    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Systemic disadvantages can be unjust without entailing that current institutions have corrective obligations—past injustices shape baseline conditions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Rawlsian ideals apply to well-ordered societies; imperfectly just institutions may lack sufficient legitimacy to ground new corrective duties.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Distinguishing systemic from institutional disadvantage preserves space for individual, cultural, or non-governmental corrective responses outside state obligation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Rawls's difference principle requires inequalities benefit the least advantaged, making structural disadvantages failing this test unjust by definition.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If disadvantages are truly unjust rather than merely systemic, institutions causing them bear remedial responsibility, not passive acceptance.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Framing injustice as 'merely systemic' obscures agent accountability and permits institutional inaction that Rawlsian justice forbids.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
