  The purpose of our study is to present what young people think about justice, and how they
  are different from the youth and society of the country. The functioning of a society requires
  that fair conditions prevail in it. However, there are several types of justice. What young people,
  as adults of the future, think about this value is essential for the functioning of a society. We
  present philosophical interpretations and value sociological research on justice, then we define
  the concept of justice for Hungarian society and Hungarian youth. In our research we asked all
  eleventh and twelfth students of a Greek Catholic high school in Eastern Hungary in 2014 and
  2019. Quantitative method was used to compare students’ views on justice with the other young
  people in the country. According to our results during the five years of research, equality was
  more important for young people, especially for the boys. The importance of the value of equality
  was clearly related to the religiosity of the asked young people.
