Chapter 8: Truths of Social Justice
Fredrick Hyatt, Nobel Laurette said – “I have come to feel
that the greatest service that I could give to my fellow
man is if I could make those among them who speak of
this, to be thoroughly ashamed to ever use the term
‘Social Justice’ again.”
– What is “Social Justice”?
“Social Justice” 68-74 , at its core, is the redistribution of
resources and advantages to the disadvantaged or the
oppressed in order to achieve social and economic
equality. As we shall discuss, “Social Justice” is
interwoven with the ideas of intersectionality 74 ,
76
75
postmodernism , and multiculturalism .
Much has been written and said about the efforts of
“Social Justice” advocates for bringing redress to
disadvantaged or oppressed groups. In contrast,
relatively little is written or discussed about the harmful
byproducts that “Social Justice” zealots are inflicting on
individuals or groups who are labeled as “privileged”, or
worse as “oppressors”. The consequences of these
byproducts can be so severe that special terms have
crept into social consciousness. These are “cancel
culture” and “wokeness”.
