A dream or thought that has occupied the minds of thoughtful human beings since the
advent of human civilizations and interactions to provide a meaning or definition of
justice and guideline or a roadmap to understanding human societies, so that maybe it
can reduce a little of the tangible gap between the desired truth and the existing
reality, until this day, after many centuries and human social and technological
growth, there has not provided a proper answer.

causes the emergence of reasonable society.
In the 18th century, the metaphysical justice was founded, in this type of justice, individual
profit was considered more than public interest because freedom was more important than
equality.
The transition from the 19th century to 20 criticism turned to metaphysical justice and the
suggestion of critics, was the foundation of social justice, the basis of social justice is that
laws should not only benefit individuals, but should be in the interest of all and for the
peace and welfare of the people and through lifting inequality, slavery and social and
economic poverty.
Of course, it is impossible to determine the exact date of this concept, but it can be said that
in Italy, France, and Germany, the concept of social justice has been accepted.
On the occasion of the “International Day of Justice” on the 20th of February, we intend to
announce a call for graphic design (poster) with the theme of how justice from the aspects
of, historical, political, cultural, educational, health, symbolic, mythical and etc.
” What world is full of justice, if it was…? ” And with international organizations and
colleagues, to become aware of your thoughts in a creative and artistic way and turn this
individual awareness into collective and global awareness.

Subject (concept) and categories:
A- How is justice desirable in human society (“that the world was full of justice, how was it global if…was it?”).
B- Mythical and symbolic expression of justice in the ideas, beliefs, traditions and cultures of different nations of the world.
