Social Injustice/Justice Website or blog
Choose one
of the forms of social justice we have discussed in class. Create a website
dealing with the form you’ve chosen. You do not have to use blogger.com, although it is a simple system that is quite easy to learn. Include the following things in blog posts or other formats within your
website:
A: Definition:
Define clearly the type of social injustice/ justice you will be discussing
throughout the webpage. Give 3 general
examples/hypothetical situations explaining how an individual’s rights could be
violated though this type of social injustice.
B. Links to two news article dealing with they type of
social injustice you are reporting on.
When you post your link, you should also have an introduction stating
the main topic/issue of the article, the points of view involved, and how it is
related to social injustice. BBC
news is a fine source for finding news articles on the various forms of social
injustice; you can’t search for your topic, but you should be able to review
headlines and find some related articles. READ the articles for
understanding. Don’t just read the
headline and assume you understand the issue. This takes a little research on your part.
C. Social
Justice Amendment: Consider the ways that your form of social injustice is
misused. Write a formally worded
Constitutional Amendment designed to limit social abuse. Your Amendment must be well thought out
and considerate, not limiting the regular rights of any group, but preventing
social abuses.
D.
Reflection on our community: Think about Abu Dhabi. Have you seen this form of social justice be violated? What
can you do to prevent your form of social injustice within our community? This
should be a full, thoughtful reflection.
Grading:
Each section is worth equal marks.
I’m looking for thoughtfulness within reflection and writing. Spend time on these sections; these are
serious topics that touch each of us in different ways and you need to give
each section time. Writing should
be fluid and use appropriate vocabulary.
Streamline your ideas by cutting out boring, repetitive details and using
action verbs.
Due Date:
Your blog/website address should be emailed to Mrs. Rasmussen no later than
Sunday, March 18.
