The Importance Of Social Justice Issues In Call To Justice

The topic of social justice was not always a passion of mine to pursue in life. Growing up in a small town it was always difficult to see the gaps in our society. It was not until I started working for a Christian nonprofit that helped change my philosophies. For the past three years, I have been working as a missionary with Destino; a Christian nonprofit that focuses on raising up a generation of Latino college students to go out and change the world wherever God has called them. Since moving out of my small town and into an urban environment I have been able to witness firsthand the struggles Latino college students face. The worries they face as an undocumented student paying their way through college because they do not qualify for financial aid. The problems within Latino culture and the importance of providing for their family rather than receiving a college degree. The difficulties of fighting racism as a minority student attending a majority culture university. These are only a handful of struggles my students face everyday living in Denver. Although working with Destino, I have learned the importance of being culturally aware and to continue fighting on to be a voice to others who are unable to

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

Per the DVHS Handbook, missed class work and tests resulting from an excused absence must be completed within a reasonable period of time commensurate with the length of the absence.

Procedural justice, is concerned with making and applying decisions according to fairness. Rules must be impartially followed and consistently applied in order to create an unbiased decision. Those carrying out the procedures should be neutral, and those directly affected by the decisions should have some voice or representation in the decision-making process such as a jury and its witness testimonies. Procedural justice amounts to four basic actions such as treat people with respect, listen to what they have to say, make fair decisions, and explain your actions. Social justice, is the largest and most important form of justice to most societies. Social justice is about assuring the protection of equal access to liberties, rights, and opportunities,

“In the United States you can practice free speech and speak your opinions freely, but only if I agree with those opinions and those opinions don’t go against my thoughts”. It may seem hypocritical to call it free speech when there are limitations like the above statement says, but that is exactly how majority of social justice warriors think. They try to push their beliefs onto others and if you disagree with them or question them they attack you with slander and hate speech, labeling you all sorts of things such as racist, homophobic, sexist, and any other word they can think of to make it look like you hate them in the eyes of the media and their peers. There are many issues that are heavily affecting many people

Like a common thread intertwining the several heroes of social justice whom I have studied throughout the semester, the devotion to their own respective faith has empowered these individuals to dedicate their lives to the arduous task of representing the oppressed

To completely cover the questions of what materials helped me understand the class theme of social justice, and how the understanding might impact me as a future teacher I had to choose two very different things. Both of these things came to my mind instantly, when I thought about this reflection, as being both an eye opener and a turning point for me. Both things came from the Supreme Court and Capital Building tour. The first thing that helped me to better understand the class theme of social justice was the history script with Helen Gougar and May Wright Sewall. The second thing that ultimately greatly impacted my course as a future teacher was the intern from IUPUI.

In coming to seminary, I had two goals in mind: first, I am interested in interfaith dialog and social justice advocacy, and second, I wish to become a chaplain. As a Christian who holds some unorthodox views, I have wondered what this would look like in practice; how do I preach a word that is true to my beliefs, is theologically sound, and is of spiritual value to the receiver in their own context?

The first question is about my worldview. First of all, I think the meaning of life is to improve yourself and the world around you. By improving yourself, I do not mean simply getting better at a task, but continuously seeking and finding the truth. I believe that we should strive to connect with other people and to show them sympathy and empathy. In doing this, we both come to better understand the truths of this world, by seeing things from multiple different perspectives, but we also make other people’s lives better.

I'm a free-thinker I feel if everyone does not have the same rights as others it's an injustice, an insult. I'm part Native American with an immigrant past as many others do in America. Most people here in America share similar stories about our pasts and where we come from. It would be hypocritical for anyone in America not to feel we all should have the same social justice since America was founded by men for all men and women to be equal. Therefore, if we don't get social justice here then there is something wrong, we need to change it. I'm absolutely an advocate for any change that makes all people equal no matter what color your skin or where we come from. Nevertheless, we all share the same American story, recently in my second year I've

To start I want to share about how this experience was actually enjoyable and if I had the opportunity I would possibly attend another one or one of a similar nature. My first expectation was that this was going to be an event where a bunch of adults sat around and asked each other questions about how times have changed and how it has affected certain groups. To my surprise when I get there I realized that the audience was a mix of adults who were there to strengthen their understanding of what social justice is and how it is happen in today’s society. There were also a decent amount of college kids there as well. There were some who were there representing an organization that they were part of or some even were just there to have their voice heard.

In the society that people live in today is full of violence and destruction from human being and even by the weather that occurs from state to country. When one holds unto their faith in God, and trust that he will pull his people from in-justice to justice and make them true believers. In this essay, as Christians we will be faced with social justice, and how it is compatible with the Gospel of Jesus, how ministries are trying to change the world with more social justice and how it can be compared to the Gospel, how social justice could be the key component of the message of Jesus Christ, and in this essay one will see how social justice is effecting other parts of the world, and how speaking the word of God can be sustainable in other parts of the world. What is Social Justice?

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

The notion of justice is existence of proper balance of rights and its access under the laws of land. It refers to not depriving any person from availing privileges, opportunities etc. John Rawls writes, "Each person possesses an inviolability founded on justice that even the welfare of society as a whole cannot override"It means that the interaction in a society must be free from any sort of discrimination such as religion, race, color, caste or sex. It ensures fair distribution of assets and equal opportunity. José P. Laurel defines Social Justice as “Social justice is neither communism, nor despotism, nor atomism, nor anarchy, but the humanization of laws and the equalization of social and economic forces by the state so that justice in its rational and objectively secular conception may at least be approximated.”

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.
