Things To Know About Social Justice Reform

By Gary Peterson


When too many people are incarcerated, it can lead to big problems. There are many instances in which the prison system just doesn't work out because people are simply thrown into a locked cage with a bunch of other criminals, some far worse than themselves, and are not put through programs that help them function as normal civilians when they get out. While some prisons do a good job of this, it is the exception and not the rule, indicating the need for social justice reform.

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.

Some people are of the mind that protestors should just keep their mouths shut and stay at home, and that they do much more harm than good in their opinions. However, there are countless times in which the work of protestors has led to real legislative change happening. The reason why this works is that it draws a lot of public attention to the issue, meaning there will be more pressure on the politicians to do what's right.

It might help to fully understand what social justice is before proceeding any further since you'll have a hard time grasping the more in-depth concepts if you don't learn the basics. All you need to know is that it's a concept of fair relations. Those relations include both individuals and society as a whole.

When wealth is not distributed fairly, people can have a much harder time pursuing happiness and taking care of their family. What often happens is a very small group of people wind up with most of the money. In order for things to be fair, the wealth has to be distributed a little bit more evenly, otherwise, there will always be those who are poor and can't afford to feed their children a good meal, leading to countless more generations of poverty down the line.

There are some who might not be sure what opportunity for personal activity means or how important it is. The thing that makes it so cardinal to the issue is that if people aren't treated fairly by society, they can't do the things they want to do. This is a major injustice.

Without being able to find a good job, some people aren't able to do the things that they would really love to do. When someone can't move up from their station in life, that is called a lack of social mobility. It is a very sad and frustrating thing when it happens to you.

If you are on the verge of going hungry and don't have anywhere to go, a safety net might be the exact thing you need. Without this assurance, you might fear for your life and do something drastic you'll regret. Having these safety nets is very important not only for the people who are living in poverty and don't know what to do, but also for those who are around them as well.
