Justice in the Philippines

Justice is not an essential human aspiration but also a basic prerequisite for any society to function normally. This may seem like a simple question to answer but for many in today’s society a is not. Individuals throughout society have their own distinctive explanation of justice. It is a word in which, to every person has a different meaning Although Justice has a vast list of meanings, it can somewhat be defined. Loosely, it can be defined as the principal of fairness and the ideal of moral equity. Justice is at the center of every debate, involving our criminal justice system.
Justice, as a concept, applies after the fact of an insult to equality or by other criminal behavior or activities. Having your investment portfolio stolen is a crime that demands intervention for justice, in an attempt to correct the theft and punish the wrongdoer. Although the definitions are vast and complicated, what justice means to me is being punished for a crime that was committed. Seeing that the offender pays for what they have done. This so called punishment usually entails some type of prison sentence. For many people justice has the same meaning. But is it justice if a person kills another because that person previously hurt his or her child, or what about someone else who killed someone accidentally or in self defense? Is justice taking “an eye to an eye? ” how exactly should the punishment fit the crime? This scenario is not justice to me two wrongs do not make a right. I believe a person should be punished to the fullest extent for a crime but there are certain ways to go about accomplishing this.Like in our country you need power or money to gain a justice.
