8 Tips For Writing A Social Justice Essay

Social justice covers a variety of issues involving race, gender, age, sexual orientation, income equality and much more. How do you write an essay on a social justice issue that’s engaging, informative and memorable? Here are eight tips you should take to heart when writing:

When writing a social justice essay, you should brainstorm for ideas, sharpen your focus, identify your purpose, find a story, use a variety of sources, define your terms, provide specific evidence and acknowledge opposing views.

#1. Brainstorm creatively

Before you start writing your social justice essay, you need a topic. Don’t hesitate to look far and wide for inspiration. Read other social justice essays, look at recent news stories, watch movies and talk to people who are also interested in social justice. At this stage, don’t worry about the “trendiness” of your idea or whether a lot of people are already writing about it. Your topic will evolve in response to your research and the arguments you develop. At the brainstorming stage, you’re focused on generating as many ideas as possible, thinking outside the box and identifying what interests you the most. Take a free online course to get a better understanding of social justice.

You can take a creative brainstorming approach! A blog on Hubspot offers 15 creative ideas such as storyboarding, which involves laying out ideas in a narrative form with terms, images and other elements. You can also try freewriting, which is when you choose something you’re interested in. Next, write down everything you already know, what you need to know but don’t already, why the topic matters and anything else that comes to mind. Freewriting is a good exercise because it helps you decide if there’s any substance to a topic or if it’s clear there’s not enough material for a full essay.

#2. Sharpen your topic’s focus

The best essays narrow on a specific social justice topic and sharpen its focus, so it says something meaningful and interesting. This is often challenging, but wrestling with what exactly you want your essay to say is worth the effort. Why? An essay with a narrow, sharp focus has a clearer message. You’re also able to dig deeper into your topic and provide better analysis. If your topic is too broad, you’re forced to skim the surface, which produces a less interesting essay.

How do you sharpen your essay’s focus? Grace Fleming provides several tips on ThoughtCatalog . First, you can tell your topic is too broad if it can be summarized in just 1-2 words. As an example, “health inequity” is way too broad. Fleming suggests applying the questions, “Who, what, where, when, why and how,” to your topic to narrow it down. So, instead of just “health inequity,” you might end up with something like “The impact of health inequity in maternal healthcare systems on Indigenous women.” Your topic’s focus may shift or narrow even further depending on the research you find.

#3. Identify your purpose

As you unearth your topic and narrow its focus, it’s important to think about what you want your essay to accomplish. If you’re only thinking about your essay as an assignment, you’ll most likely end up with a product that’s unfocused or unclear. Vague sentiments like “Everyone is writing about social justice” and “Social justice is important” are also not going to produce an essay with a clear purpose. Why are you writing this essay? Are you wanting to raise awareness of a topic that’s been historically ignored? Or do you want to inspire people to take action and change something by giving them concrete how-to strategies? Identifying your purpose as soon as possible directs your research, your essay structure and how you style your writing.

If you’re not sure how to find your purpose, think about who you’re writing for. An essay written for a university class has a different audience than an essay written for a social justice organization’s social media page. If there are specific instructions for your essay (professors often have requirements they’re looking for), always follow them closely. Once you’ve identified your purpose, keep it at the front of your mind. You’ll produce an essay that’s clear, focused and effective.

#4. Find a human story

The best social justice essays don’t only provide compelling arguments and accurate statistics; they show your topic’s real-world impact. Harvard’s Kennedy School’s communications program describes this process as “finding a character.” It’s especially useful when you’re writing something persuasive. Whatever your topic, try to find the human stories behind the ideas and the data. How you do that depends on the nature of your essay. As an example, if you’re writing something more academic, focusing too much on the emotional side of a story may not be appropriate. However, if you’re writing an essay for an NGO’s fundraising campaign, focusing on a few people’s stories helps your reader connect to the topic more deeply.

How do you choose what stories to feature? Harvard suggests choosing someone you have access to either through your research or as an interview subject. If you get the opportunity to interview people, make sure you ask interesting questions that dig beneath the surface. Your subject has a unique perspective; you want to find the information and stories only they can provide.

