Issues of Social Justice

Paper Summary:

This paper attempts to examine the issues of social justice, as justice is one of the foundational ties of a society, driving legal systems and human interactions. One of the issues covered in this paper, is that of the media and contemporary images.

From the Paper:

"Contemporary images have immediate and lasting power. They construct body images, national identities, class associations, sexuality and political understandings. The power of media to formulate entire worldviews is increasingly apparent. What is not so apparent is what we, the powerless victims of media, are to do with such representations. It seems we have only three options: wholeheartedly embrace the "truth" of these constructions, counter with opposing or alternative images or critically engage contemporary media. Although there may be those of us who imagine that "ignorance is bliss," the total creative power of media is radically increasing, leaving us with no alternative but critical force. "
