Week 5 Discussion
Explain social justice in your own words.
The idea of social justice holds that everyone should have an equal opportunity to enjoy
economic, political, and social rights.
Explain how this picture represents social justice.
This photo represents social justice because diverse ethnic groups came together for a common
purpose. This gathering is called a unity walk. This gathering represents that everyone, no
matter their race, should have equal rights.
Explain economic justice in your own words.

The notion of economic justice holds that a more just economy will prosper.
Explain how this picture represents economic justice.
This photo was taken from the Shreveport, LA Community Development website. Shelter grants
are in place to help those who have been temporarily displaced from their homes. For example,
if a family has no home to go to, this grant is in place to help the family get back on their feet.
The more people that have places to live along with jobs become more stable. The more
stability, the more the community will thrive.
Explain environmental justice in your own words.
Environmental justice is the equitable treatment and meaningful participation of all people in
the creation, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies, regardless of their race, color, country origin, or level of income.
Explain how this picture represents environmental justice.

There was not much to see as it relates to environmental justice in Shreveport. However, this
picture was taken back in 2019 at the Shreveport Climate Justice Rally. This represents
environmental justice because it shows that our children care about the environment and the
air that they breathe. It is saying that the factories and companies that are polluting the air
should be stopped because they are causing health problems among our youth and their
families.

WEEK 5: AT A GLANCE
SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, AND ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE AND POLICY
INTRODUCTION
What does it mean to be just? If all contribute to the functioning of society, is it fair that some have more than others? This often comes down to the debate: What is the responsibility of society? versus What is the responsibility of the individual?
As shown in Week 2, the social work profession began from a need to address the effect of social injustices that plagued society. Expanding on that mission, the broader pursuit of social justice examines the systems that a society creates to evaluate who has access to which resources. Advocating for social justice is essential to macro social work practice—that is, working to change the systems that challenge clients.
This week, you examine social justice and the specific related areas of economic and environmental justice.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Students will:
Analyze social justice, economic justice, and environmental justice in a community
Analyze the influence of policy on social justice
Analyze role of policy in addressing social injustices
REPRESENTING JUSTICE
As you have been looking around your community for examples of social, economic, and environmental (in)justice, what did you notice? Did you expect to find what you did? What emotional responses did you experience when viewing the various types of disparities that clients experience?
Perhaps you have found a way to call attention to injustices you see every day but are not sure how to solve. Or, maybe you have seen an injustice for the first time.
For this Discussion, you use photos that you have curated of your community to demonstrate social justice, economic justice, and environmental justice. You will then explain why these photos represent the given concept.
TO PREPARE
Take 3 pictures of your community, 1 that represents each of the following:
social justice
economic justice
environmental justice
Be sure to respect the privacy of individuals who may be present when taking photos. If it is unavoidable that a person may be visible enough in your photo to be identifiable, ask that person for permission before taking the photo.
Post a response to the following:
Paste 1 photo in the Discussion thread for each type of (in)justice: social, economic, or environmental. (You must include 1 photo for each type.)
