I believe that their should be a universal understanding of Social Justice. I think that this would be really crucial when it comes to problem solving around the world it is also something that we can refer to if it existed.
Philosophy of Social Justice
The concept of social justice is very hard to discuss for the reason that a lot of people interpret social justice with their own morals. Not everyone has the same morals and for this reason not everyone has the same concept of social justice. For me social justice is being aware of your surroundings and not to take advantage of anyone. Only taking what is necessary and nothing more, what I mean by this is not consuming so much when we know that a lot of the stuff we have is not necessary, this can be food, materials and a lot of other variety of stuff. Social justice is also stepping up for our mistakes and fixing them before they can create any harm. When thinking about social justice we need to take into consideration other individuals because we cannot make it comfortable for ourselves but leave other individuals in awkward positions.
There are a lot of injustices in the world and some too far for us to worry about but there are injustices all over our surroundings where we can act on. We have a lot of people living pay check to pay check with only the bare necessity but then we have their bosses’ who probably live in good homes and have enough money to put their kids through college already. That is an injustice because the supporter of the family can be doing the hard work at his company but need to worry if he’s going to have enough money to support his family that week.
Obstacles we face trying to achieve social justice is first knowing what social justice is or knowing when an injustice occurs. If we do not know either one of these then how can we ever fight back. I think that we need to have a universal understanding of what social justice is because this would make it much easier in picking out injustices in the world and fixing them. Having a universal understanding of social justice would be good because other individuals around the world will be able to fight back and have the support of other people around the world.
My vision for struggle in social justice is that not everyone thinks that what they are doing is bad. A lot of people now a day are egocentric and this is when the injustices become to occur. Some examples of these are big corporations thinking of themselves and taking their businesses elsewhere because of lower wages which benefits them also no taxes and more profits. We can say these corporations are egocentric and only look to making more money for themselves even if it comes in the cost of exploiting workers.
I see myself working to help the community I don’t think we should be looking across seas if we have injustices occurring here. I think that my community gets taken advantage a lot but that’s because we are mainly all Latinos. I don’t think we can help people that don’t want to be helped so the first step would be to make our community aware of what is going on and ask if they would like our help in return with their support. This can ultimately create us into a strong community ending exploitation and a lot of other problems we have.
This world is full of envy, which is meant to bring people down instead of encouraging them to do well in life. These are the types of reasons why there is so much violence and corruptness in the world. Social justice should be something that should come to everyone like common sense it should not be hard to know right from wrong. There are a lot of controversial topics were it is hard to determine what is the injustice and what is social justice. I wish there was a universal definition for social justice to make it easier to define and live by. This could make a lot of misunderstandings come to solutions. It can be a law by the people for the better of the people. Social justice should almost be a peacemaker away to get everyone to do the right thing a tiebreaker between arguments, an agreement that fits everybody. Social justice should be something we are thought from the beginning of life. It should be embedded in us like culture. It should be something as easy defining your hometown. This is just my opinion but it can be the start to what social justice can become.
