Learning About Social Justice Reform

By Gary Peterson


One major problem that's been going on in many countries around the world since essentially the dawn of civilization is the over-incarceration of criminals. People will be arrested too often or else kept in jail for too long, and there are many problems that arise that are a direct effect of this going on. It's going to take serious social justice reform to fix all of the problems that our society currently still faces, but if enough people with the right ideas in mind join forces, and if enough generations work at it for long enough, it is something that can be done.

It is a tragic thing that so many racist minds are getting so much attention these days, and the talk on the internet has turned to very hurtful, ignorant, and prejudiced chatter. People need to meet and interact with people of other races in order to counter this evil way of thinking. Otherwise, more and more people of certain races will continue to be targeted by the justice and legal systems.

There are many different occasions in which protesting has led to positive outcomes. This is definitely a way to draw more attention to an issue since otherwise, people can just forget about it in the storm of absurd news that keeps happening on a daily basis nowadays. One of the keys to a successful protest is that it is done in a peaceful and respectful manner, since otherwise you are not likely to change any minds, not to mention the fact that violence often insight violence in others, and you don't want to get into a situation where two large groups of people are pitting themselves against each other.

A great thing to remember is that social justice is a fairly specific thing, yet it encompasses a broad range of issues. If you happen to be new to the subject, it might be helpful to learn a little more before proceeding. What the concept is is a fairness between individuals and the society that they live in, so it is all about that relationship being just.

Wealth is often not distributed very fairly. This leads to many people who are poor and hungry and some people who have all the money and live lives of luxury. To avoid this from happening, a major reform must occur.

People won't be able to do the things they want to do and get the jobs that they want to have if they don't have the same opportunities as everybody else. It is very unfortunate when this happens. This emphasizes the importance of opportunities for personal activity.

Some people don't feel like they can ever achieve a higher station in life. For some folks, this is tragically true due to the fact that they live in an area where they will not be able to find a good job to support themselves, and particularly if they have a family, they certainly can't afford to go back to school in order to get a better-paying job. Those are cases where there is an utter lacking of social mobility.

It is important for vulnerable people to have safety nets for when they are at their lowest and most desperate, lacking enough money to buy food even. That way, they won't be put in life-threatening or inhumane situations. Sometimes, just knowing you have that safety net can completely change a person's life.
