Reflection On Justice In Social Transformation Period Of Contemporary China

Now, China is in the transformation period from traditional society to modern society. With the change in social structure and the modernization of social life, justice appears increasingly to be a hot and tough problem of contemporary China. To solve this problem, first, we have to give a scientific definition to justice, to analyze its intention, essence, characteristics, types and principles. Then, we will analyze its cause and features against the background of transformation, and finally we will search for reliable avenues to its solution and the implementation of social justice.The thesis scientifically defines justice as the justified human relations (or behaviors) concerning proper benefits, and in nature, justice requires us to distribute benefits reasonably. So, justice belongs to the category of relation, value, social history and objective, and also it has its own range of adaptability.

Justice is vital to modern China, with the developing of market economy and democratic politics, and heading for a pluralistic society, because market economy calls for justice, democratic politics calls for justice, and the pluralistic society calls for justice. Societies with different natures are different in the basicnature and concrete intentions of justice.
