Define Social Justice.

Assignment 3: Defining Social Justice

Social justice has been defined in different ways, but the definitions usually include similar ideologies. As you study the concept of social justice, you will come across some of the following ideas:

• Historical inequities that affect current injustices should be corrected until the actual inequities no longer exist or have been perceptively “negated.”
• Wealth, power, and status should be redistributed for the good of the individual, the community, and the society.
• It is the responsibility of the government (or those who hold significant power) to ensure a basic quality of life for all its citizens
