Promoting Social Justice

Promoting social justice is a complex task because issues of fairness, injustice, and discrimination are not always black and white. Tribe and Bell (2018) explain that there is a need to find a harmonious balance between freedom and social equality. There are instances where when expressing freedom and an individual might compromise social equality. For example, a person might use the concept of freedom of expression to speak ill about a group of culturally different people. Emotional intelligence demands that people are sensitive to the feelings of others when making remarks about diversity. In the contemporary world, people living in diverse societies often encounter circumstances where a person or a group of people make negative remarks towards individuals of difference, race, religion, ability level, or sexual orientation. Understanding how to respond in such situations without unnecessarily creating tension is necessary. Practicing caution and tolerance is crucial because, in most instances, people make negative remarks in such cases as a result of ignorance rather than arrogance. Therefore, it is essential to understand why a person is making such remarks before rebuking them. There are instances where it is also prudent to walk away when there is the possibility that any response may worsen the conflict.
The last time I thought about race, gender, and ethnicity was during the recent protests and riots by Black Lives Matter advocacy group members. The issue was not just about African Americans but included white Americans and other races. Furthermore, the protests took a global perspective when the group heightened its online presence. The demonstrations prompted me to think about the centuries of racial discrimination and the atrocities delved against minority groups. In addition, I was disturbed about whether social justice is an attainable goal or merely a utopian dream.

Children and Families

Social justice debates have promoted recognizing vulnerable groups and crucial institutions requiring special attention. For instance, children are often given priority during difficult times such as natural calamities. Whereas adults can usually take care of themselves, children often suffer most during such disasters. As a result, they are always accorded special attention and priority. The family unit is considered the basis for every society. Therefore, it is always given privileges to keep members together, and children grow up in safe environments. However, children and families also experience unique challenges. Children often suffer from decisions made by their parents because, as minors, they cannot make severe choices concerning essential issues in life. Families also experience challenges due to emerging dynamics that do not favor the unit. For example, harsh economic conditions that require both parents to work deny children the chance to enjoy parental love. These conditions also place unnecessary pressure on parents, often affecting their mental health.

Conclusion

Social justice is an essential consideration for positive outcomes in society. A personal reflection on the matter is crucial to encourage understanding and ensure that individuals take responsibility for promoting fairness and justice. Promoting social justice is vital because it gives each person a role. When discussing the philosophy, there is a need to pay special attention to children and families. The discourses should not be limited to cultural issues such as gender, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.
