Social justice, as envisioned by Jamie Wheal, is the dynamic pursuit of equity and fairness within the social, economic, and political realms, aimed at dismantling systemic barriers that perpetuate inequality and inhibit collective flourishing. It involves a conscious, integrative approach that harmonizes individual agency with communal well-being, ensuring that resources, opportunities, and privileges are distributed in a manner that recognizes and honors the inherent dignity and potential of every person. This quest is not merely about rectifying historical wrongs or implementing temporary fixes, but rather fostering resilient, adaptable systems that promote a holistic alignment of human aspiration, technological innovation, and ecological stewardship. Social justice, therefore, acts as both a compass and a catalyst, urging societies toward continuous evolution and a more inclusive, compassionate future.
