Philosophy
1.)Social Justice to me is when society is facing a very difficult time either with someone (individual or group of people) or with something. During the conflict or problem solutions are trying to be made then there comes the ansrw to their porblems. The poeple over come the porblem to get to their solution. Also like MD would say "Upset the Setup" so do what other don't expect one to do or understand. An example is like when we did the walk out. Just seeing everyone from the school so united and following to what we thought was right showed a lot of who we are as a school. This is what SOCIAL JUSTICE is all about and what I have learned to love. Even though thru the years the definition of Social Justice has changed for back then it was more like how verbaly one can make a change in society. Now is more like taking action and sharing the knowlegde with the poeple around.
2.)Reason why we haven't achieved Social Justice is for a lot of factors. The major factor is because the people that have obtained the power dont really want change, they just think about how issues are going to benefit them not one. Like when the Civil Rights movement was happening in the U.S one sees how poeple actually did something for equal treatment and as a result tey obtained what they mostly wanted,freedom. We don't have Social Justice because we or at least the school lately haven't shown what Social Justice is about. I guess also lack of dedication we have toward of this school. Historical cases I learned was the celotex cite as well that Little Village faced for a park. Parents wanted a perk for the kids to play in but couldn't for the reason that the land was contaminated with Celotex on top of the soil. Also the people of the Tar comapny had to clean up the contaminated area.
3.)My role of struggle is that just the fact that living in a color community of low income makes me have to struggle a lot either in education, just my statis of being a latina as a whole. I expect to contribute to struggle by letting my love of this case also my neigborhood to be aware of what is happening around us. What I will do is that to try to do my research on it and try to explain it to classmates. Historical example of struggle is how back the women were trying to vote and they couldn't as hard as they tried. But for women motivating and inspiring one another they all came together. Once they all untied they got the chance that now today we have, which is voting. My fire is overpopulation for this issue is impacting the whole world and to be direct eachone of our houses. We are all being exposed to what the 1% of poeple in power are doing such as GM foods and killing our own planet when we all have the choice of change. My future will reflect by not only letting my present peers know of what is going on in society right now but bringing this research to my future collaeges and informing them what was and is going on in the world.
