Otterettes Discussion Notes
"Social Justice is fairness."
Social justice is important in schools and in your own life, because we need to treat people how you would like to be treated. One step can always lead to another.
As educators, we need to educate our children at a younger age about social justice so it will continue into their higher education.
Everyone has their own definition of what social justice is. We need to give children the opportunity to create such a definition.
Some people may ignore social justice, because it is not noticeable in their lives; they have not experienced some issues that others may have lived through.
"The struggle for social justice must continue, no society has achieved it."
Keep pushing for more social justice!
As human beings, will we ever be content?
Sometimes people donate money to charity to make themselves look good in the eyes of society. Social justice may never be achieved, but it is something to strive for.
How has your definition of social justice shifted through life experiences?
Everyone doesn't need to be equal, it's more about acceptance and tolerance.
Not every child is privileged. Some children are blinded by social injustice, because they didn't live through it.
Teach the concepts of social justice at younger ages- it doesn't need a title to understand it.
Social justice is awareness.
If poverty is off the table, the roots of social justice will not be addressed.
Poverty is a root cause of issues resolving around social injustice.
Pushing poverty aside is ignoring a big issue of inequality.
We have resources, but are not educated on them. Spreading awareness on such issues could help the fight for social justice.
