  8. I'm so glad that you can join me today for
  9. a brief biography and professional accomplishment discussion of the late
  10. philosopher john Rawls, john Rawls is a name known to
  11. be synonymous with social justice in the academic world.
  12. He was born in February on February 21, 1921, in
  13. Baltimore Maryland.
  14. He died November 24, 2002 in Lexington Massachusetts.
  15. According to Dunagan, Rolls argued, is argued by many to
  16. be the most important political philosopher of the 20th century
  17. rules, was the second of five Children and received his
  18. bachelor's degree from Princeton in 1943.
  19. From there, he served in the army for two years
  20. and then Rolls returned to Princeton to earn his PhD
  21. in moral philosophy.
  22. Rawls was later a professor at Princeton Cornell and Harvard
  23. Rawls was married to Margaret Marred War Field facts in
  24. 1949 and they had four Children.
  25. Together roles really shunned the limelight and rarely gave interviews.
  26. It has pointed out that rawls had a study and
  27. actively avoided talking in public situations.
  28. Social justice is based on historical context.
  29. This was a big piece of the social justice theory
  30. that Rolls presented in his academic works.
  31. According to Bankston.
  32. The roles in approach to social justice is based on
  33. two historical experiences and expanding mass consumption economy after World
  34. War Two and the acceptance of the civil rights movement
  35. to serve as a guide for thinking about societal relations.
  36. Mass consumption after World War Two drove America to become
  37. known as an influence society.
  38. According to Bankston, the issue was not in producing sufficient
  39. goods, but in distributing what was produced.
  40. Many argued that americans were spending too much on private
  41. consumption and this was detrimental to public interest.
  42. For example, production of private consumer goods left the poor
  43. behind the rest of society and many students in substandard
  44. educational settings.
  45. This brought out, according to Bankston, the desire to redistribute
  46. good goods towards the disadvantaged in a society of mass
  47. consumption was consistent with a version of kenya's an economic
  48. logic. Many argued that government spending needed to be directed
  49. towards the marginal of society.
  50. The other historical context needed to understand roles approach to
  51. social justice is the civil rights movement.
  52. The civil rights era ushered in a movement that brought
  53. significant change to how americans understand relations among people.
  54. While the D notation of civil rights is understood to
  55. mean citizens rights, The connotation came to encompass citizens rights
  56. that the government actively protects.
  57. According to Bankston retold in a series of moral drama
  58. events, prominent heroes such as martin Luther King Jr and
  59. his I've a dream speech still speak to our current
  60. generation as inspiration for the poor disadvantaged to keep hope
  61. and belief in trying times.
  62. This is what changed the social vision of America.
  63. People began to recognize that there were groups of people
  64. needing governmental protection.
  65. Bankston reminds us that formal theories of social values are
  66. derived from broader moral perspectives, which shows us the foundation
  67. that Rolls built his theory on some professional contributions.
  68. The main professional contribution for john Rawls was a theory
  69. of justice.
  70. In his main contribution, Rules began with the idea of
  71. justice is fairness.
  72. As summed up by Bankston, the fairness is achieved through
  73. examining the structure of society and internal divisions.
  74. To ensure equal access for all, essentially, Rolls was interested
  75. in how humans might structure society to ensure fairness for
  76. all, not knowing what their particular role in that society
  77. would be within this hypothetical society or two principles of
  78. justice, each person should have equal rights to liberty is
  79. enjoyed by all, and that inequality should be arranged that
  80. they would be to everyone's advantage.
  81. So, back to browse theory, he maintained that people will
  82. choose the social structure that benefits the unknowing chooser if
  83. he happens to end up in the least desirable position,
  84. thus ensuring equity for all.
  85. However, john Rawls theory was not met without criticism.
  86. A colleague of rules, philosopher robert Nozick argued that assumptions
  87. beneath Rolls theory of social justice, a redistribution of resources
  88. and goods to the disadvantaged knows that contradicted rules theory,
  89. by stating according to Bankston, that people produce all resources
  90. and they have rights to the things that they produce.
  91. If redistribution is used as a means to improve the
  92. condition of the least advantaged.
  93. This could be viewed as unjust because it forces people
  94. to work in voluntarily for others and deprives people who
  95. worked to create goods and opportunities by redistributing their efforts
  96. to others who did not work to produce them.
  97. This could cross intention further contributions by rules.
  98. In response to criticisms during his lifetime, rows published two
  99. revisions of a Theory of Justice, one in 1975 and
  100. one in 1999.
  101. He also elaborated and redefined his arguments and social justice
  102. as fairness.
  103. A restatement in 2001.
  104. These works essentially reiterated rolls idea of fairness in society.
  105. Additional works include political liberalism, the law of Peoples, lectures
  106. on the history of moral philosophy and lectures on the
  107. history of political philosophy, john Rawls still today is known
  108. as the guru on social justice.
  109. As a result of his work, the National Association of
  110. Social Workers States that social justice is the view that
  111. everyone deserves equal economic, political and social rights and opportunities.
  112. Social workers came to open the doors of access and
  113. opportunity for everyone, particularly those greatest in need who were
  114. the focus of rails at work.
  115. In conclusion, here's my list of references.
  116. Thank you for joining me for this presentation
