The history of law and justice is the history of civilization‚ and law itself is only the blessed tie that binds human society together. Our ancestors had no idea of redress beyond vengeance‚ or of justice beyond only individual reprisal. The law‚ like everything we do and like everything we say‚ is a heritage from the past. We just follow in their footsteps and carry on with it‚ and keep it in today’s society‚ only to prevent chaos and keep a social society running smoothly. Greeks‚ Romans‚ Egyptians

In the excerpts of Plato’s‚ The Republic a crucial concept that became presented was the concept of justice. While carrying a conversation with Socrates‚ Polemarchus‚ Thrasymachus and Glaucon‚ each presented polarizing beliefs on justice. Though Socrates badgered‚ refuted‚ and worked to find fallacies within their ideas‚ the one that fits our current society is that of Glaucon. His position on justice can be summarized with a quote saying‚ “People love it‚ not because it is a good thing‚ but because

The conventional accounts of Justice normally begin by stating a fundamental rule of Aristotle – Justice is to treat equals equally and unequals unequally‚ and that unequal treatment should be in proportion to the inequality. In everyday life though‚ justice is seen as an attribute of law‚ while all laws are not necessarily just. Many great socio- political movements of the world have focused from time to time on unjust laws eg Apartheid laws in South Africa and Caste laws in India. Impartiality
