Learning About Social Justice Reform

By Gary Peterson


A big problem these days is people being put into jail for far too long or far too often. Not only does this add up tremendously as far as the amount of money that taxpayers have to put into the criminal system, but it actually makes it harder for people who have committed crimes to become good people again. This exemplifies the need for social justice reform.

It is an unfortunate thing that there are still so many racist people in the world today. It is a big issue that has contributed to these issues in social justice. When racism infiltrates the police stations, people are really in trouble since sometimes, there is not much to protect innocent individuals who are only targeted because of their race from a prejudiced cop in a bad mood.

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.

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.

There are times when people are so limited in their life opportunities that they can feel like they can't get anywhere. Unfortunately, in some cases, they are absolutely right. A big change has to happen for these people to be able to find good jobs and do the things that they want to do.

Social mobility is the ability to rise up in social class. If this is not something that people can easily do, there is something going wrong with the society. The problem that happens is some people will just be destined to be lower class and others will be basically royal, which just isn't right.

If you are constantly worried that you're going to go broke or hungry, it's impossible to be happy. It's also very hard to make good decisions. That's why having safety nets for these people is so important.
