Discussion 2
What is a just society? Which of the three theories of economic justice discussed in Chapter Three (utilitarian, libertarian, or Rawls's theory) do you feel would best create such a society? Why have you selected this theory and rejected the others? If our society were to be structured to incorporate the theory that you selected, would there be any negative impacts on you or on those whom you care about? What would these be?
Discussion 1
According to many sources, such asthe U.S. Census Bureau,Global Issues, and theJoint Center for Poverty Research, the United States has a widening gap between the rich and the poor. Some say that such measures of poverty are exaggerated (Understanding Poverty and Economic Inequality in the United States). Which side is more persuasive? If we assume the gap is widening, is our current economic system ethically defensible? Is it ethical for the U.S. government to redistribute income through taxation from one group to another group in order to address the poverty of that group? Why or why not?