#5. Rely on a variety of sources

Depending on your essay’s purpose and audience, there might be certain sources you’re required to use. In a piece for Inside Higher Ed, Stephanie Y. Evans describes how her students must use at least 10 source types in their final paper assignment. Most of the time, you’ll have a lot of freedom when it comes to research and choosing your sources. For best results, you want to use a wide variety. There are a few reasons why. The first is that a variety of sources gives you more material for your essay. You’ll access different perspectives you wouldn’t have found if you stuck to just a few books or papers. Reading more sources also helps you ensure your information is accurate; you’re fact-checking sources against one another. Expanding your research helps you address bias, as well. If you rely only on sources that reflect your existing views, your essay will be much less interesting.

While we’re talking about sources, let’s touch on citations. If you’re writing an essay for school, your teacher will most likely tell you what citation method they want you to use. There are several depending on the discipline. As an example, in the United States, social science disciplines like sociology and education tend to use the American Psychological Association (APA) style. Some places are very rigid about citation styles, while others are more relaxed. If you’re writing an essay where your citation won’t be checked, you still need to give credit to any ideas, thoughts, or research that’s not yours. Proper citation builds trust with your reader and boosts your credibility.

Here are more tips on writing a human rights essay!

#6. Define your key terms

To make your essay as clear and effective as possible, you want every reader on the same page right at the beginning. Defining your key terms is an important step. As Ian Johnston writes, creating an effective argument requires “the establishment of clear, precise, and effective definitions for key terms in the arguments.” You may have to adapt an existing definition or write your own. Johnston offers principles such as adjusting a definition based on the knowledge of who you’re writing for, focusing on what a term is and not just on its effects, and expanding a definition so it covers everything a reader needs to know.

How do you decide which terms are important in your essay? First, never assume a reader understands a term because it’s “obvious.” The most obvious terms are often the ones that need the clearest definitions. If your reader doesn’t know exactly what you’re talking about when you use a term like “health equity,” your essay won’t be as effective. In general, you want to define any terms relevant to your topic, terms that are used frequently and terms with distinct meanings in the context of your essay.

#7. Provide specific evidence and examples

Social justice issues are grounded in reality, so an essay should reflect that. Don’t spend your whole paper being philosophical or hypothetical. As an example, let’s say you’re writing an essay about desertification in Mali. Don’t discuss desertification as an abstract concept. Include real statistics and case studies on desertification in Mali, who it’s affecting the most and what is being done about it. For every argument you make, present supporting evidence and examples.

The strength of your evidence determines the strength of your arguments. How do you find strong evidence? Cite This For Me lists a handful of examples , such as studies, statistics, quotes from subject matter experts and/or reports, and case studies. Good evidence also needs to be accurate and in support of your argument. Depending on your essay topic, how current a piece of evidence is also matters. If you’re not relying on the most current evidence available, it can weaken your overall argument. Evidence should also be as specific as possible to your topic. Referring back to our desertification in Mali essay, that means locating examples of how desertification affects people in Mali , not in Chad or Russia.

Academic essay writing requires specific skills. Here’s an online introductory course on academic writing .

#8. Acknowledge your critics

Not every social justice essay requires an acknowledgment of opposing viewpoints, but addressing critics can strengthen your essay. How? It lets you confront your critics head-on and refute their arguments. It also shows you’ve researched your topic from every angle and you’re willing to be open-minded. Some people worry that introducing counterarguments will weaken the essay, but when you do the work to truly dissect your critic’s views and reaffirm your own, it makes your essay stronger.

The University of Pittsburgh offers a four-step strategy for refuting an argument. First, you need to identify the claim you’re responding to. This is often the trickiest part. Some writers misrepresent the claims of their critics to make them easier to refute, but that’s an intellectually dishonest method. Do your best to understand what exactly the opposing argument is claiming. Next, make your claim. You might need to provide specific evidence, which you may or may not have already included in your essay. Depending on the claim, your own thoughts may be a strong enough argument. Lastly, summarize what your claim implies about your critics, so your reader is left with a clear understanding of why your argument is the stronger one.

