Learning 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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.
