Abstract

Social justice is a moral position, a philosophical stance, and a social/political movement with multiple dimensions based on the core values that support the highest quality in human life conditions and experiences for all people; where people live together in harmony, with opportunities for full participation in the society; where all contributions are encouraged and appreciated, with freedom from oppression and systematic subordination of members of one group to another; and with access to the collective benefits and resources of the society that enrich and make life meaningful for everyone.