Social equality: on what it means to be equals

social justice and equality essay

Is equality valuable? This question dominates many discussions of social justice, which tend to center on whether certain forms of distributive equality are valuable, such as the equal distribution of primary social goods. But these discussions often neglect what is known as social or relational equality. Social equality suggests that equality is foremost about relationships and interactions between people, rather than being primarily about distribution. A number of philosophers have written about the significance of social equality, and it has also played an important role in real-life egalitarian movements, such as feminism and civil rights movements. However, as it has been relatively neglected in comparison to the debates about distributive equality, it requires much more theoretical attention. This volume brings together a collection of ten original essays which present new analyses of social and relational equality in philosophy and political theory. The essays analyze the nature of social equality, as well as its relationship to justice and politics.

This paper asks how the idea of ’equality’ between children and adults can be made a reality in the post 2015 development agenda. ‘Non-discrimination’ is a fundamental principle of children’s rights discourse, but is invariably thought of in terms of equality among children, not as equality between children and adults, while discrimination by adults against children is an accepted social norm. Also there is no equivalence in the responsibilities placed on children and adults. Adults are required to protect and care for children; children are in most societies expected to respect and honour adults, which makes for unequal power relationships. The view of children as incapable continues to be used to deny them equal rights, though the concept of ‘the evolving capacities of the child’ offers a more pragmatic solution.

This paper asks how the idea of ’equality’ between children and adults can be made a reality in the post 2015 development agenda. ‘Non-discrimination’ is a fundamental principle of children’s rights discourse, but is invariably thought of in terms of equality among children, not as equality between children and adults, while discrimination by adults against children is an accepted social norm. Also there is no equivalence in the responsibilities placed on children and adults. Adults are required to protect and care for children; children are in most societies expected to respect and honour adults, which makes for unequal power relationships. The view of children as incapable continues to be used to deny them equal rights, though the concept of ‘the evolving capacities of the child’ offers a more pragmatic solution. Considering these issues, how can the concept of ‘equality’ be meaningfully applied to relationships between children and adults? One response is found in the ‘children’s liberation’ literature, which calls for organised resistance to children’s oppression. However the issues are resistant to such an approach, and child liberation offers only a partial solution. An alternative approach is to recognise and tackle ‘adultism’, here defined as, “the belief that the adult human being is intrinsically superior to or of greater worth than the child, and the child, by default, inferior or of lesser worth”. Challenging adultism enables us to reconceptualise the underlying equality in child-adult relations, which includes equality as rights-holders, equality as ends rather than means and equality of human dignity.

Equity for Children initiated the Approaches to Equity study in 2013. Based on the conclusions and recommendations of a first report published in 2015, this paper will inform the second phase of the project and focuses on the importance of the equity approach in the urban context. Although eradicating rural poverty is still a challenge, the new reality, shaped by rapid and progressive urbanization around the world, with nearly 70 per cent of the world’s population expected to live in cities by 2050, makes adopting an equity approach in urban planning policies a crucial step towards achieving human progress and sustainable development. Addressing childhood inequities is not only a social justice issue but also a legal obligation for the states that ratified the U.N. Convention for the Rights of the Child. Children are the most affected by income and multidimensional poverty. Deprivations and inequalities suffered during childhood have life lasting consequences for children and there ...

In the context of a pre-existing resource inequality, the concerns for strict equality (allocating the same number of resources to all recipients) conflict with the concerns for equity (allocating resources to rectify the inequality). This study demonstrated age-related changes in children's (3-8 years old, N = 133) ability to simultaneously weigh the concerns for equality and equity through the analysis of children's judgements, allocations, and reasoning in the context of a pre-existing inequality. Three- to 4-year-olds took equity into account in their judgements of allocations, but allocated resources equally in a behavioural task. In contrast, 5- to 6-year-olds rectified the inequality in their allocations, but judged both equitable and equal allocations to be fair. It was not until 7-8 years old that children focused on rectifying the inequality in their allocations and judgements, as well as judged equal allocations less positively than equitable allocations, thereby ...

