Social Justice Issues

Thousands of immigrants moving to America during the turn of the nineteenth century have faced extreme diversity on their quests to fulfill their American dreams. Immigrants faced a multitude of hardships and battled prejudices that were rampant throughout America during this time period. However, for the most part, Hilda Polacheck, an immigrant emigrating from Poland made out fairly well in her life. Hilda experienced what it was truly like to be a poor working immigrant, however, she was able to break out of the poverty cycle and was determined to make the world a better place. With this success she was able to step back and look at the social injustices being committed in the United States clearly, without being blinded by the hardships and the tragedies of being a poor immigrant. Throughout Hilda’s Autobiography, as well as throughout history, an immigrant woman in the United States faced extensive discrimination as well as vast and often unjust limitations on their inalienable rights as citizens of the United States.

I am interested in the Socially Justice Coordinator position because I want to make sure that various voices are heard around campus. At a predominately white institution, it is very easy for the dominant perspective to be that of a white male, and I want to be a socially conscious coordinator to ensure that the voices of other people don't get muted out by the majority. I have a very personal connection to this goal because I am member of the minority group on campus ,being that I am a black female, so a lot of these issues will hit home for me and draw out my personal passion and commitment. Not only do I want to be a Socially Conscious coordinator to bring to the table some of my own experiences and ideas ,but I also want bring to light the perspective of others that I don't have a lot of have to first-hand experience with, such as members of the LGBTQ+ community, people who suffer from mental health issues ,other minority groups. I believe that it is important to show and represent the perspective of as many people that we can so that the students at the University of Georgia can gain a well-rounded perspective that allows them to be better stewards in this multi-cultural world that we live in. In order to achieve this goal, I will bring to this position my creativity to develop fun, engaging, and beneficial events, my knack of marketing to help spread the word of the socially conscious

‘Social Justice’ relates to fair distribution of every privilege we have to people and places that need it more such as, wealth, opportunities and privileges. Social Justice is definitely important to Australia as we need to help not just the people who are struggling on our streets. We also need help people that struggle in appalling conditions in countries, such as Cambodia. Thankfully, we have an abundance of non-profit organisation that help these developing countries, such as the New Futures Organisation. This organisation’s people are based in Takeo, Cambodia, they run an orphanage that cares for over 50 children and young people. They are also starting to develop a chain of schools to help educate people in remote rural villages. This

In America today, Social Justice involves claims for government provisions through a revised fairness doctrine. Delivered from the days, where obtaining value required human knowledge and effort. Now, social progressives use regulatory force to acquire one 's desires. Subsequently, the notion to produce desirable goods by rational thought and action, production and voluntary exchange, gives way to forcibly demanding goods from those who can supply them. In his first term, President Obama struggled with high unemployment, a forced and failing health care program, an auto bailout, and an almost one trillion dollar economic stimulus package, that was not quite shovel ready. Then, in the voice of Machiavelli , Obama spoke of the importance of fairness and fighting for the middle class stating, “The system was rigged against them and too many of the fiscal benefits were going to those at the very top.” While channeling Cicero and Grotius that the law of nature, which is binding upon all humans, amounts to nothing more than the voice of subjective reason. Obama aims directly against the philosophy of the Declaration that states, a Creator endows humankind with independence, to succeed or fail based upon human knowledge and effort. According to Sir William Blackstone, the man who greatly influenced the Founding Fathers ' view of property rights, government fairness is a legal responsibility not a redistributed one. For Blackstone, property is an absolute right consigned in the

Here is a more extensive list of social justice implications that I feel that Master of Social Work students and Social Workers can take into consideration to advocate for change:

Imagine Being denied a job just because you were catholic. Imagine being a woman who’s being paid less than a man just because you’re a woman. Teenagers being harassed because of how they dress. This is social in-justice but what we need is social justice and I’m going to be telling you what it is and why you as an individual should help us and how you can help achieve social justice.

On December 1, 1955 a 42- year old, African American, female boarded a Montgomery City bus to go home from her job as a seamstress.

