- Justice When the question is asked "Can we live in a just world?" In effect it is asking us a variety of things. "Can there be justice for all?" and "Can there be equality for all people?".

Therefore, I consider that racism, ageism and sexism are the three major problems in our society and we need to cease them immediately. Much of our worlds history were based upon racism.
