This essay will talk about the meanings of freedom, equality and justice. It will also explain why these ideas are important, exploring the context of these meanings. . The word liberalism comes from the Latin “liber”, which designates a class of free men (Heywood, 2012). According to Hoffman and Graham (2015), liberalism has become the dominant ideology in the world (Hoffman and Graham, 2015). Liberalism prioritizes “right” over “good” (Heywood, 2012). The concept of political freedom is closely linked to the concept of civil liberties and human rights. The basis of a democratic society is that the state must defend the freedom of every citizen with all available resources, whether institutional, legal or moral. Liberalism has a set of principles. Justice is giving someone what they deserve (Heywood, 2012). According to Heywood (2012), “Justice is a moral standard of fairness and impartiality…” (Heywood, 2012, p. 33). The liberal theory of justice is based on a belief in equality (Heywood, 2012). Equality of opportunity means that employment and services must be equally accessible to all. The two principles of justice are thought to correspond to society's judgments about what is just and unjust (Farrelly, 2004). The fundamental idea of ​​John Rawls, one of the leading political philosophers, was that justice is a requirement of fairness. Fairness is a requirement of impartiality (Sen, 2010). His work, Theory of Justice (1970), is based on the idea of ​​justice and fairness, and he argues that this is the basic structure of society (Hoffman & Graham, 2015). Rawls presents justice as fairness as a “political conception of justice” (Farrelly, 2004). In his Theory of Justice, there are two main principles of justice. The first is equal freedoms, meaning that every individual has the right to freedom of speech, to vote, or to a fair trial. The second are equality of opportunity and the difference principle (Hoffman & Graham, 2015). It is also called distributive economic justice. Rawls argued that although all human beings are born equal, they sometimes end up being unequal due to the social circumstances in which they grow up and the different opportunities available to them (Boucher and Kelly, 2009). These different circumstances can lead to an unequal distribution of income and wealth. Income inequality undermines the goal of equality of opportunity.