People always praise our world is beautiful and peaceful, but they ignore the injustices still exist and some of them without good solutions. Although people believe social injustices are unfair and will bring pain and tear, they are used to treating them as air because they never experience these unequal things. Likewise, the discrimination occurs both in upper class and regular class between Puerto Ricans and Mexicans. For example, there was an obvious discrimination happened in the speech of the Republican nomination for president election. At that time, Donald Trump, who was one of the speakers, believed that force illegal immigrants repatriation can be the best way to make America great again. Because Mr. Trump recognized these immigrants only bring drugs and crimes to the U.S., and they occupied a large number of jobs which made the unemployment rate increasing currently. In addition, he said if he becomes the president, he will declared three principals and two of them can be social injustices. Firstly, America has to build a wall across the U.S.-Mexico border that stowaway cannot enter America illegally. Secondly, the laws must be fully enforced illegal immigrants to go back to Mexico. In addition, Mr. Tramp is not the only person who gets rise to injustices, but the social injustices and discrimination also happened in various aspects.

There are many concepts I feel very strongly about. One of this concepts include social justice for all. We did not get to choose our ethnicity, our gender, our place of birth, our parents, or our families economic standing, but despite this, all these factors greatly influence who we are and where we start in this world. While there is still much for me to explore in the USA, I also wish to go visit the places I always here people talk about. I grew up conflicting between my parents referring to anyone south of the US border as "roaches" while also being best friends with a first generation United States citizen whose parents came from Mexico. Long before this point, I have decided that my parents opinions were not going to effect my own,

Unfortunately, some of the failures of communities is that neighborhoods fail to establish social networks, they trust less anyone different from them, as well as someone with the same background. In addition these neighborhoods is where returning prison or jail inmates return since this is where they were plucked from and into the traditional criminal justice system. Eventually these neighborhoods become very diverse and people begin to hunker down and become less cohesive and even less trusting. These communities create hot spots of crime, and become victimized. Ultimately there is no social capital being generated due to high crime, the lack of corroboration and suspicion of external resources, law enforcement and anyone different. Eventually neighborhoods have a great influence on people’s life chances. Ultimately, there is little hope of change, and the American Dream gets tougher to obtain.

Though the concept of social injustice is universal in nature, the experience varies with each person. Factors like a person’ race, or gender can further influence the severity of the injustice; victims caught in the overlap between discriminations often go unrecognized by the law and society. Many people recognize the names Michael Brown, Eric Garner, and Tamir Rice as African Americans who were murdered by local police. But names like Michelle Cusseaux, Tanish Anderson, and Meagan Hockaday often receive less feedback even though they are also murdered African Americans. The only distinction between the sets of names is gender. Even within racial injustice, discrimination is present between genders as some cases get national

Social justice issues affect all different people in many different ways, this includes Christians and Churches, making it a high priority if not mandatory that they should be involved in resolving social justice issues. In class we discussed various issues, including abortion, racism, and feminism to name a few. These issues, and others that I will talk about, are at the forefront of social justice issues of today.

Question: How can dancers of color prove their place in the “white world” of ballet?

Social justice is not an “us versus them” mentality; rather it is a “were in it together” mentality where the powerful and powerless work together. Obviously those who are in need are the poor and oppressed: women, African-Americans, Jews, Latin Americans, etc. However, due to the fact that these people are in these oppressive situations, they gain insight into the injustices that surround them specifically, and society in general. Although they are made poor by those in power and the structures, institutions, and organizations run by those in power, they still possess “strength to resist, capacity to understand their rights, [and the ability] to organize themselves and transform a subhuman situation (Boff, 1)”. The poor and oppressed are held above the rich and powerful, in other words are given preferential treatment. Due to their oppression in life,

Social justice is mutually a practice and a goal. The goal of social justice is complete and equal contribution by all people in a society that is equally designed to meet their needs. Social justice allows for all members of society to be physically and psychologically safe and secure. It is a set of values that allow us to understand what is right and wrong in our world regardless of race, culture and economic status. That we take care of those in need of help, so that they can take care of themselves. Social justice allows equal rights and opportunities to everyone in society.
