Abstract
This paper examines some of the current literature on the subject of "economic justice" to look at both sides of the picture, identifies a few major issues, and draws conclusions from the review. It explains that if we look at the economic conditions in the present day world we would find that we are further from the ideal of economic justice than ever before. It shows how this is reflected in the rising inequality between the rich and the poor, both at the intra-country and inter-country levels ,and the crippling debt of the under-developed countries.

From the Paper
"Reflecting the intellectual divide on most political and economic issues, there are basically two diametrically opposite views on the subject of economic justice. This is not necessarily a bad thing as it enables one to examine alternate opinions, but it does have the drawback of creating confusion it becomes hard to decipher fact from fiction as the opposing schools of thought tend to "bend" arguments to suit their view-points. In any case, the rightist/ neo-liberal point of view holds that the present economic world order (represented by globalization and laissez faire economy, supported by the Bretton Wood institutions) is the path leading to global economic salvation. The leftist or alternate point of view propagates that the present economic order is promoting growing inequality between the rich and the poor and is the antithesis of "economic justice.""

Abstract
The writer looks into the consequences of the merger wave and how those consequences will eventually impact the allocation of private and social goods and services to individuals in our communities. The paper defines the terms and analyses the potentially dangerous outcome of the growth of large corporations.

From the Paper
"Several philosophers have gone beyond merely considering the foregoing concepts of justice and principles of distribution, to develop alternative theories of justice in economic distribution in which these concepts and principles " . . . can be assessed and then modified, discarded or defended." Let me now begin a discussion of these economic theories, namely, the views of utilitarianism and libertarianism, as well as John Rawls's ideas about distributive justice. Thereafter, I will examine Rawls's theory of justice more closely and consider the arguments in favor of and in opposition to his primary propositions."

Introduction
Defining the Scope and Impact of the Question
Moral Methodology for Approaching Solution
Analysis and Discussion
Conclusion

From the Paper
"In today's economically driven world where the placement of focus and personal achievement is determined by the size of one's bank account or net worth, churches and theologians have had to come to issue with how one can balance a traditionally moral life in today's often immoral world. Out of this struggle arose the theories of economic justice and financial responsibility. The essence of these combinations is to bring traditional moral values into economics, thus allowing one to live a moral life through the proper use of their wealth."

From the Paper
"Jonathan Kozol's two books, Rachel and Her Children and Savage Inequalities put actual people under the microscope of his compassionate gaze. Kozol's books demonstrate that the concept of community is one that may be seen in too limited a way in the United States. The children who are trying to become educated and the families who try to live in East Saint Louis, Illinois, certainly have a community of their own but their community does not have any of the economic resources of some of the wealthier Chicago suburbs that he uses as a contrast.

Abstract
The paper outlines the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 and the 'Justice for All Act' of 2004. The paper then discusses the many injustices in the courtroom and considers the barriers that stand in the way of all individuals experiencing the same level of justice. The paper reaches the conclusion that it is unrealistic to achieve justice for all.

Introduction
World Justice
Justice for All Act of 2004
Justice in the Courtroom
Barriers to Justice for All
Examination of Factors Affecting Justice
Summary and Conclusion

From the Paper
"In 1948 the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the United Nations and was an initiative chaired by Eleanor Roosevelt. This declaration was formulated with the intention of providing a definition of universal human rights and to promote observance of them and as well focuses on equality and fair treatment. This declaration also affirms the rights of the individual to property, nationality, marriage and family, religion and thought, peaceable assembly, participation in government, social security, work, rest, healthy standards of living, education, and cultural expression. Within the framework of this declaration are the rights and freedoms of all individuals to give and receive respect of one another and their own individual rights which are stated in the limitations of law that everyone is subject to."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the issue of human justice. The paper uses the health care system as an example. The paper argues that human justice never be achieved in a health care system that gives patients less quality of care based on the patient's race or ethnicity, socio-economic class, gender or personal morality.

