Justice is defined according to dictionary.com as “the quality of being just; righteousness, equitableness, or moral rightness”. Justice and injustice are relative terms, as justice for one may be injustice to the other. “The Theory of Relative Justice” implies that “we are living in a world of Relative Justice”. In order to protect the rights of majority population, we have compromised the rights of the minority. If it were to happen that the minority becomes the majority “The Theory of Relative Justice” will still prevail. “The Doctrine of Relative Justice” is an applied approach in which the benefits of majority population are of paramount consideration and perhaps application of Relative justice may not be a bad choice. “The Theory of Relative Justice” can be considered independent of majority and minority status. Practicing relative justice may be considered a better approach than practicing no Justice. Absolute Justice may seem to be a utopian dream to some; however it is desirable and achievable.
