Chapter two social justice and the social construction of inequality and difference in the book socialjustice issues in local and global contexts


Author: Charles Queist-Adade
Chapter 2 social reality construction and global justice in the social justice issues in local and global contexts book talks about social constructionism that there is nothing natural in the world and how social reality is made or created by people, and how people from the same society seem to understand and read things different than others just like for example reading a text message, some people will take this message as a joke and laugh at it and some others might take is serious and get mad. It also talked about critical constructionism which is the way social reality is constructed. also about how media takes place in society in which it makes people believe in certain things that they may have not happened, and how different people commit the same type of crime but because some have more power and control than the others have they don’t consider what they do as a crime which means there is no social justice. The last thing it talked about is is the global social justice that we should have not only health and income but also freedom and equality.
