As in what quality makes anything ethical, moral, or just?
A man has raped a woman. This is unethical, immoral, and unjust. This man is put in jail. Is this ethical, moral, and just? Why? Does this mean that a man who has been imprisoned for an equal amount of time is allowed one rape?
There is an underlying question here, as well. I think it can be said that rape is a horrible crime. What makes it unethical, immoral, and unjust? Or is it that in our society it is these things, while it may not be in another.
Are these qualities always indisputable? A man murders another man. The second man was going to launch a terrorist attack. There is no evidence. Now what?
