Social Justice- Catholic themes part1

Social Justice is our responsibility to make sure all people are given a fair go.

Some issues that social justice covers are: 

Poverty,

Child Labour,

Refugees,

Homelessness and

Hunger.

Human Dignity (pride and self respect) is the foundation of Catholic Social Teaching.  

It means that a person has rights to education, health services or to make choices for themselves and be free. Also, it is to respect yourself and others because you were made in the image of God.

Humans are sacred and social, we live and achieve together, all humans must be valued in the wider community.

Society (eg. Governments) must consider and help the poor in society.

A community I am part of is the Stella Community.

It is sacred and social because we gain education, friendship and belonging.

A moral Society is democratic, attention to poor or special needs and distribution of wealth.

Our community looks after the poor by the dole and public housing.
