One way to think about justice is to  raise the question of rights and where they come from.  Following  elements of John Locke's political philosophy, modern libertarians such  as Robert Nozick maintain that we are born with certain basic  entitlements.  Principal among these so called natural rights are  liberty and property.  Questions of a just society for Nozick, then,  become questions of how to best safe guard our right to liberty  generally and, in particular, our right to private property and free  exchange.  Others, such as John Rawls, reject the idea that we have  rights independent from societal inclusion.  One way of putting it is  that from the communitarian perspective all rights are civil, not  natural, in origin.  For many of this viewpoint justice then becomes a  question of protecting the principals agreed upon for social living.  Write a 4-6 page essay for a general reader that: 1) Lays out what a  Lockean right or natural right is supposed to be; 2) Explains how such  rights are supposed to relate to Nozick's entitlement theory of just  distribution; 3) Demonstrates how Nozick uses the Wilt Chamberlin  example to argue for his preferred view; 4) Raises the question of  society  and natural rights by considering Rawls' focus on the original  position and fairness; 5) Shows how the veil of ignorance is supposed to  work and why ignorance might be required in thinking about justice; 6)  Says what two principles allegedly fall out of the veil of ignorance and  why Rawls thinks free exchange must be conditioned by equality of  opportunity; and, 7) Explores in some detail the possible implications  of these two different approaches to justice and economic distribution  for the poverty case study outlined in section 3.3 of chapter 3.  You  may advance a thesis if you choose but be sure to offer reasons for the  view you wish to defend.  In writing for a general reader you should  assume very little by way of background knowledge.  In particular, make  sure you do not address your remarks directly to me or anyone familar  with the essay prompt or our other course materials (including our  text).  In this regard it is very useful to include an introductory  paragraph that both presents your overall ethical concern in a way that  would capture a general readers attention and provides a sketch of what  you plan to say about it.  Avoid bullet points and make sure your  paragraphs bear some relation to one another and to carrying out the  agenda presented in the introduction.  You may use other sources and  direct quotation but as always you must cite your sources and use  largely your own words and ideas.
