To complete your Initial Post:
1. The prompt in Discussion 1 stated:
What does social justice mean? What is a working definition of it? A Pacific Oaks T-Shirt from way back had a slogan that said, “Social Justice is not merely a concept.” While we want to define and understand the concept in and of itself, also think in terms of what a working definition means in addition to understanding the concept.
a. For this assignment, write to update your working definition of social justice that you wrote in Week 1 now that you have completed the course assignments through Week 6. To get started on this prompt, go back to Discussion 1 and re-read the definition you posted at that time, when we were just starting class. Next, go back through your posts and papers and review what you have written about social justice. Pick up on key phrases and talking points you used to describe and explain social justice. To update your definition, put these things together along with thoughts and ideas about social justice that have evolved throughout our study. Write a minimum of 10 sentences.
b. Explain how your new definition evolved and share examples. Write a minimum of 10 sentences.
Include at least one direct quotation and/or specifically referenced paraphrasing for each item a and b. See the handout in the Library section for in-text and References page citation of our class materials. Use only our class materials for quotes and paraphrasing.
