Document Summary

Social justice september 5 basic definition of the course: Dialectical reasoning: two readings, position and opposition, reasoning grows with the dialogue, reasoning grows with dialogue. Descriptive dimension: describing something, but becomes very subjective and bias (used in science) Normative dimension: normal, standard, criteria, describing how things should/ought to be but may become subjective as to ones own opinion (social science) Social justice tries to describe how society functions (political, economical, race, cultural) and tries to define how it is suppose to be. It"s hard to say what is normative because history says things change all the time, always with exclusion, oppression, elimination. The media always gives us the same stories, culture is a big part of social justice (education, media, language) Social justice is not one thing, no clear method of study, newer discipline includes: psych, economics, sociology, social justice and politics. Our economics comes from 18th century scotland.
