Essays on Social Justice

The society today is facing a rather disquieting series of developments affecting practical academic life in the contemporary society. Arguably, these developments risk degrading the pivotal role of cognitive endeavor or reasoned evaluative criticism in achieving, maintaining, and enhancing of good social justice program in the society. It is hard to simply educate on methods and means of doing evaluation; it is vital to convey the idea of evaluation as realistic, intellectual outlook and disposition on social and political platform. Overall, there is a pressing necessity to learn the need of humanistic evaluation in the social Justice programs. According to Geoff ...

Context of Sub-Saharan Africa and San Francisco

Scientists and laypersons can agree and cite a huge body of work regarding the mechanisms of HIV spread and the effects of HIV/AIDS on the human body and whole communities, but HIV/AIDS must be examined through other lenses in order to gain a fuller understanding of the disease, or who it most affects and why. AIDS is a social justice issue. This becomes apparent when examining HIV/AIDS within the contexts of both Sub-Saharan Africa and San Francisco. The face of AIDS in each of these geographic contexts is different but in each context, AIDS is a social justice issue, with socio-economic inequalities, stigmas ...

The Chicano Studies show fundamental changes that this group achieved in bringing social justice within the Catholic Church.

Through Las Harmannas, these women were able to achieve their targets notwithstanding the challenges that they experienced during this struggle. Las Harmannas is an established ...

Question 1

The Doonesbury cartoon presented in the question contains the quintessential arguments both for and against social justice. The NAACP representative in the cartoon—really a representative of all minority groups that fight for social justice—is acting by calling in doomsday propositions based on the current events in society. This is a parody that many people in the majority have about minority cultures—that because really terrible forms of discrimination were in the past and are no longer practiced, modern society does not need to recognize that there are still forms of discrimination practiced every day.

There is generally a sense ...

Social justice existed in a society when the people of that community had an equal share in the way they were treated. That is, and everyone had a fair share of the resource allocation to the citizens. For instance, every region is equally developed in terms of hospitals, schools, social amenities, and road networks. It was not just the presence of these facilities, but the provision of quality services equitably to all the citizens is what made social justice a good practice (Chaffee, 2013). Quality housing, education and in addition, quality primary health care were considered a prerogative ...

A person’s political philosophy pertains to their ideologies regarding politics as a science; meaning of justice; execution of liberties; ownership of property in the society, articulation of human rights; application of the law along with measures of enforcement.

As such, the exploration of my political philosophy will be addressed accordingly as it relates to the aforementioned subject areas or branch of disciplines. At first a world view of these interwoven political dichotomies will be presented followed by my personal interpretations of how just/fair a political system ought ...

_______________ University Educating people on global citizenship has become increasingly important in today’s society. “As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, exposure to global cultures affords individuals opportunities to develop global identities.” (Reysen & Katzarska-Miller, 2012, p. 858) The importance of properly educating others on global citizenship is that it will lead to a world where people will be equal and receive better justice. Furthermore, global citizenship education would lead human rights being available to everyone. While the global citizen may become more anonymous in a globalized society, it is that same globalized society that allows for interaction between different groups. ( ...

Social Justice, Equality and Ferguson

Social justice is a form of correction for the daily injustices so many minorities and underprivileged people deal with in their daily lives. It recognizes the need for a system which ensures each individual is allowed the right to live a life free of discrimination; be it sexual, religious or racial. Oftentimes social justice finds itself brought to the forefront due to a particular incident which epitomizes many of the issues central to this definition. Incidents which demonstrate exactly how inequity and prejudice are perpetuated in our societies. The shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri has been one such hot ...

Racism and Social Justice

What is racism, and is racism a social justice issue? In order to answer this question, there is a need to define social justice. Basically, social justice is about equal justice for all people, not just in courts but also in all societal aspects. Social justice requires that people have equal opportunities and rights, regardless of race, color, class or nationality. Based on this definition, racism is therefore a social justice issue. Racism can be described as the belief that different races have dissimilar cultural traits which bequeath some races with an inherent superiority over other races. This often results in aggressive ...

Pragmatism

Around 1870 in the United States, the philosophical tradition of pragmatism began, with the most notable early pragmatists being John Dewey, William James, and Charles Sanders Pierce. The core of the philosophy was the pragmatist maxim, which was tracing the hypotheses and their contents back to their ‘practical consequences.’ Dewey, a leader in the field of the study of education, looks at the pragmatic situation as having a pattern of inquiry which he equates to a practical method of solving problems. This system involves checking one’s surroundings, using his scientific method of inquiry to solve problems, and when first faced with a ...

1.0 Criminal Injustice 1.1 Introduction Criminal justice is crucial just like any other form of justice in any country.

South Carolina is also another state that experiences relatively high rates of human trafficking. To curb these high rates of human trafficking, a special task force that exclusively deals with human trafficking cases and that ...

Laws are enacted to maintain social order and status quo in the society.

In most countries including America, criminals who are convicted for committing capital crimes such as murder, robbery with violence, rape and treason are punished through death penalty.

Introduction

Developmental social work and developmental social welfare are concepts that have featured prominently on the global scene. Developmental social work is an approach that emphasizes on the roles of professional practice and social investment. It is these social investments that fulfill the material needs of the clients of social work. Additionally, the social investments facilitate the integration of social workers in to the economic and social life of the community. Theorists believe that developmental social workers perceive the strengths and capabilities of their clients to be amplified by the public services and resources (Midgley & Conley, 2010). In their ...

