Question

which of the following arguments are espoused by proponents of positive action policies?
a. social unification
b. retaliatory justice
c. compensatory justice
d. law of equanimity

Explanation:

Positive action policies aim to address historical and systemic disadvantages faced by marginalized groups. Compensatory justice argues that groups harmed by past injustice deserve redress, which aligns with the core rationale of positive action. Social unification is not a primary argument for positive action, retaliatory justice focuses on punishment (not redress), and the law of equanimity refers to equal treatment without accounting for historical inequities, which contradicts positive action's goals.

Answer:

c. compensatory justice
