In considering the relation between the issues of justice, economic distribution, and morality, two opposed positions present themselves: Libertarianism and Communitarianism. The history of this debate is very likely as old as the hills but its classical formulation comes in the form of a debate between Locke on the one hand and Hobbes and Rousseau on the other. In more modern guises the debate has been picked up on by former Harvard colleagues Robert Nozick and John Rawls. You need to make a post that:

1) Explains to a general audience the issues of justice, economic distribution and ethics
2) Carefully lays out the Libertarian and Communitarian positions on these issues (including examples)
3) Takes issue with one or both of these positions by offering counter examples
4) Weighs in on what ethical obligations we have either to justice or economic distribution.
