[edit] Is Justice always Fair?

It is difficult to accept that justice is always fair. Justice depends on the form it takes in a society that is generally acceptable to the majority of the population. Different societies will have different definitions of justice, and thereofore what is fair in one society may seem horribly unfair in another. The terms fairness, justice, morality and ethics are all quite similar in this regard, and as such should not be used as a princple to any universal argument.--H.A.L.
