Assignment 3: Defining Social Justice

•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.

•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.
