This paper investigates what this means to public discourse, legitimacy, and our understanding of justice over the next few decades. Rawls suggests that we adopt our goals and values not just for ourselves, but also for the good of the society to which we belong. Soros suggests that as individuals seeking our own good in the market we follow selfish individual goals, but as recognized members of a community or society we can and must follow the good of society. But recognition as members of that community is often based on privilege, and identities may very well be socially constructed. All this leads us to hold some ideal of societal good, but to often deviate from that good for our own individual good.
Deviance is but one step from that stage at which the society defines such behavior as a crime.
Though it's hard to do, given the state, or non-state of international law. Though cruise ships hopelessly pollute our oceans we are unable to charge them with crime. Many would, and the discussion of corporate crime grows, almost as when we once spoke of corporate liability for the unforeseen harm of doing business. This paper addresses the issue of societal justice and responsibility in terms of the recognized need to compete in the free market and to adapt to global conditions.
