What will be an ideal response?


Distributive justice refers to moral views about how to best distribute earnings or winnings (such as in a game).
In middle childhood, children initially distribute earnings equally to all participants without regard to effort, but toward the end of middle childhood they believe in distributing equal amounts only if people exerted equal effort or provided equal help.
They also begin to believe that unfortunate or poor children should receive some of the earnings from each of the more advantages people.
Just and unjust laws states that children who were told about a hypothetical country and asked if its laws were fair were able to discriminate between good and bad laws on the basic of whether the laws were socially beneficial, whether they respected people’s rights, and whether they did no harm to people.
