Justice - GCSE Religious Studies Definition

Reviewed by: Bridgette Barrett

Published

Justice is the idea of being fair and making sure everyone is treated equally and with respect. In the context of religious studies, many religions teach that justice is an important value and believe that people should act with fairness and honesty in all their actions. Justice means giving people what they deserve, whether it’s punishment for doing something wrong or rewards for doing something right. It also involves making sure that laws are followed and ensuring everyone has the same chance to succeed, without any unfair advantages or discrimination. Justice helps to build a society where people can trust one another and live in harmony.
