Justice (perfection) of a democratic law-abiding State expressed as an environment of social life: this is an issue, that very frequently is present upon the lips of jurists, politicians, political scientists, legislature members, but also: ethicists, bioethicists, moralists, theologians, and others. This subject has been also taken for reflection because of the fact, that we are living in such a system, and more: we must struggle with many problems, which make one ask: is the democratic system that is being constructed founded on sufficiently healthy foundations, so that it may be possible to say that we are all equal in relation to the law being passed and that its principles are just? So we have taken up here an ethical reflection on the subject of the philosophy of law and State (that is: philosophy of care for our life environment) predominant in the European Union, the directives of which, coming from different treaties and agreements, are being applied to our home legislature. The main axis, around which our reflections were developed, where the basic principles of the Christian concept of social justice. These are the basis for interpersonal and international dialogue. These principles are: «peace», «solidarity », «justice», «freedom », «truth» and «love». The main conclusion stemming from this article is: in the concept of State and law of today there is a lack of a permanent point of reference, and this point of reference should be the principle of social justice based on objective truth.

The paper argues that, for the most part, disasters are not natural. Although natural hazards normally affect all residents of a geographical area, they are rarely affected to the same degree, given that social vulnerability is unequally distributed in most societies. Social vulnerability is causally related to the distribution of wealth, power, and social status in society, therefore, its distribution is a social justice issue. This paper also analyses the connections between climate change and the increased risk of climate disasters. Pope Francis’ “integral ecology” is proposed as a path to the future.

Abstract. Economic changes in the context of globalization have left adolescents from Latin American contexts with few opportunities to make satisfactory transitions into adulthood. Recent studies indicate that there is a protracted period between the end of schooling and entering into formal working activities. While in this “limbo,” illicit activities, such as drug trafficking may emerge as an alternative for young people to ensure their social participation. This article aims to deepen the understanding of Brazilian youth’s involvement in drug trafficking and its intersection with their schooling, work, and aspirations, connecting with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4 and 16 as proposed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development adopted by the United Nations in 2015 .
