Reflective Paper: Market Justice and Social Justice
After living in the states for a while, I think the predominant philosophy held by the people in the United States considering justice is market justice because it 's seems to be promoting the right for an individual to depend on themselves in order to achieve everything that they want in life without depending on others for help. In another word, Market justice, encourage people to have an individualistic mind set. But when looking at the country as a whole it looks like they are using the social justice because everyone in the country get the opportunity for an education, everyone gets an income from the work that they do, health care and much more. Therefore, I will say that the United

For example, she said that majority of children whose parents received lots of those government programs money, start to think it is better to get free things than working hard to any achieve things, in another word, develop a spirit of depending on others for help than trying to do something for their own since they are provided with the opportunity to do so. The tension that I see people in the church having concerning social justice is trying to live out Jesus example to all their neighbors. I have noticed that many churches know that it is their responsibility to help those who are in need even if it is hard. So many have adopted to the notion of pretending to be nice to all, and help ways that they can to promote social justice even though they might not like or agree with the practices that those people they are helping are practicing. For example, churches, most of the churches that I have visited have pantry to give to those in need, church van for transportation, and much more. Basically, it feels like an obligation that they need to accomplish or they are bad people then.
I do agree with the philosophy of social justice to be preferable than market justice because it showing people do not just want to be better themselves, instead, they want to better the whole society, and if the whole society prosper, the individual prospers too. It promotes the welfare of the whole to get the same rights, opportunities, and value that they deserve. Especially, the education part, because I believe that education is the key to succeed in many people each person does. As for this I am very thankful for living in a country that promote this social
In my eyes, social justice is an action of equality for everyone regardless of their color, ethnic ground, or gender. Since we all breath, we should have the same economical rights, political rights, social rights and the same amount of opportunities. Everyone should have economical rights because if one works hard for something they should be able to be rewarded with a good return. Everyone should also have political rights because it gives the nation as an entirety the right to a make decision rather than just to certain people. Social rights are also something everyone should have because it allows everyone to get an education, house, right to health, and other important things. Everyone having the same amount of opportunities is also what social justice should be because no one should be considered better than another person unless they really know the person. Therefore, knowing what social justice is can help us better understand what Shakur is trying to teach us about social
She then immediately follows up with a way to fix it and demand respect. Shes trying to connect with the audience and shows that she has been in the same place, that she can relate. You can see that she has done her research, she uses plenty of statistics to give you a visual of what she is talking about as well as quoting people from organizations and giving them the appropriate credit. She mentions in 2005 at yale, her alma mater, 15 students sat in the admissions office until they were removed by police. These individuals were demanding changes to the financial aid policy. What those student did actually changed the policy and made it easier for families to afford college without heavy loans. This showed others that activists can make a difference, something she presses on in this
After reading Zeitoun, my response to social justice is that it does not exist in this universe. If we are looking at social justice in the big picture, it is a great thing to talk about social justice as if there was some imaginary balancing point at which such equality could be reached. However, in reality social justice does exist. It just being understood to those who it matters the most. For those whose lives are privileged, they would not want to know because they only hope for their own success to last forever. If social justice means everyone deserves equal rights, political, social and economic opportunities, then why the government did not take control and save those in greatest need. They were too worry about judging others like
In her opinion, we show our love for God by caring for those that are our brothers, or our fellow creatures of God. Our actions toward our brothers can bring us closer to our salvation, but can also have the reverse effect. Taking a “bad” job that undermines the poor and takes advantage of them will bring you further from the kingdom of God. We can also harm our fellow brethren, and become further from God’s kingdom by being passive consumers of products made by people in poverty conditions. Dorothy states in Poverty and Pacifism, “It also means non-participation in those comforts and luxuries which have been manufactured by the exploitation of others. While our brothers suffer, we must compassionate them, suffer with them” (1). Again, we do not always remember the consequences of our everyday actions because we are not perfect beings. If we were, we would be on the same level as
In “What Do We Deserve?”, Arora takes a look at political philosophies and asks an important question, “How much of my good life do I really deserve?.” He brings up that argument that the contest of life is “rigged from the start” (Arora). How do one fix the contest so it's fair for everyone? Society can start by leveling the playing field to give everyone an equal chance, eliminating the idea of winner vs. loser, and encouraging and rewarding hard work and natural talents. Once the system is repaired, then we will see that those who make the effort and take advantage of their own gifts will succeed and be truly deserving of their earnings.
