Definitions of Social Justice

1. "Social justice is justice exercised within a society, particularly as it is exercised by and among the various social classes of that society. A socially just society is based on the principles of equality and solidarity, understands and values human rights, and recognizes the dignity of every human being."  (Wikipedia,  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_justice  9/4/2012)

2. "Social Justice, also known as economic justice, is a term describing the redistribution of wealth for the common good of all. However, this comes at the expense of wage earners and liberty by demanding a society to conform. Those who work and have must give to those who don't work and don't have. This is the fundamental basis of Marxism and championed by liberal progressives. Everyone shall have equal advantages and everyone will have equal disadvantages. In reality it creates two classes, those with power and everyone else."  (Conservapedia, http://conservapedia.com/Social_justice  9/4/2012)

3. "The fair and proper administration of laws conforming to the natural law that all persons, irrespective of ethnic origin, gender, possessions, race, religion, etc., are to be treated equally and without prejudice." (Business Dictionary, http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/social-justice.html  9/4/2012)

4. "Social justice is about equality and fairness between human beings. It works on the universal principles that guide people in knowing what is right and what is wrong. This is also about keeping a balance between groups of people in a society or a community. A fair perception about race, age, gender, culture, laws, traditions, beliefs is considered a good balance. Social justice happens when a person or group of persons do not harbor prejudices that are detrimental to peaceful and productive relationships among individuals or groups."

5. "Definition:

The distribution of advantages and disadvantages within a society."

(Dictionary.com,  http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/social+justice  9/4/2012)

Social Justice

1. The biggest similarity of all the different definitions is that each definition incorporates social equality for all, no matter what race, gender, or ethnic background. a huge difference between my definitions is that the second definition states that in reality social justice sometimes does not work how it is supposed to and it creates two classes. A class with power and a class with none. i find that interesting because no other definition seems to talk about that

2. The definition that I think is most correct is my 4th definition. To me this definition makes the most sense and is the most basic to understand

3. I think that social justice should be enforced by all humans. People need to be fair and Equal to one another without and prejudice to make the world a better place.

4. After researching Social Justice i will be more educated while reading The Ones Who Walked Away from Omelas and i will approach it with an open mind.

BlogPost#1

Hi my name is Kyle Morris, I am from Mentor Ohio and my primary email is kmorris16@jcu.edu

   I am into many things, my favorite sport is Basketball and in my free time I like to watch movies. One of my favorite movies of all time is Shawshank Redemption. If you have not seen it give it a shot. 

Learning

  In the class room I like helping other people and working with others to make things more fun. For me to feel comfortable in the class room I need to feel that everyone else in the class room is as relaxed as I am. if people are willing to hear my ideas then i am willing to hear theirs as well.

Technology

   I feel that the airplane is one of the best inventions of all time because without it places would feel too distant. No one wants to ride across the country in a car when they could fly there in 3 hours.

  Essential technology’s in my life include:

1. IPhone
2. Computer
3. WIFI
4. The internet
5. T.V.   

The last Two years i have not used much social networking cites. I do not have FaceBook and my twitter is only for this class. I do, however, really like computers. I am no hacker but i do have some skills on a computer. I use it mostly for school work and listening to music. Overall i would rate my self a 6.5 on the scale
