Social justice, understood as a way of complex equality, entails theneed for exercise inseparable from the social responsibility of institutions that represent the areas of distribution of goods, as a duty. In that sense,Walzer believes that only to the extent that the distribution meets the socialmeanings, may be covered with in the framework of equality, the needs of a society in afield of community right sand duties. This represents guiding beacon for the policies and responsibilities of institutions and companies from countries with enormous problems of social inequality, as the case of Mexico.
