Social Justice has many meanings to many people. But what’s important is what it means to me. Social Justice to me means the idea of having a chance that one day society can open their eyes and realize all the bad things it has done. It means having a lens that not many people have that makes me have an advantage. An advantage that I can use to get a different perspective. That same perspective that can help me out in many situations. Social Justice means fairness to all nothing else matters. Not race, social status, or wealth. Having a world that can be so unfair it is easy to fall in the same path many have followed. But it takes courage to stand up to a society that has an iron fist. There are many paths someone can take. But very few people chose the one were they are fair to all and have an opened mind. Some obstacles we face in todays society is that many people have a mindset that one race is better than another ones. That same mentality can only hold us back in our progression. |

What social justice means to me is something that we all have to work through in order to obtain. Before coming to this school I thought Social Justice simply meant laws and I though Justice and equality was everywhere. But as the time has gone by i see that theres many work to be done in the world, that no matter how many laws are created inequality is still going on and even in our own neighborhoods. And sadly those who are targeted the most are people of color. From in this time get locked up with no proof, getting killed by the own people that are supposed to protect us or even getting back stabbed by our own government. I think its time that we all stand up fro what our ancestors fought for before that sadly didn`t seem to work for long because its starting all over again. We should all reflect on whats happening now in our envioronment and in places where people don`t have a voice. Where people in poor countries are seen as targets due to poverty. Where they are treated worst then animals. Its time to fight back and go against all those corporations and injustices that might affect our life today or even later. |
