Students will define justice by classifying experiences of justice and injustice according to broader terminology, for example, racism, sexism, and violation of the right to life.
They will identify examples of injustice in the local and broader communities. Catholic Social Teaching will be applied to an issue of injustice in order to suggest ways that communities can put Christian teaching into practice. Stories of resistance to oppression will be analysed to describe ways in which people living with injustice struggle with it.
The work of Catholic organisations that work for justice will provide a stimulus for discussing how individuals and communities acn implement Christ's teaching of justice and compassion.
Eureka Street is an online magazine published by Jesuit Communications. It deals with matters of social justice.
