Document Summary
Social justice: is a goal and a process. Goal: equal participation of all groups to meet their needs. All members are psychologically safe and secure. Prejudice and bias we learn from our experiences. We are all members of many social identity groups. Experiences vary on location, degree of comfort, and level of awareness. Conflict arises in interactions between people of different groups. Systematically socialized into dynamics of dominant subordination. Agent groups: unearned privileges to members of some groups. Target groups: oppressing members of other groups. Border groups: experiences both privileges and targets. Privilege: unearned, often unconscious, and unquestioned advantages. Only some social groups are target groups. Not all people have some prejudices and biases toward other groups. Enforce their attitudes through systems of power. We are all members of different social identity groups race, gender, ethnicity, class, age ability, sexual orientation, religion, etc. Forms of oppression are similar or different able to compare and contrast them.
