Social Justice all Around the World


When I think of social justice I think of something that everyone needs to work together on. I think that social justice is a global solution to the global problem of injustice. But when you glance around at the world you would see a place in terrible shape. Wars, economic inequality, brutality, and climate change. National Geographic had a story and a map that showed what the world will look like if climate change continues unchecked. Huge portions of land underwater. Also in Mexico City, the coldest day of the year could be over 100* F by 2033. This kind of rapid temperature increase could kill many species of animals as well as be dangerous to many humans. War is so bad that people complain only when chemicals weapons are used. Anything else is seen as bad, but it's "just" war.

I decide to look a little deeper and I saw a lot that inspires me. Groups like The Nature Conservatory, The World Wildlife Fund, and the Sierra Club all work hard to protect the environment. People like Malala Yousafzai and the anti-war protesters in Syria risk their lives to try and make the world a better place. I think that if everyone just does a little bit more then together we can bring social justice.
