D. Miller's lecture about social justice was very intresting. I have very little experience when dealing with social justice. After reading Ursala Le Guin's peice i now have something to compare it to. Clearly they both send different messages on what social justice really means. Both of there messages happen in life and isnt strange when it does.
If you look at Ursala Le Guin's work it gives off a certain feel for social justice. The basics behind it stat that sometimes you have to let people to suffer or leave them out so other aspects become better. In the story the little boy who was strange so there town would remain perfect and happy. An example from the real world is dress codes at resturants. If you dont look good or fit the picture they will not let you in. this is because the resturant wants to obtain a high reputation of class.
D. Miller's lecture tries to back up that people should make sacrifices to better the social world. He stats that society is made of independent parts and they all need to come together. Some poeple will always struggle and some people will be perfect. We cant help this because thats how our social system works. If everyone works together then we can make the world a better place.
Both of these peices where created to give insight on social justice. I believe that there is a wrong way to look at social justice. Both of the theories happen in real life. They might not happen infront of use like on a grand scale but behind the scenes in peoples houses for example.
