Social injustice

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

Social injustice is a concept relating to the claimed unfairness or injustice of a society in its divisions of rewards and burdens and other incidental inequalities. The concept is distinct from those of justice in law, which may or may not be considered moral in practice, or from the concept of justice within a coherent ideological system, which focuses on just process rather than on incidental inequalities. Opposition to social injustice is increasingly a platform of emerging political parties. Social injustice arises when the distribution of advantages and disadvantages in society aren't equal.[vague]

Social injustice is caused by certain barriers that prevent full social justice. Major barriers include prejudice, discrimination, oppression, racism, casteism, classism, ableism, ageism, stereotyping and sexism.
