Editor's Notes
- For my presentation, I’m going to focus on “Social Justice” because we are living in a time of hightened sensitivities to inequality. There is a growing gap between the rich and poor.
- Searching “Social Justice” as a subject term and food and an optional term, I have 37 relevant results.
- Broad concept: Civil Rights, narrow topics: civil rights movement(s), civil rights workers, African American civil rights, Mexican American civil rights, Human Rights
- Broad topic/concept: Movement, narrow topic: Early childhood obesity. Letsmove.gov
- Concept: Justice, narrow topics: Racial profiling, “Stop-and-frisk,” NORML (National Association for the Reformation of Marijuana Laws).
- Concept: Poverty, narrow topics: Poverty and women, causes of poverty, homelessness, welfare. This definition is a paraphrase of the topic Poverty in Credo Reference>Poverty and Government in America.
