Chapter 1388: The Theory of Justice
"Although you may be born with a golden spoon in your mouth, it is entirely possible that you will be born physically disabled and mentally disabled."
"Although it is very likely that you will strive to become an elite rich man, it is also very likely that you will become the poor of the poor in the competition."
"Therefore, to avoid a system that may leave people with nothing but no help, Rawls expresses his opinion in this book, arguing that, under the cover of the 'veil of ignorance,' he produces two principles of justice."
"One is to provide equal basic freedoms for all citizens, and this principle should take precedence over social utilitarianism and general welfare considerations, so that under such a premise, even if you become the weakest of the weak, you still have some basic power that no one can interfere with."
"The second principle is concerned with social and economic equality, and although it does not require an equal distribution of income and property, it allows for inequalities that benefit the most socially disadvantaged."
"Generally speaking, it means that the balance of the law is tilted in favor of the weak, and the principle of difference should be used to correct the unfairness caused by free competition."
Su Nan nodded when he heard this:
"Public policy should be appropriately tilted towards the weak, rather than letting the strong take everything, and it is the law of the jungle for the strong to take everything, but we are human society, and human society must have basic respect for the weak."
Song Tingchuan agrees with this.
The difference between humans and animals is actually here.
Seeing Song Tingchuan's approval, Su Nan finally smiled.
"When I have time, I must go to your class, this homeroom teacher of yours is so interesting."
Song Tingchuan bowed his head slightly and touched her forehead:
"You're always welcome, but there's an event you're sure to have time for."
"Huh?"
"Half a month later, Lao Du and I are going to participate in the school's moot court."
Su Nan raised his eyes, and his eyes lit up all of a sudden:
"That's cool!"
Both sides of the moot court wear regular lawyers' gowns.
Su Nan felt that Song Tingchuan must look good wearing that.
Song Tingchuan pinched her nose:
"Correct, it's not the moot court that's cool, it's your boyfriend who's cool."
Su Nan: "......"
It's here again.
Su Nan rolled his eyes:
"Come on, you, it must have been Du Fei who dragged you there, I don't believe that you would take the initiative to participate in the event if you are so lazy."
"Then you guessed wrong, this time it was really me who took the initiative."
"Huh?"
Su Nan was surprised.
How can it be?
"Because this moot court case is quite interesting."
"How?"
"This case mainly involves three parties, Xiao Ming, who is under the age of 12, unlocks the shared bicycle without using mobile phone software, and drives on a highway in the opposite direction."
"At this time, the ordinary light truck driven by Lao Li turned right at a speed of one kilometer per hour, and due to the negligence of both parties, neither party was found, resulting in Xiao Ming's shared bicycle being run over by an ordinary truck, and on the same day, Xiao Ming was declared dead because of the ineffective rescue."
"Since then, the public security department has stated two facts: first, Lao Li, as the driver, neglected to observe the road conditions when he turned right, and second, Xiao Ming was under the age of 12 and drove his bicycle in the opposite direction and neglected to observe the road conditions."
"Based on these two points, it is determined that both have a causal relationship with the accident, of which Xiao Ming is primarily responsible and Lao Li is secondarily responsible."
