Question: 1 / 400

Augustine believes he received a lower raise than Amy due to the supervisor's personal interest in Amy. This is an example of what?

Sexual harassment

Distributive justice

The situation described relates to a perception of unfairness in the allocation of resources, specifically compensation, based on non-merit-based factors, such as personal interest or favoritism from the supervisor. This reflects the concept of distributive justice, which focuses on the perceived fairness of outcomes or distributions among individuals. Augustine feels that the comparison between his raise and Amy's raise is unjust, indicating a violation of distributive justice principles because he believes the supervisor's personal feelings influenced the decision, rather than an objective assessment of their performances.

In this context, while discriminatory treatment can also pertain to unfair practices based on protected characteristics, it is not the central focus of Augustine's concern; his issue is raised within the context of perceived favoritism affecting compensation. Therefore, the situation best exemplifies distributive justice.
