Another virtue of Franklin, which is justice, explains two ways to be just. One is not to hurt or cause any damage to others and another is to fulfill one’s duties, regardless whether they provide any benefit to the person or not. Both, not one, conditions have to be met in order to be considered just. For example, let’s look at the Adolf Hitler. He is one of the most notorious characters in history of the world. He caused the World War II which resulted death of hundreds of thousands of people, including soldiers and civilians. Hitler himself ordered the slaughter countless number of Jews. However, during his time, he may be a hero to some Germans and, in their mind, he was doing what he was supposed to do: making the Germany the greatest empire of all. So, is he just because he fulfilled his duties? It is difficult to conclude that his deed is just, because his action caused great harm to many individuals and to the society.
