The term 'social justice' implies fairness and mutual obligation in society: that we are responsible for one another, and that we should ensure that all have equal chances to succeed in life.
The Caritas focus during this week is on Catholic social teaching, which provides us with key ethical principles through which we can interpret social issues around us and take action to seek justice. Seven of the principles are: human dignity; solidarity; subsidiarity; stewardship; common good; participation; and preferential option for the poor. See http://caritas.org.nz/resources/cst for videos to explain and give examples of each of these.
We were really motivated by the following images. They made us think about what we would take a stand about.
Check out our images and please leave us your reactions.
These images also really shocked us and made us consider the hurtful names we might use for others.

ReplyDeleteThis was a very good way to remind us students that we need to be more kind and considerate of others. I like how we all got to think about something that WE get bullied for or others.
