Ghandi
Social Justice is the distribution of advantages and disadvantages within a society. In Ghandhi, the most impressive scene to me in terms of social justice was when Ghandi led a march to the sea to make salt. Sometimes, social justice is doing the wrong thing to get your point across, and in the end to get what is right. Ghandi knew that making salt was against the British law, yet he did it anyway. He was so strong, mentally, and passionate about making this salt. People saw Ghandi as a strong and passionate man, he wasn’t selfish, and he wanted things for the people.

Having these people behind him was a disadvantage to the British government.

I have been told that sometimes words speak louder than actions. When war is involved, people can get hurt – sometimes the wrong people and sometimes the wars are for the wrong reasons. For example, the United States is in a war with Iraq. Are we fighting to change or to punish? I believe both, but I believe we are trying to punish more than change. We are fighting the war in Iraq, to change the government there and make it a better palace for the people who were not involved in the destroying. We are punishing by killing people who were a part of Osama bin Laden’s terror. Is that the best way to handle them? I don’t think so. Yes, there are good and points by being in a war with Iraq.
