Justice Everywhere: March 2015

Monday, 16 March 2015. Equal Suffering: for a just distribution of airplane flight routes. There is a long-standing debate in Belgium over the choice of flight routes around the national airport located northeast of the capital, Brussels. A plan last year that reorganized departure routes, routing the majority over densely populate areas of the capital, was met with strong protest from Brussels resident. In other words, what is a just distribution of suffering and risks caused by plane nuisance. A second...

Y, notable because all of its 152 residents have severe or extreme dementia. Hogewey. But many Alzheimer’s experts have praised the pioneering facility for being the first to adjust ‘our’ reality to allow those with dementia to be in a safe and comforting environment – one built around life rather than death.

Sunday, 26 October 2014. Two arguments on Scottish Independence, one for and one against. I was not personally affected by the vote for Scottish independence. What reasons do people give for and against Scottish independence? Of course, the Yes people have responded by saying that independence would not have such dire consequences. And may even have some economic benefits but their argument was still, for the most part, about national self-determination. More importantly, I think that there is a potentia...

Monday, 21 April 2014. Many thanks to everyone for a great season of posts and discussion. Justice Everywhere will return for a new season in May. Sunday, 13 April 2014. An Ethical Checklist for Military Intervention. The news has been greeted with jubilation on many social media sites. This post is a note of caution. And do more good than harm.