Everyone regarding social justice should feel this way because we are all born with morals that allow us to feel bad when others are hurt, so we should act on that feeling that it is bad. As humans, we need to act on these morals in order to do our duty to help others and to be good to them. Socratic Questions 2.
Social equality is the concept in which all individuals possess the same fundamental basic liberties, opportunities, moral value/respect, and social benefits. The concept of ‘equality’ has a multiplicity of meanings and definitions, and with the rise of liberalization and democratization around the world ‘social equality’ has become the most predominant. As economic openness creates greater wealth disparities, the parallel rise of democratization has enabled citizens to demand more accountability measures and public welfare services from their governments in order to manage such disparities. Although the movement towards greater social equality has made significant strides with the establishment of equal rights (especially in the 1960s following the civil rights and women rights movement), inequality is still widespread in society among different ethnicities, social classes, and even religions. Inequality is not, however, a characteristic that only encompasses/embodies developing countries, but also embodies developed countries as well.
My definition of social justice in the field of education is based on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of a Child and the British-Colombia School Act that state that every child has a right to a proper education (UNICEF, n.d.; School Act, RSBC 1996, c. 412). A proper education to me is based on opportunity. I believe that in order to have a proper education, children should all be entitled to equal opportunity in their learning process. Children should have equal opportunity to obtain the supports that will assist them in achieving their potential.
Social Justice means that the equal distribution of rights among all. Is gender discrimination fair? Maybe men benefit from it but women don’t at all. Women and men are not equal and we see it almost everyday. In third world countries women are seen as less of a person. But God sees everyone as a unique individual created perfectly in his eye. He would lead and teach woman just like he did to men. In the bible it doesn't say that women are only suppose to stay in the house and raise the children. I see more and more husbands being stay at home parents. With discipleship and social justice these two topics fit into gender equality nicely.
During the 113th Congress, the United States Senate voted 69-27 to pass the Marketplace Fairness Act of 2013 bill on May 6th 2013. The Marketplace Fairness Act of 2013 (MFA) is a proposed legislation that would require online vendors to collect and submit all their sales tax and use tax. The bill still needs approval from the House of Representatives before it can become a law .Supporters of the bill are large retailers like Sears and Target, who claim they are at a price disadvantage because they have to charge sales tax on every sale while online retailers do not. On the other side are e-commerce companies such as eBay and Overstock.com, as well as small online merchants, who say that complying with 45 state sales laws and more than 9,000 jurisdictions is too much complicated and costly .
Defined by the NASW (2016), social justice is the idea that everyone is entitled to equal economic, political, and social rights and opportunities. This is one of the main goals social workers aim to achieve. There are many injustices occurring in the world today, such as wage inequalities, institutional racism, and the amount of people living in poverty. Fighting for social justice is fighting for equality in all of these
Institutions that affect our social justice views can include religions, schools, our government, social networking and media. Our own identity of ourselves is highly impacted by the restrictions and judgments that come along with these institutions. Whether you believe in it or not, you are impacted directly by the views from these institutions. The views of these institutions can be a determining factor in your decisions, because if you decide the rebel against these views you can look like an outsider. Social justice defines what should be done in order the live the perfect American Dream, be socially acceptable, fulfill life to the fullest and be an active member of society.
Social justice is the fair and just relation between the individual and society. This is measured by the explicit and tacit terms for the distribution of wealth, opportunities for personal activity and social privileges. In western as well as in Asian cultures, the concept of social justice has often referred to the process of ensuring that individuals fulfill their societal roles and receive what was their due from society. Today social justice lies in between the balance of chaos and insanity. In what possible way could law enforcement be viewed as criminals while professional athletes who show no respect to the country that pays them millions of dollars be viewed as political figures and heroes?
What does social justice mean to a mother on welfare struggling to feed her family, or to a young college graduate looking for a job? Of course it can be said that all people are subject to the same experiences included in the American dream no matter race, religion, gender, economic status; yet centuries seem to fly by like water in a downhill stream, and the world’s smudged reality of social justice is still intact. Social justice is defined as fair treatment in the distribution of wealth, opportunity, and privileges: this includes education, economic opportunities, health care, property, and fair subjugation to laws. Although some progress has been made, it is still very important for society to fully grasp
Is it time marketers repositioned fairness products to leverage features other than the promise of fair skin, regaining the trust of apprehensive consumers?
