study 1.4 by reviewing the required resources for this discussion. Then apply concepts of distributive justice, commutative justice, and retributive justice to answer the following questions.

 a. How should the concept of distributive justice influence the response of the United States to evidence of global warming? Why?

 b. How should the concept of commutative justice influence your response, as an individual, to evidence of global warming? Why?

 c. How should the concept of retributive justice influence governmental and individual responses to business activities which emit substantial amounts of carbon dioxide and other “greenhouse gases.” Why?
