Social injustice
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Social Injustice is a concept relating to the perceived unfairness or injustice of a society in its divisions of rewards and burdens. The concept is distinct from those of justice in law, which may or may not be considered moral in practice. Opposition to social injustice is increasingly a platform of emerging political parties. Social Injustice arises when equals are treated unequally and unequals are treated equally.( Aristotle's principle of injustice)
Historically, Authors have used literature to denounce social injustice in their societies. Some examples are Victor Hugo, Jane Austen, Oscar Wilde, Harriet Beecher Stowe, James A. Michener, Upton Sinclair,Charles Dickens and Minfong Ho.
