WebBlog 3 = David Miller's Scope of Social justice

Through the writings of David Miller and his essay on The Scope of Social Justice, he first introduced the theory of social justice by the late nineteenth century early twentieth century to the liberal societies in America. In the previous Omela story the first theory was based on the fact that life was almost perfect and in a way they could do as they please without having to worry about everyone else. Everyone was equal but everyone lived a life of solidarity through the many different ways of the Omela people during the festival.

As Miller's ideas and writing progressed he first spoke of his concept that philosophers describe social justice as an aspect of distributive justice and how these divisions of justice were found in many different associations, fairly. As said in Blog 1, the theory of freeing inhibitions and living equally but individually is the same idea as the distributive justice that Miller writes in his essay.

Miller talks about social justice being obtained as a way of welfare or aid. He tells us that he feels in order for social justice to be a way of guiding peoples behavior that it needs to assure the thoughts shown restraining the guidelines have to have fair principles and procedures so people actually follow them. In the Omela story many there weren't any specific guidelines introduced to us as a reader except the procedures and guidelines that were implied. The questions that Miller seems to be asking us are questions of how can these people have this culture if we can assume they get tired of it towards the end of their life.

This leads me to my second theory in the Omela story, about how as people get older they tend lose sight of those good habits and get caught up in the slow moving, days passing by, mentality. The Omela people are just ordinary people living equal lives in their community. Every area in which people live in is different and no matter where you live you have to make the most of your scenarios. Why sit through life and waste time when you can be out there in life, enjoying every minute of it doing what you love to do, working hard to achieve those goals?
