Definition of the Principle of the Common Good
The common good refers to an overall model that is used by community members in
a political perspective for practical reasoning. The community members create facilities that
serve a certain common interests, and serve a shared point of deliberations (Hussain, 2018).
John Rawls, a political theorist classified the common good into the communitarian and
distributive principles. The communitarian principle argues that each individual has an equal
right to have the most extensive liberty that is compatible to a similar liberty for other
individuals. The distributive principle views citizens in terms of various subgroups that
comprise of people born into certain status within social life. The subgroups determine the
independence of the citizens in terms of choice, clad at birth and innate talent levels
(Hussain, 2018).
The context of participation of indigenous communities in various fields such as
education, the distributive principle of common good is suitable in describing health
sciences, business and law. The principle argues that social facilities should address the
sectional interests based on the prescription of the distributive principle (Hussain, 2018).
The indigenous populations are subgroups that are defined by their positions of birth and
social situations. Therefore, they have specific rights facilities that should guide their
survival.
Discussion
The distributive principle argues that the economic and social inequalities should be
arranged to ensure that they are accepted reasonably to every person’s advantage, and they
are attached to the offices and positions that are open to all (Jaede, 2017). Based on the
distributive principle of common good, indigenous population have the rights to create and
maintain designated facilities for their common good based on their social status. However,
