A quick definition of justifiable:

Term: JUSTIFIABLE

Definition: Something that is justifiable can be explained or defended in a way that is fair and reasonable. It means that it is okay to do or say something because there is a good reason for it, either legally or morally. For example, if someone breaks a window to save a person's life, it is justifiable because they did it for a good reason.

Definition:

Justifiable, adj. Capable of being legally or morally justified; excusable; defensible.

Examples:
  • It was justifiable for the police officer to use force in order to protect themselves and others.
  • Some people believe that lying is justifiable in certain situations, such as to protect someone's feelings.
  • It is not justifiable to discriminate against someone based on their race or gender.

However, in the third example, discrimination based on race or gender is not justifiable because it is morally wrong and goes against legal protections.
