What makes a society just?

A just society has a ruler that is fair and listens to the opinions of all people. The ruler can also control his/her people, is a good negotiator, and believes everyone is equal. A just society also has an honor code that is enforced with punishments and rewards. I believe if a honor code has positive and negative enforcement, it is more likely to be followed. I also believe that people are born good or bad, but their environment can have an affect on it also. In a just society, the people raise all their children to be good people and they help the ones that are born naturally bad. The government in a just society should also help spread the wealth more evenly, so some people don't have more power and opportunities than others. 
To judge "society" one must first determine what society is. Society can be considered the people within a given area or social class, but it would seem today many people call society the general public excluding themselves. I have many times seen people on the book of faces blaming society. They blame it for suicide, bullying, drug abuse, rape, and any bad things imaginable. It's strange how people can blame society for all of their problems, yet they don't say who or what society really is. So what makes a society just? Firstly it must recognize itself as a collective society. Secondly it must uphold standards agreed upon by everyone involved, and finally it must have people in it with something in common. If these are all achieved then it will be successful, however not always just. 

Just Society

To have a just society, numerous factors are necessary, such as a strong leader and people that make the right decisions and agree on a simple level. People learn from the society. The decisions they make are based off the society. They will not do something that a society will not approve, because the people in the society will think differently of them. A leader is responsible for the decisions of a community, not what other personal choices. A good leader will do everything necessary to make his or her society the best it can be. A leader is not responsible for a persons decisions. A leader has no control on what others do. They society will shape the decisions a person makes, because that is where they are known. A leader will make a strong society, which will help peoples decisions.

What makes a society just?

In order to make a society just there needs to be a ruler that can lead and represent the land correctly. the people of the country need to be good law abiding people there can not be a high crime people of the society need to trust each other. The govt. should only get involved if the situation may majorly effect the country otherwise they should allow the people to manage themselves. If the people can trust the govt. and the govt. can trust the people the govt. can give its people more freedom to make decisions.

What makes society just?

In a just society people are morally good. For a just society it really depends on our own ideas of what just means. I believe it is helping others and acting responsible. This is my idea but many others would disagree. We all generate our ideas of the perfect or just society. It is personal preference. Society is just as long as we make it what we want. That may sound confusing but I mean we use our ideas of what a just society could be and we spread it. We tell as many people as possible. We then become a leader in the movement of reshaping society. Then a just society in your own terms. So society is just when you make it just.
