In this module, we have learned about social justice and human rights issues, and we specifically focused on the issues of immigration and racism. These are difficult subjects and they may seem overwhelming, but there are many people and organizations working to address these issues.
Essay Description:
For your final project, you will write an essay in which you do the following:
1) You will identify and provide information about one social justice issue that we discussed in Weeks 1-3. Although we discussed immigration and racism the most, we also covered some topics such as poverty, gender rights, child labor, etc. You are free to choose any topic we discussed. You need to incorporate some of the course materials as you describe and explain the social justice issue. You will also explain why that issue is important to you.
2) You will identify one organization that specifically addresses the social justice issue you chose. You will explain the mission or focus of the organization, what they do , where they do it, and the success they’ve had in addressing this social justice issue.
3) You will explain how ordinary people can get involved with this organization such as the opportunities available for people to work for or volunteer with the organization. Additionally, you should explain how you personally might get involved in addressing this issue in the near or far future.
