Social Science


Languages:
Language has more scope than any other subject to teach social justice. Activities
like quiz, essay writing, story writing, story analysis, poem analysis, analysis of proverbs,
panel discussions, enacting plays etc can be successfully used to develop social justice.
Not all topics under each subject, lend themselves to teach social justice. It is also
true that social justice cannot be taught in a manner that is not natural. Such attempts will
not take us to reach the goal. A realistic, creative planning, with committed attempts of the
teacher along with supportive ambience of the school will prove successful to achieve the
goals of social justice.
Check Your Progress -2:
Take a topic of your choice and plan a lesson to achieve the goal of developing the
attitude of social justice among students.
2.6.4. Let Us Summarise

Social justice includes a vision of society in which the distribution of resources
is equitable and all members are physically and psychologically safe and secure.

In the school situation social justice should be viewed at two levels: one at the
school level, where in social justice is maintained by the teachers and students
together and the value of social justice is thus practiced. Second, to develop the
thinking and behaviour of students in such a way that they are able to maintain
social justice culture in the society in which they live.

Social justice advocates hope to build a society in which individuals have equal
access to resources and receive equitable treatment regardless of their race,
gender, religion, sexuality, income level or disability.

Social justice can be developed through school practices in general and while
teaching different school subjects, following different strategies. These strategies
and activities are to be planned identifying appropriate plug points in each
subject.
