If such a principle exists, the child will always say, ‘My mom and dad would not be unfair to me,’ and attachment to home increases. Feelings of responsibility related to the home increase.” Tarhan emphasized that the greatest enemy of justice is selfishness, adding that injustice in the family leads to emotional neglect. Üsküdar Üniversitesi Founding Rector, Psychiatrist Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan, made evaluations regarding the concept of justice in the family. Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan stated that the concepts of justice and equality are always confused, saying, “Equality is like everyone wearing the same type of clothes. It is giving the same, equal amount. In justice, there is a balance and a measure. Giving to those who deserve it as much as they deserve, and not giving to those who do not. For this reason, justice should not be perceived as equality. If the rights achieved by a talented and hardworking person are the same as the rights achieved by a lazy, non-working person, then laziness would be rewarded. Therefore, justice will strike a balance there, opening the way for the talented, but providing minimal rights for the others.” **Equality is stable, justice is dynamic** Noting that justice is a dynamic process, Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said, “Equality is stable, fixed, but justice is dynamic. It changes according to place, situation, and conditions. To be just, a person must constantly act with the principle, 'I must be just.' Because they do not do this, they can make mistakes at any moment. This is also true within the family.” **There are three types of justice** Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan noted that when justice is mentioned, court walls are often thought of, saying, “However, there are three types of justice. The first justice is normal judicial justice and the benefits distributed by the laws therein. The other is social justice. It is the sharing distributed by traditions and customs. It is the sharing of benefits. It is the distribution of opportunities and various chances related to traditions and customs in social environments. The third is determined by the norms of conscience, which conscience defines as morality and justice.” **If there is no justice, there is no peace** Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan stated that in family justice, this third group, meaning justice determined by consciences, comes to the forefront more, saying, “Because there is no direct connection to any judicial process there. There is also no connection to external traditions. There is entirely an internal balance. Let's say a child in the house is always protected and favored; jealousy and spoilt behavior among other siblings will start to be stimulated towards that child. For example, let's say there is a village. There is only one well in the village. Water comes out of that well. If those who have power and are close to the headman are the only ones benefiting from that well, and other people beg for water, there is no justice there. If there is no justice, there is no peace.” **Injustice in the family leads to emotional neglect** Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan stated that examples of injustice in the family are sometimes encountered, “A child does not call their mother and father 'mom-dad.' They think they are adopted because their mother and father always show interest in their disabled sibling. They always thought of themselves as adopted. Since their sibling was sick and their parents always cared for them, emotional neglect occurred in the child. When emotional neglect emerges, both love and anger develop towards the mother and father. This situation also leads to unhappiness. It is a situation that causes them to seek expert help. They feel anger towards their mother and father, but actually love them. They become restless and experience fluctuations between feelings of remorse. These children feel excluded.” **Favoring one's loved ones is injustice** Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan touched upon the concept of "discrimination for benefit," called "nepotism" in literature, saying, “This situation generally occurs in social relationships. One does everything for their own benefit and ignores those who are not beneficial. A profit-oriented capitalist system. Nepotism feeds self-interest. Furthermore, favoritism is common in our society. Favoritism is practiced for various reasons. This is also favoritism. Favoring one's loved ones is injustice.” **The concept of justice in the family is very important** Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan reminded the story of Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) from the Quran, which he cited as an example in literature, saying, “Prophet Jacob loved Prophet Yusuf very much among his children. He protected and cared for him. Thus, a tremendous feeling of jealousy developed in the other children. And they threw Yusuf into the well. This is considered the test of Prophet Yusuf. Prophet Jacob also had his test there. He could not provide the justice of love. Because he couldn't, he protected one of his children too much, and the others were not mature and decided to destroy their brother, eventually throwing him into the well. For this reason, the concept of justice within the family is not a simple matter.” **Where there is justice, there is peace and harmony** Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan stated that they try to measure the child's reaction with certain questions to understand if there is justice within the family, saying, “If any event occurs, would you side with your mother or your father?' is asked. If the child blindly sides with either their mother or father, there is no justice in that home. But if the child says, 'I will side with whoever is right,' then there is justice there. Justice is very important. Where there is justice, there is peace and harmony. If we want peace, justice is necessary.” **Parents must ensure justice** Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan stated that parents should be concerned with ensuring justice in the family, saying, “Parents must have the principle of acting justly. If such a principle exists, the child will always say, ‘My mom and dad would not be unfair to me,’ and attachment to home increases. Feelings of responsibility related to the home increase.” **Wrong jokes lead to sibling rivalry** Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan also noted that wrong jokes are sometimes made within the family, saying, “A new baby is born at home. Wrong jokes like ‘you have a sibling, your shoes have been thrown on the roof’ are made to the child. The child goes and makes their sibling cry. One is one year old, the other is three years old. Parents do things that make the child jealous. Because justice is not paid attention to as a principle within the family, sibling rivalry occurs among siblings.” **Siblings should be taught fair sharing** Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan also noted the necessity of teaching children the skill of solving problems among themselves through agreement and sharing, saying, “It exists in positive psychology therapy methods. How is fair sharing learned? There is a group of five people. It's a model used in early adolescence, ages 10-12. Four chocolates are brought to five children around age 10. They are told to share them. They sit, talk, and find a formula for how to share. This way, they teach fair sharing. If one says, 'This is my right' and takes it, and another says, 'This is my right, I'll take it,' one person is left behind, oppressed. Then there will be no peace in that group.” **There must be a balance and boundary between rights and responsibilities** Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan stated that the measure of being civilized is not carving stone, but setting boundaries, saying, “Justice is also a person's ability to maintain balance and boundaries between their rights and responsibilities. The balance between humanity, power, and justice is also very important here. There are suspicious parent types. They fiercely favor and protect their child, are just within the family but see the outside world as a threat. They raise their child this way. What happens to the child then? They become a suspicious type, a type who doesn't care about anyone. Justice is also important in the outside world and in human relationships.” **Where love enters, there is psychological vitality…** Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan stated that where money enters, there is economic vitality, and where love enters, there is psychological vitality, saying, “When you manage this fairly, trust forms in people. Where there is trust, attachment forms. Where attachment forms, people are peaceful. However, there is no peace in an environment where there is no fair sharing.” Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan also noted that justice in love is important in the family, saying, “We call this the balance of love and discipline. Justice within the family comes with consistent discipline. If there is inconsistent discipline, you say yes one day and no the next to what you agreed to. The father says no to what the mother says yes to. There is inconsistency here. There will be no fair sharing here.” he warned. **The greatest enemy of justice is selfishness…** Emphasizing that justice should be upheld as a value in the family, Prof. Dr. Nevzat Tarhan said, “That's why we emphasize that justice begins with the family. An understanding that emphasizes justice brings peace and harmony to the home. Where there is peace, trust forms, and where there is trust, good people are raised. Good children are raised. The greatest enemy of justice is selfishness.” --- *Kaynak: [Üsküdar Haber Ajansı](https://uha.com.tr) — https://uha.com.tr/justice-important-in-the-family*
