Assignment 3: Defining Social Justice

Social justice has been defined in different ways, but the definitions usually include similar ideologies. As you study the concept of social justice, you will come across some of the following ideas:

Historical inequities that affect current injustices should be corrected until the actual inequities no longer exist or have been perceptively “negated.”
Wealth, power, and status should be redistributed for the good of the individual, the community, and the society.
It is the responsibility of the government (or those who hold significant power) to ensure a basic quality of life for all its citizens.

From country to country social justice is defined in different ways, and the definitions usually include ideologies as well as differences. Research the definition of social justice in the United States using your textbook, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet. Select another country to examine its definition of social justice in order to analyze the ideologies and similarities using the following steps:

Analyze the ideologies.
Identify the similarities.
Using your reasoning skills, give supporting statements or arguments that support your position(s) about the social justice.

Your comparing and contrasting must consider the following:

Historical values and ideologies of the country
Economic structure of the country
Discrimination issues, if any exist

Develop a 2–3-page analysis of the definitions of social justice in the U.S. and a country of your choice. Analyze the ideologies, identify their similarities, and explain how these factors support your statements or arguments about the social justice you’ve selected. Support your explanations with a minimum of two scholarly sources in addition to the course text and apply APA standards to citation of sources

You are going to college because it is relevant to the career you want to pursue. What is this career? Research and describe the social and economic characteristics of your profession: What type of people does it employ (gender, race, education, etc.)? What are the typical conditions of employment (pay, unions, stability, etc.)? How is this profession doing today in the economy, in your state, and in the U.S. as a whole (unemployment, location, projections, etc.)? What are the major issues it is facing? Then, think about how you chose this career and what the information you just presented means for you in this profession in the future. Whenever appropriate, link the information you present to concepts, theories, facts, and core values of “community and social justice” from the course.

The paper will be a minimum of seven (7) pages in length and include a title page and a reference page, using a standard 12-point font. You may use additional resources, provided they are appropriately cited. You are required to use the American Sociological Association (ASA) formatting style to format your paper and sources. Information on ASA is available in the course under Resources