From the Paper
"Further factors that create inequities throughout the health care system are issues dealing with morality. A primary example of this is that gay men and lesbians receive less adequate health care. Twice as many gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered American citizens are without health insurance compared to the general population. (Quittner 2004) Although the overall availability of domestic partner benefits has increased, most health care benefits are not available to domestic partners, and health insurance through a spouse or family member is the most common way people get health insurance. Since homosexual couples are not allowed to get married, health insurance benefits are not available through these means. Additionally, gay and lesbian patients face particular prejudice from "homophobic" health care providers, and may avoid seeking health care if they suspect that they will encounter such prejudice (Quittner 2004). Furthermore, some health care practitioners may actually refuse treatment of some patients based on religious or moral objections, and in some states doctors' rights to do this may soon be protected by law. Bills have been introduced in Arkansas, Michigan, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, and West Virginia that would give health care workers, from doctors to pharmacists, the right to refuse treatment or medication to any patient based on ethical, moral, or religious reasons, while in Georgia health care professionals are already legally allowed to discriminate based on their own moral or ethical beliefs (Kuhr 2005).

Abstract
The paper contends that any solution that hopes to revise the American criminal justice system must address five issues. The paper details these issues: A lack of racial parity in criminal justice, a lack of socio-economic parity, overcrowding in the courts, overcrowding in the prisons and the rehabilitation of the thousands of prisoners when they are released.

From the Paper
"That the criminal justice system in the United States is biased is beyond dispute. Statistics abound that all confirm the same thing; if you are white and wealthy in the US, the odds that you will end up in jail are remarkably slim. Felony convictions send a disproportionately high number of African American and Hispanic men to prison, while their Caucasian counterparts remain free. The reasons behind this phenomenon are many - too many to be listed in this brief overview."

Abstract
The paper looks at three U.S. states - Florida, California, and New York State - and examines the extent to which minorities are significantly over-represented in the penal system/detention facilities of these jurisdictions; because young people are the future of this country, and because youths who find themselves in trouble with the law early in life will undoubtedly fall into trouble later in life, as well, special attention is devoted to the experiences of minorities in the criminal justice systems of each of the three states. The type of approach the writer is pursuing in addressing this problem is, in its initial stages, two-fold: firstly, the available literature is reviewed to show that, without question, there is a serious problem that needs to be confronted; and, secondly, the paper looks at a variety of studies that suggest alternatives to the current conventional practice of merely "locking up" minorities who commit crimes without appreciating the sociological and economic factors that predispose them towards crime. As the third step of the proceedings, a comparative analysis is undertaken of the criminal processing records in each of the states mentioned above and whether or not minorities are more likely to be subjected to lengthy prison terms than whites who commit the same crimes.

Abstract
This paper reviews the illegal immigration problem facing the United States. Specifically, the paper takes a look at how sloppy criminal justice management within the judiciary and the poor work of the bureaucratic apparatus has made illegal immigration an ever-growing threat to Americans. The paper takes the time to outline the failing processes within both systems (with most of the emphasis falling upon the judiciary) and the paper also provides recommendations which might serve both well in the near future. As an addendum, it should be added that the paper contains a brief literature review.

From the Paper
"For all its shortcomings, the American justice system is still among the best in the world. That being said, there are certain undeniable concerns about the manner in which the system is being managed which will not go away until the problems which provoked those concerns in the first place finally go away. In recent years, one of the more pressing concerns facing the American justice system has been illegal immigration. In particular, Americans have been inundated with stories enumerating not only the growth of illegal immigration but the growth also of crimes committed by illegal immigrants. Needless to say, rampant illegal entry into America constitutes a legitimate threat to US sovereignty and it also constitutes a threat to the physical and material well-being of law-abiding American citizens."

Abstract
This brief paper discusses the criminal justice system. The system is described and its major components are delineated. Specific types of crime are also discussed.

From the Paper
"Simply put, a crime is a violation of criminal laws. Criminal behavior is handled through the criminal justice system which consists of those structures and processes associated with the enforcement of the criminal law, by which crime is investigated, arrests are made, evidence is gathered, charges are brought, defenses are offered, trials are conducted, sentences are rendered and punishment is carried out, The above processes can be divided, according to Neubauer, into..."
