Student Comments: What is Justice?
- Doing the right thing, making sure that no bad deed goes unpunished.
- right behavior or treatment.
- Encourages communal benefit within a society.
- Bringing peace and equality to an area/community.
- right thing and being punished if you don't.
- Moral action taken to handle certain situations. However, because morality can sometimes be subjective, I also believe that justice is subjective.
- Doing what is right. This debate changes within different cultural norms.
- Treating people fairly and respectfully and understanding right from wrong.
- It is the proper way to answer/approach an issue or ethical dilemma. It is when the right outcome is drawn from a difficult situation.
- Discerning what is morally right from what is morally wrong and working towards what is morally right.
- Looking at social issues and see them from multiple points of view before trying to find a way to solve the problem at hand.
- Making morally and ethically correct decisions for the betterment and growth of society
- An equal playing field for all people.
- Giving back to people who need help helping themselves.
- Doing what is right whether or not it is what society thinks is right.
- Making decisions based on your perception of right and wrong.
- follow through with laws.
- fairness, equality, morality, being reasonable.
- Creating a level playing field for all members of a community. Providing a standard fairness across all peoples.
- An ideal for the way society should respond to any situation. The ideal relies on basic morality/ethics and the understanding of common truths.
- Resolution to a conflict.
- Doing the right thing in order to help the community and the future
- A just action that excludes the negativity in a community.
- For example, policemen that come together with young black children to make sure they express to the children that there is no separation or divide between the two races.
- The righteous solution to a problem.
- A course of ethical action that reaps the most benefits for a given community. Given this, just actions would effectively uphold principles like dignity, fairness, and equality.
- In practice, justice in its purest form is supposed to be "blind"; it transcends factors like race, religion, gender, etc. to substantiate a set of standards for people to act in a way that would best maintain an honorable society.
- Fairness for all
- Doing the right thing and learning how to make good choices.
- Acting on your conscious to lead a situation to what you believe is a moral conclusion.
- Concept of moral rightness that incorporates ethics, rationality, and fairness.
- Evening out a wrong that someone has committed.

- Stuart Quotes (Background Information)
- J.E. Stuart Quote 1: What does this mean?
“There are two ways of preparing children for the government of themselves in after-life, one direct and the other indirect. The first has its merits, it is quick in results, often very successful. It fosters piety, inculcates some clear principles, dictates the main lines of action, and by rule and maxim, fits the being into its place in the world, and gives it means to do its duty creditably. The indirect method is longer and less clearly defined. It aims at giving a guiding light within, and power to climb a difficult path, and pick a way through unknown country by that light. This must be waited for, and slowly developed, but in the end it is of greater worth. The training of the Sacred Heart aims at this.”
- (2017) Stuart's quote gives two different possibilities for finding oneself. The first possibility is a clear-cut path that for the most part results in success, but lacks freedom. On the other hand, the second possibility doesn't provide a calculated method. Rather, it's nebulous and allows for freedom and growth, which Stuart believes to be more worthwhile.
- (2017) Sacred Heart educators commit themselves to educating students not only through sheer discipline and the transfer of knowledge, but also through an example filled with ambition. Yes, teachers set an example for their students. While not all students may wish to teach in schools, all students should be able to teach other people as that is the only way that humanity advances forward. Sacred Heart educators like Stuart understood that it's important that through a guiding practice of teaching, teachers will enable students to become the best they can be. This methods allows students to develop their individual talents and make original findings, separate from the knowledge exemplified by the first method of teaching with textbook learning.
- (2016) I think Janet Erskine Stuart was trying to convey that a Sacred Heart education doesn't exactly give you a straight answer, but rather helps develop your thought process to help us make tough decisions. As well as this it will help us go through the unknown that is life after High School and College where those skills will be necessary.
- (2016) Perhaps what Janet Erskine Stuart meant by writing this quote is that a sacred heart [sic] education should strive to teach students a growth mindset that they can apply to all situations in their lives, as opposed to teaching students how to be good cogs in the system. Ultimately the sacred heart [sic] aims to provide both educational systems.
J.E. Stuart Quote 2: What does this mean?
“We bring up our children for the future not for the present, not that we may enjoy the fruit of our work but for others, for God, for the Church, for their parents, for their home life. Therefore we have to do with things raw and unfinished, and unpolished. The children will come to us untaught and leave us half-taught. We sketch a plan but never see the crowning of the edifice. So we must remember that it is better to begin a great work than to finish a small one . . . So in every order great beginnings are better than little endings. We can only see the work in the rough, it may look ugly and yet be full of promise. A piece of finished insignificance is no success. We sometimes meet children of this type, who have a very small ideal, a very narrow horizon, but they never really take our stamp, or are true children of the Sacred Heart. Our Education is not meant to turn them out small and finished, but seriously begun on a wide basis. Wise parents see this and appreciate it. We are satisfied if our children leave us with some self-knowledge, some energy, some purpose.”
