It can be applied to a particular event, situation or a larger status quo. According to the four philosophers namely; Kant, Buddha, Plato and Jean-Paul Sartre, justice and injustice are viewed differently.

They also appear to be fundamentally concerned with instilling a kind of moral humility. This is calmest to see with the help of one of Sartre’s unforgettable examples. Majority of individuals are not this contemplatively alert of themselves. Sartre assumed this was because human beings have an affinity to see themselves as able, open-ended, incomplete and work in progress.
