The Rule of Social Adjustment in Social Justice

In both the economic and social sphere, numerous forms of inequality and uncertainty have created injustices within society. The major factors of inequality include an unjust and imperfect distribution of social and economic resources, the element of risk that exists within a market economy, the “hereditary” element of the family, and individual talent and ability. If inequality and uncertainty are allowed to develop “freely,” they will cause numerous injustices. Many forms of inequity can be eliminated and risk factors can be avoided through the implementation of social adjustment, so as to ensure the stable operation and healthy development of society. There are two specific objectives of social adjustment: first, to provide a “safety net” that guarantees the people’s basic survival; second, to improve their quality of life and development ability. In concrete terms, social adjustment implies realizing full employment, adopting reasonable taxation, implementing effective social welfare policies, vigorously developing education, creating an equitable social environment, and so on.
