Social Justice

Social justice is a concept that come about in the early nineteenth century when the Industrial Revolution was still in effect.  As well as when other small civil revolutions were taking place in Europe.  This concept aimed to create more equal societies and to counteract the capitalistic exploitation of human labor.  Early social justice advocates focused primarily on capital, property, as well as the distribution of wealth.  Eventually, as social justice continued to expand, in the mid twentieth century social justice had begun to cover things such as: the environment, race, gender, and other places that had inequality.