C hildren around the world are affected by discrimination and social exclusion due to their age, race, ethnicity, gender, religion, indigenous background, or other statuses. When considering the negative consequences of discrimination and social exclusion on children’s development and well-being, it is of paramount importance to examine the psychological origins of prejudice and discrimination in order to create effective intervention programs. Legal mandates are only one step towards the elimination of prejudice and discrimination; there is also a need for interventions to change social interactions and behavior. Surprisingly, such interventions are rarely informed by developmental theory and research. Taking an international perspective, this Social Policy Report describes a developmental framework on how children understand the cultural hierarchies, status, and power related to social groups as well as the social exchanges that contribute to both prejudice reduction and the promo...

Education is one of the most unequally distributed goods, and this has led to people's opportunities in life to differ greatly. Depending on how we conceive the value of education, the duties of the state regarding its distribution vary. This paper looks at the tension between two philosophical approaches to the value of education (individual and positional values), looking for a common ground where to support a more just and efficient distribution of educational opportunities for the world's most vulnerable children. The paper presents two approaches to the value of education (individual and positional), and analyzes how they affect its possible distribution. Second, it looks at our traditional framework of educational justice, based on meritocracy and equality of opportunity, and assesses its justifications, analyzing how it complies with the different values of education. The paper closes by presenting a possible redistributive mechanism for making the distribution of educational opportunities more just.

Social Justice, Equality and Ferguson

Social justice is a form of correction for the daily injustices so many minorities and underprivileged people deal with in their daily lives. It recognizes the need for a system which ensures each individual is allowed the right to live a life free of discrimination; be it sexual, religious or racial. Oftentimes social justice finds itself brought to the forefront due to a particular incident which epitomizes many of the issues central to this definition. Incidents which demonstrate exactly how inequity and prejudice are perpetuated in our societies. The shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri has been one such hot button issue. Along with the focus it has brought to the increasingly obstructive role law enforcement plays in our lives. Alongside the ever growing license allowed to police officials, to act with what they deem to be “judicious” force in the face of a refusal to comply. It has also brought to the forefront a long simmering feeling of racial victimization felt by the African American community at the hands of these officials. Much like the infamous Rodney King incident, this has been the catalyst to not only a huge outpouring of grief and anger in these communities, but also a nationwide self-assessment as to how specific minorities are being targeted and dealt with. Ferguson is in many ways a microcosm of many of the larger issues faced by the African American community, especially in regards to their attitude towards the police and vice versa. Even prior to the incident there had been long-simmering tensions between the police and these communities, with the department seen as a “for-profit” organization, with the municipal court making up one of the largest proportions of its revenue. The municipal court annually averaged three warrants per household. This is a city already faced with one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, people who can ill-afford these kind of strict sanctions on their behavior. Ferguson is city with a black majority, sixty-seven percent of its residents are black – the police force on the other hand is overwhelmingly white with a ninety-four percent representation. Already these dynamics belie a very strict, institutionalized power structure where one group is responsible for deciding and enforcing laws, and another group is almost helplessly subject to them. To this we add a history of disproportionate, some might say aggressive behavior towards civilians – the Michael Brown incident being the result of a culmination of events such as the beating of Henry Davis, rather than an outlier. Structural oppression can be seen here, whilst some may claim racism by individuals, it is not the particular circumstances of Michael Brown’s, shooting or the subsequent acquittal of Darren Wilson the police officer responsible that created social injustice. It is the hiring policies, the laws enforced and the lack of accountability asked of Ferguson’s police force. The aftermath of the incident has seen an outpouring of rioting and violence from the community, looting, ransacking and arson have all been witnessed. The police have responded in many cases, severely which has added to the general atmosphere of this being a war played across racial lines. In terms of what this incident and the subsequent discussion has achieved in terms of social justice, one thing is certain the amount of scrutiny now being given to the role of law enforcement in America in the media is now unmatched. This is especially true in regards to how police officers are seen to deal with young black males, the death of Eric Garner in New York City is perhaps an incident which would have received nowhere near the same media attention prior to Ferguson. The conversation is vital, but its efficacy can only be determined by how police departments and those in charge of their regulation respond to this increased scrutiny. Darren Wilson has been acquitted despite the intense furore. It remains to be seen what the results of the investigation into Daniel Pantaleo’s actions will be. Structural injustices towards the black community have been an issue since the civil rights marches of the 1960’s, and each progressive generation seems to have dealt with similar flashpoints. In order for true change to come of this, for progress to be made the awareness raised as a result of this incident has to be put into action. The rioting and violence that has been seen has also placed an ugly face on these outbursts of disaffection, allowing those in favor of current policing laws to justify their actions. For progress to be made, cooler heads must prevail.

