If you see injustice happening what do you do? Do you step in or do you let it go? I think it depends on the situation‚ if it is someone that can’t fend for themselves then yes I believe you should step in‚ if someone is harming another to better

Social Injustices occur everyday‚ especially in a hustle and bustle city like New York. It is sickening how many people are null to it and just decide to do nothing or walk away.

Oscar Wilde’s asserts that “the reason we’ve made progress was and is for the simple fact that the people have rebelled‚”; the United States of America is a prime example of progressing through rebellion and disobedience. If it weren’t for rebellion or disobedience

Even though racism is and has always been an issue‚ we don’t often think about all the ways it can affect people of color. One example of this is environmental justice and racism‚ this is where corporations dump environmentally hazardous or degraded elements‚ such as toxic waste‚ pollution and urban decay near low-income or minority communities (Environmental Racism 2012‚ 1). It’s another unjust way African Americans have been and still continue to be treated. Many families have grown up in danger
