As Nader (1969) demonstrated with reference to the Zapotec culture, justice need not mean an eye for an eye. Justice can also aim to restore equilibrium by creating a situation where people do not feel they are a threat to others, or threatened by others.

While going through the detention centers and hearing about all of the horrible things that many people with authority did to citizens in Argentina. I was surprised to hear that many families did not seek retaliation or try to harm many of the leaders of this operation. Instead they found justice through jail time and making sure that each of these people’s memories was highlighted as important. So referring to the Zapotec Culture they found equilibrium to be the best way to find justice. Doing things like raising awareness, organizing marches, and making memorials for the lost loved ones. Which seemed to have a better impact overall.
