The assertion that a person or group should never act to the detriment of the least among them is the principle of:
  1. Established equality
  2. Wealth redistribution
  3. Fair practice
  4. Distributive justice
Explanation
Answer: D - The principle of distributive justice asserts that a group should not act in a manner they know to be disproportionately harmful to the least among them. The concept is applied mostly in terms of sociology, distribution of goods, and political economics, but it has application in management as well. It invokes the age old parable that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. If the least empowered member of a team or organization is exploited or marginalized for the benefit of everyone else, it will be costly down the road when the marginalized party falters, rendering the entire group less effective than they would have otherwise been if they been more just in distribution of resources and rewards.
