                    Justice in our World Today 
              9th and 10th Grade Humanities​ ​Summer Reading Project 2016 
        
       Text: ​Justice: Doing the Right Thing ​by Michael J Sandel 
       Video Lectures: ​http://www.justiceharvard.org/watch/ 
        
       Michael Sandel teaches a famous course at Harvard on the subject of justice. We take it for 
       granted that we all know what this means and there is a clear way to determine justice in our 
       world today. This summer, I want you to think about this idea of justice. Sandel’s book, ​Justice: 
       Doing the Right Thing​, presents some interesting case studies of contemporary issues of justice 
       that are nothing but straightforward, and introduces some of the greatest philosophical 
       perspectives in thinking about these issues. 
        
       Warning (and peace of mind): 
       There is some sophisticated material in this book and some of it may seem over your head. 
       Don’t worry about it! We are mostly interested in examining the case studies in this book (in fact, 
       you can just read the case studies themselves). Read as much of this text as you find 
       interesting and don’t stress about understanding every detail. Listen to the audiobook with your 
       family, discuss some the issues with your friends, or watch the Harvard video lectures instead!  
        
       Ultimately I want us to consider the following essential questions: 
         1. How do you define justice?  
         2. How do we determine what is just? 
         3. Is there good and evil in the world? 
         4. What’s more important, the individual or society? 
         5. How do we take steps towards justice as individuals? As a society? 
        
       The Project: Starting the Conversation 
       When we meet in September, you are not going to be tested or write a paper explicitly on this 
       book, but I would like you to think about ideas of justice by choosing one controversial issue in 
       the United States today (political, environmental, social media, privacy, etc.) and make a case 
       for what you think is the right thing to do in regards to this issue. This report should include a 
       brief summary of the issue/current event/topic (one paragraph) as well as a personal response 
       (one page) explaining considerations of justice in relation to this topic. You may choose to look 
       at the issue from a specific viewpoint (Sandel offers several viewpoints in his book), or your 
       response may be a list of your different ideas on this topic. These are not formal papers and will 
       not be graded. Their purpose is strictly to start our conversation together. 
        
       I’m looking forward to meeting you all in August. Have fun with this by involving your family 
       and/or friends. Good luck!
