Mechanisms Of Citizen Justice Quality Culture

As an important value in modern society, justice is not only the primary virtue ofthe social system, but also is the baseline virtue of the citizens. It has importanttheoretic value to study citizens’ justice character, which is helpful of promotingvirtue theory and enrich justice and virtue theory. Moreover, it has important meaningfor reality in rectifying the deviation of virtue education, making up for the deficiencyof the institutional justice and promoting the stability and duration of a good—orderedsociety.What’s the justice? Different thinkers share different views towards justiceduring the east and west history, Chinese traditional ethics represented byConfucianism, Buddhism and Taoism explain justice mostly from the perspective ofsocial human relations, which regard justice as virtue built on humanity and love andindividual can make a clear distinction between right and wrong. However, westernscholars who regard freedom, equality, safety and common welfare as fundamentalvalue of justice and interpret justice mostly from social value. Though differentthinkers hold different views towards justice result from different standpoints andstudying perspective, they all realize that justice is not only a kind of rules, but avirtue. Justice requires that duties taken by individuals are equal to rights enjoyed bythem for justice involves social interactive activities.What’s the base of the citizens’ justice character of human nature theory? Suchissue involves whether justice character can be cultivated, so we must confront itbefore studying cultivating mechanism of citizens’ justice character. In general,humans’ natural properties is the human nature root of citizens’ justice character,humans’ social properties is the key factor decide citizen obtain justice character, andhumans’ spiritual properties make justice character as a value pursuit rooted in heart,they realize the unification between idealism of justice pursuit and realism of justicepractice. Consequently, human itself included by natural properties, social propertiesand spiritual properties make the justice character as the nature of human to be human.It can be clearly seen that justice is not merely rooted in human nature, moreimportantly, it realize that human transcend itself through social procession ofindividual, justice is not merely a kind of baseline virtue, is also a kind oftranscendence virtue. Because justice character is rooted in human nature, the development of citizens’ justice character has inner forming mechanism. Nevertheless,justice can’t realize the transcendence to human nature without social practice activityof individual, which make the construction of outer education and institutional justicebecome more significant.As it seen from the general development procession of individual morality, theself—development of citizens’ justice character undergone three periods inturns—from natural justice period in childhood when guild one’s behavior simply onthe ground of happiness and pains to adolescent social justice period when conductone’s behavior according to the prescription of the social surroundings and then to ahigh—level spiritual justice period when conduct one’s behavior in accordance withone’s conscience. Specifically speaking, children get the justice cognition byperception and their justice idea is built on self—satisfaction to their natural need.While as lack of rational cognition and moral understanding, the experimenting formof children’s justice sense mainly focus on situation—institution experience with thecharacter of spontaneity, compulsiveness and shortness of their justice willingnesswithout consciousness and self—mastering, children practice justice by way ofabsolutely obedience to authority and evil off—setting punishment. Adolescence,during the justice period of rational cognition, they develop social justice notion onthe basis of equality and reciprocity principle under their social needs satisfactionwith the expression of guilt and indignation on their justice sense. They can obeysocial public norm to practice justice with the character of consciousness andself—controlling and realism of their justice willingness comparing with children’s.During the highest development period of citizens’ justice character, adults cancognize and understand justice dialectically and comprehensively and judge justiceaccording to human rights and conscience and form justice notion with commonmorality as nucleus. In this moment, justice principle has become the inner part of theindividual moral. Adult’s justice sense is a kind of stable moral feeling built on thefoundation of individual’s justice belief, the character generality, reality and freedomof their justice willingness decide the duration and stability of individual’s justicebehavior. In other words, the inner forming procession of citizens’ justice character isa development procession from care oneself to other and then ascend to attendingoneself and other properly when justice social norm will evolve internally and gradually to individual’s values and responsibility with the purpose of conductingindividual to make right moral judgment and justice practice.To external cultivating mechanism of citizens’justice character, citizen educationis the nucleus, economic distribution justice is the key and politics justice is safeguard.Specifically speaking, citizen education system with citizen justice virtue education asmain subject is the main channel and position of cultivating citizens’ justice character,economic distribution justice plays an exemplary and leading role in the practiceactivities of citizens’ justice character, judicial justice system in the political fieldregulates and safeguards citizens’ justice practice behavior via compulsory measures.Especially in nowadays with political democratization, economic globalization andcultural diversification, citizens’ justice cognitive and feeling are affected andrestricted by pluralistic interest structure and pluralistic cultural values, justicewillingness and belief become less steady day by day and moral conscious declining,consequently, more attention should be paid to the construction of social political andeconomic system justice which adapt to the delivery of justice thoughts theory whenstrengthening citizens’ justice character cultivation and education, mainly to thejudicial justice system in the political field and distribution justice system in theeconomic field, the two systems not only affects citizens’ justice cognitive and feeling,also affects the forming of citizens’ justice behavior and habit in some ways byrational distribution of citizens’ rights and duties. In conclusion, the cultivation ofcitizens’ justice character not only needs microscopic citizen education activities asfoundation, also need to take political and economic system as external surroundingsguarantee.