Social justice, racism and discrimination are correlated and have a rich history that dates back hundreds of years ago. These vices are brought about by social variations among members of a certain location or state. In the United States for instance social justice is majorly influenced by social class, sex, sexual orientation and race. In the 18th and 19th centuries, social injustices in western countries were prevalent where blacks were openly discriminated for their color and entirely served as slaves for the whites. However this humiliation slowly faded away when reforms in social justice were accommodated in the constitution and the ...

Community Counseling

Community counseling is an ambiguous term which many misinterpret as meaning counseling which is carried out in a group setting. However, whilst this might be the case in some circumstances, it is in fact a term which refers more specifically to the idea of system change rather than just individual change (Dryden et al, 2009, p485). The central idea of community counseling is to work with individuals who have been marginalized by society as this helps to “create self-aware social change” through work which Kagan and Burton (2005) states as being “underpinned by the clearly articulated values linked to a social justice ...

Introduction:

Capability deprivation is definitely a more effective way to combat poverty then simply raising the poor’s incomes. This will mean that those who are currently in a situation of unhappiness and deprivation will eventually be lifted out of this terrible environment where they cannot arrive at any sort of goals in their lives. In her seminal essay, Amartya Sen argues that poverty must first be seen as the deprivation of the ten specific cabailities which mean that humans lead a basically healthy and happy life. She also argues that the mere increase in comes will do nothing more than lift people ...

Q1. Insider Trading can be defined as any price-sensitive and confidential knowledge and information that can give an unfair advantage to a an individual or an entity when selling and buying shares belonging to a publicly traded company. Machan (2003) states that “There seems to be no end to how fiercely commercial success is demeaned among many of those who preach and reflect upon morality.”In his opinion, a clear cut definition of the term ‘fair’ should be decided upon. Insider training is immoral, because it essentially does provide one with prosperity by playing on others fortune. However, it does not ...

Initial hypothesis:

The introduction of the racism of an era gone is purely interrogative in the paper. We introduce the African American hypothesis of racist upbringing to African people migrating to America and from their homeland. Investigating the origin of the African continent, the demography, the cultural, economic and institutional aspects derive great strength and notion in value. People have been subject to slavery to avoid and lessen hard labour as elsewhere. The racist taste for maintaining relation is to defeat a purpose to development. Single white race superiority is also an idea that is explored in the entire detail.

Empowerment is classically defined as “granting or giving authority” weather it is by physical or financial means. However the term has been more recently applied in the context of health care policy and the improvement of the quality of healthcare. This broader meaning has expanded to include a focus on self – realization and self help (Loukanova and Bridges, 2008). Mental health and physical health are linked; this is why problems such as anxiety and depression are treated with exercise and dietary regimens in the treatment plans for patients suffering from these problems, which in fact is many in the worldwide ...

Abstract

Making a difference between social development and economic development has proven to be considerably difficult for many people, including scholars. Similarly, people find difficulties in trying to establish the difference between social development and social change. While this has been the state of affairs for quite a long time, it still is difficult for the most learned people to differentiate social development from cultural development. Clearly, social development is a complicated concept. Scholars and authors have constantly given various definitions of social development. Even so, most of the scholars and social scientists agree on the indicators of social development. For instance, most ...

Nurses as Professionals

Several people and organizations have tried to define nursing. Currently there are several definitions of nursing. However, ANA (2003) definition of nursing that nursing is “the practical promotion and optimization of health and abilities, prevention of illness and injury, alleviation of suffering through the diagnosis and treatment of human response and the advocacy in the care of individual, families, communities and populations” (as cited Meleis, 2011 and Masters, 2005) is perhaps the most commonly used definition of nursing. I am of the opinion that nursing is basically the taking care of people who need special care and attention. ...

The role of the Australian government in child protection

The Australia Institute of Health and Welfare Report, Child protection Australia, 2008-2009 reported that 34,000 children were moved from their parents and placed in out-of-home care (Narushima, 2010). The number was an increase of 9% from the previous year. The report also noted that compared to non-indigenous children, indigenous aboriginal children were 7 times more likely to be abused, and even more likely to be placed in out-of-home care (Narushima, 2010). Moreover, the report noted that while boys were likely to suffer physical abuse, girls were likely to suffer sexual abuse.

In response to these developments, the Australian ...

Any reasonable human action have to pursue a specific goal, otherwise you can call it meaningless. The objectives largely determine the ways, methods and means of achieving them. These provisions relate entirely to the objectives of criminal penalties, which have a strong, often a determining influence on all the criminal law. So, if the main objective of punishment - retribution declare, the wages of crime, respectively, the most popular sanction should be the death penalty.

The USA is a Classless Society The myth of America is a classless society as identified by Karl Max can be supported by the elements of reality in the country.

My opinion on the case

This case serves as an example to how hollow the law is. The only remedy that the system can foresee is that the defendant will commit crimes repeatedly. There is no scope for rehabilitation. The system of Justice and prisons were implemented to prevent criminal behavior. The prisons of this nation are not dumping grounds for law. The Justice System should not view the Three Strikes Law as an option to lock up people. It should be used to ensure that recidivism is prevented by implementing rehabilitation programs for newly released convicts (FindLaw, 2014).

Review and apply the criteria used for this case for the Three Strikes Law
