The theory of distributive justice that I found most convincing was the process of Utilitarianism. While I do agree partially with the Libertarian theory in regard to the sense of personal choice and freedom, I find the outcome of Utilitarianism to be most feasible. The feeling of collective social involvement, and working towards a distributive process with an outcome of happiness can help gauge overall community satisfaction. Regarding economic distribution, Utilitarianism has deemed the increase of worker participation to assist collective agreement of distribution. "...many utilitarians would favorably view increased worker participation in industrial life and more equal distribution of income." (W.H. Shaw, 2017, p.91) I highly agree with this form of economic distribution. I feel as if Utilitarianism provides a structure for increased worker production that can positively influence society as a whole, while simultaneously improving the economy. Personally, I desire a structure that is less self-centered as a measure of success, and more inclusive with collaboration and community. However, I feel as if the Libertarianism structure is important to consider as well to promote free thought and opinion. Without the interference of others, individuals are able to operate at their own discretion. Both of these processes have their own power and benefits. Perhaps a structure involving the two may provide a feeling of community and hard work, as well as self-awareness for society.