The Ethics of Violating Existing laws

The extent to which an individual can pursue social justice, at the expense of legality depends largely upon how much faith one puts in laws and subsequent enforcement of those laws by the legal system. It can be argued that any framework which either intentionally or by omission works to restrict the rights and equal opportunities of a group cannot be said to fairly enforce the ideals of justice. The question of how to deal with structural opposition to a community or individual’s pursuit of equality and freedom can be dealt with broadly in three different fashions. You can work within the confines of the law, pursuing justice through the courts, or by lobbying representatives in the government to create better legislation for your causes. The alternatives are, to break the laws set in place by this basically unfair system to seek justice through resistance. Historically this resistance has taken two forms violent or active resistance, challenging the authority of those in positions of power. Or passive, non-violent forms of resistance such as the civil disobedience movements practice by Martin Luther King or Mahatma Gandhi, protest is such a form of disobedience. Of the two the latter has been a much championed method of challenging the rule of law without transgressing its moral boundaries. Individually, ethics often play a large part in the decisions people make to break laws for what they deem to be the greater good. Whistleblowers such as Edward Snowden violated several laws concerning confidentiality and the exchange of sensitive state information, however in doing so he revealed a comprehensive organization of surveillance constituting the violation of civil liberties on a scale previous unimagined. How much we can condone these actions depends largely on what we value more, the sanctity of the state and its institutions or the rights of the civilians which those institutions were founded to protect. By making the decision to violate laws in the pursuit of the greater social good, Snowden found himself the victim of threats of treason, and was forced to retreat into exile. Snowden acted as an individual his actions were ostensibly for the benefit of the public targeted by these surveillance programs. For individuals who make a stand against these laws as part of a community, or to better the lot of their families the consequences become far greater. An individual may risk imprisonment, but resistance by a group of people threatens the lives and well-being of many people, including those who take no active part, but are simply caught in the crossfire. When Lincoln violated the constitution in repealing slavery laws he essentially set in motion the events which would lead to the Civil War, in effect being responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Lincoln is seen by many to be the epitome of a moral leader, and although his sacrifices could be seen as in pursuit of social justice the repercussions may be felt to by many in the South to have outweighed his actions. In terms of morality, slavery is an issue with little room for grey areas, therefore violating existing laws when they uphold such a patently social unjust practice is not too controversial a decision. However, at some point the essential authority of these structures must be respected, otherwise the very basis for social justice, society, crumbles into anarchy. A healthy society must allow for its rules and traditions to be questioned, sometimes these questions may take the form of acts which violate laws. The people who do so, must face the consequences of these actions, checks and balances need to be in place to ensure that these punitive measures take into account the nature and context of the disobedience and are not simply tools the state uses to crack down on any dissenting views. In summation it can be seen that throughout history infringing upon laws in pursuit of greater equality has been a successful tactic for communities and individuals. It cannot be denied that these tactics have often come at a great cost to those people involved. The unfortunate reality is that sometimes it is necessary to sustain these injuries in order to ensure that clear limits are placed on the extent to which individuals and communities will allow the law to infringe upon their rights and freedoms.

Understanding social equality.

