Description

Justice was once thought to be culturally specific; so no general standard of justice applied.  Both the idea of an inborn sense of justice and gloabalization have played important roles in the development of a general (global) idea of justice.  A concern with global justice often focuses on unjust treatment of people of non-western countries by people from western countries.  Both international aid and the various forms of security are affected by the idea of and demands for global justice.

Please Note: All students studying at Murdoch University will need to complete the compulsory unit, Murdoch Academic Passport (MAP100), which only takes 2-3 hours to complete online. Find out more: http://goto.murdoch.edu.au/MurdochAcademicPassport.
