Philosophical theories of justice tend to restrict the meaning of social justice to the distribution of benefits and burdens. The allocation of material goods or social positions, neglects the social structure and institutional context that determine distributive patterns. Concerning nonmaterial social goods, distribution represents them as static. Tendency to conceive social justice and distribution as coextensive concepts. The paradigm assumes a single model for all analyses of justice.
