5 CNA Code of Ethics and Social Justice Social justice is reflected throughout the code, with social justice being defined as the fair distribution of resources and responsibilities among the members of a population, with a focus on the relative position of one social group in relationships to the others in society as well as on the root causes of disparities and what can be done to eliminate them (CNA, 2009, p. 2).
