**What is social justice?** "Social justice is a concept of fair and just relations between the individual and society. This is measured by the explicit and tacit terms for the distribution of wealth, opportunities for personal activity and social privileges. //Social justice// is really the capacity to organize with others to accomplish ends that benefit the whole community."
