Society is constantly searching for the true concept of justice. In theory, society is rather constantly searching for the true concept of justice. In reality, justice is often simply a word applied to broken concepts that those in power use to more effectively control those in their charge. This word is perhaps one of the most misused in all languages, in part because humanity has not yet fully understood what justice actually means on a universal level. Many of those who came before us may have thought they had identified the meaning, although it seems that as time passes, the view of justice changes with the times. Our minds would like to think that there is a true and pure form of justice, capable of withstanding the changing tides of the river of time and extending universally. It seems, however, that the more our species attempts to bind this concept, the more it escapes our intellectual understanding. Unfortunately, as with most things, the more we learn about this concept, the more we realize that we simply don't know it. For Plato, justice is the right order of everything in life, beginning with the soul and working its way through society. According to him, the soul is divided into three parts according to increasing levels of consciousness. The first division of the soul is the most fundamental and the one most aimed at obtaining the comforts of life at almost any cost. This division is called appetite because those who are governed by this division have an insatiable appetite for the desires of the world. The second division makes decisions based not on mere animal desires but on emotion and is called the spiritual division. The last sector is the reason for the division. This section is governed by logic and reasonable thinking and represents those who have reached the highest level...... middle of document...... actually be the answer to the real question of justice. However, this theory faces the same problem as Plato's theory. Communism only works on paper, in a sort of fantasy world. Getting everyone to accept that they are all completely equal to each other is just as difficult as getting them to accept that some people are inherently better than others. Furthermore, as we have seen in real-life examples of communism in action, human greed stands in the way of the emergence of a truly classless society. Communist societies have all fallen into complete dictatorship in which all the power and wealth belongs to a single person or a small group of people while the rest of society suffers in poverty. The equality offered by communism is just another twist on words used by those in power to control the people. This cannot be the justice humanity desperately seeks..
