Fully justified text produces neat, vertical margins that create the sense of a line on each side of the document. Justified text tends to look formal and serious, and that's why professionally printed documents are often fully justified. For example, nearly all books use justified text.
text-align: justify shouldn't be used in browsers at the moment. They aren't good at handling the minute details within and the output ends up containing lots of rivers and there's no support for hyphenation (other than soft hyphens).
Should text be justified or left aligned?
Justified text is spaced so the left and right sides of the text block both have a clean edge. The usual alternative to justified text is left-aligned text, which has a straight left edge and an uneven right edge. Compared to left-aligned text, justification gives text a cleaner, more formal look.
What do you mean by text alignment and justification?
Justifying text and text alignment describe the way lines appear on a page and the writer/designers control over that appearance. Tradition dictates that lines are aligned flush left, or even with the left margin. Full justification is where text is even or straight with both margins, but it is not a perfect process.