Social equality is a state where all individuals within a society have equal rights, opportunities, and status. It promotes fairness and justice, irrespective of one’s background, culture, or gender.

Importance of Social Equality

Social equality is crucial for the growth of a society. It ensures every person gets equal opportunities to learn, work, and contribute to the community. It fosters respect among individuals, enhancing social harmony.

Obstacles to Social Equality

Despite its importance, social equality often faces challenges like discrimination, bias, and prejudice. These barriers can be based on race, gender, religion, or socio-economic status.

Achieving Social Equality

Achieving social equality requires collective efforts. Education, law enforcement, and public awareness are key tools in promoting and maintaining social equality.

250 Words Essay on Social Equality

Introduction to social equality.

Social equality is a state of affairs wherein all individuals within a specific society or isolated group have the same status in certain respects. These aspects may include civil rights, freedom of speech, property rights, and equal access to social goods and services.

Theoretical Foundations of Social Equality

The philosophical underpinnings of social equality are rooted in the principles of human dignity and justice. The concept of human dignity asserts that every individual, by virtue of their humanity, is deserving of respect and consideration. Justice, on the other hand, demands the equitable distribution of opportunities and resources.

Social Equality in a Modern Context

In today’s diverse and globalized world, social equality is a multifaceted concept. It encompasses not only economic factors but also aspects of race, gender, age, disability, and sexual orientation. Despite progress, social inequality persists, often perpetuated by systemic biases and discrimination.

Social equality is crucial for the overall well-being and development of a society. It paves the way for social cohesion, economic prosperity, and political stability. Moreover, it fosters a sense of belonging and respect among individuals, promoting peace and harmony.

In conclusion, social equality is an integral element of a fair and just society. It is a continuous pursuit requiring collective effort and commitment. It is a goal that, while challenging, is essential for the creation of a more inclusive and equitable world.

500 Words Essay on Social Equality

Social equality is a fundamental principle that underpins the concept of a fair and just society. It is premised on the belief that all individuals, regardless of their ethnic, racial, gender, or socio-economic status, should have equal access to resources, opportunities, and social privileges.

The Importance of Social Equality

Social equality plays a pivotal role in fostering social cohesion and harmony. It mitigates social tensions and conflicts that arise from disparities in wealth and opportunities. Furthermore, it promotes human dignity and respect, as it acknowledges the inherent worth of every individual. Social equality also fosters innovation and productivity as it gives everyone an equal chance to contribute to societal progress.

Challenges to Social Equality

Despite its importance, achieving social equality remains a daunting challenge. Socio-economic disparities, deeply ingrained prejudices, and institutionalized discrimination continue to hinder the realization of this ideal. These barriers are often systemic, perpetuated by social structures and institutions that inadvertently favor certain groups over others.

The Role of Education in Promoting Social Equality

Education is a powerful tool for promoting social equality. It equips individuals with the knowledge and skills needed to participate fully in society. Moreover, it fosters critical thinking, enabling individuals to challenge prejudices and discriminatory practices. However, for education to effectively promote social equality, it must be accessible to all, irrespective of their socio-economic status.

The Role of Government in Upholding Social Equality

Governments have a crucial role in upholding social equality. They can enact laws and policies that prohibit discrimination and promote equal opportunities. For instance, affirmative action policies can help redress historical injustices and level the playing field for marginalized groups. However, these measures must be implemented judiciously to prevent reverse discrimination.

The Role of Individuals in Advancing Social Equality

While governments and institutions play a significant role, individuals also have a part in advancing social equality. This can be achieved by challenging discriminatory attitudes and behaviors, promoting inclusivity, and advocating for social justice. Individuals can also contribute by educating themselves about social issues and participating in civic activities aimed at promoting social equality.

Conclusion: The Path to Social Equality

Achieving social equality is a collective responsibility that requires the concerted efforts of individuals, communities, and governments. It calls for a paradigm shift, where society values diversity and inclusivity, and where opportunities and resources are distributed equitably. While the journey towards social equality may be fraught with challenges, it is a worthy pursuit that holds the promise of a more harmonious and prosperous society.
