“People create social conditions and people can change them.” Meaning that there is always something that we can do about that we dislike.There are several meanings of what social Justice can truly mean. However, for me what social justice means is hearing both sides of an altercation and figuring out why both sides went wrong. Although, there can always be a lot of versions of a story that can change our perspective in whether we decide which injustice was right or wrong. Nonetheless, there’s always a side that has more voice and sounds more reasonable and that for me is when justice is made because in the end a side wins. However, social justice literally means human rights and equalities in our society.
The obstacles that we face in our daily lives when trying to achieve social justice is basically racism. Racism has always been an obstacle for people of color. Especially us who live in low income communities. We are always looked down because the stereotype of a person who lives in an low income community is always seen as a person who will never do anything big with their life. However, most of us overcome that stereotype and show people otherwise. Although, it is sad that we have to prove ourselves ten times more than those who are privileged.
The things that helps us achieve social justice is being your own person and being able to express yourself extensively. Being a person who says as they feel is a person with power. A person who doesn’t stand up for his or hers opinion about injustices is another person who just makes things worse. There is a reason in why there’s freedom of speech, since us as people have that right we are capable of speaking about the way we feel about these types of injustices. But, not just one person can make a difference and that is way many of us should express ourselves more so in that way our voices can be heard.
My role in the struggle is to speak out about issues that concern me and also help out those who know about certain issues, so that it can be heard and not ignored. Our society is already brutal as it is and helping those whose voices haven’t been heard because they’re afraid to speak up can get encouragement out of me because I’m being their supporter. Also, I do believe that everyone’s role throughout the struggle should be peaceful and not violent because violence only creates more heat and we honestly do not want that because when that starts our voices will be seen as a joke. I’m honestly not sure what I’m going to pursue as my career as of now, but these experiences can help me get an idea of what I want to do in my life.
My project is connected to social justice because these companies do so much damage when manufacturing a shoe that not only is an issue for the workers, but also the environment. Once the environment is damaged then everything goes downhill from there. There can be pollution which then leads to global warming. These shoe companies obviously only do what’s right for them but never see the bad outcomes that their brand is actually doing to others. Therefore, it is a social justice issue because not only is it affecting the people, but where there people live.
