What is social justice to you? To me social justice is making sure everyone has equal rights and opportunities. It's about fairness and how people are treated. Growing up in Philadelphia, I see the importance of social justice all around me. From our diverse neighborhoods to the history of struggles and progress, social justice is a big deal.
One issue I think about a lot is education. In some parts of our city, schools have better resources, while other schools struggle with raggedy books and worn out schools. This isn't fair, everyone deserves the same chances. Social justice in education means closing the gap so everyone gets the same chances in education No matter how poor their family is or what their family status is.
Another thing is job opportunities. Sometimes people from poorer neighborhoods don’t get the same job opportunities as people from different neighborhoods. We need to work on giving everyone the same job opportunities. That was another way social justice is present in our city.
Our city Philadelphia is full of social injustice. A third example is how people are mistreated by the color of their skin. Some store owners follow around darker skin colored people because of stereotypes. Racism is such a big part of social injustice. We need to stop all of these examples. That is the third reason for social injustice.
I wish all of these problems could go away. The only way we could do this is by getting rid of all of these making sure everyone is equal.

I think the ideas are good but I feel the analysis could be more in-depth. For example, for job opportunities, you can explain why job opportunities aren’t equal.

I think it’s a very short essay. You have good ideas, but I think if it were longer, it would be more complete.
