Document Summary
Victims want the offender to know the impact the crime has had on their lives and they want to know that the crime won"t happen others/what they can do to ensure that the incident doesn"t happen to others. Welfare: the good of a person or group. Welfare: markets provide incentives for people to work hard by supplying what other people want, unchecked prices are not good, because they are a burden to many in society. Freedom: markets respect individual freedom by not imposing value on goods and services. Virtue: greed can be a virtue: a good way of being. It might, for example, foster creativity & enterprise: greed is a vice: a bad way of being. People are being treated in a way that they don"t deserve. Justice related to rights should not rest on any particular virtues: a just society respects each person"s freedom to choose his or her own conception of the good life.
