Different people often interpret different areas and concepts of society in different ways. Officially, when it comes to social justice, the term relates to the concept of fair and just practices between society and individuals. In most cases, this is measured by personal identity, lifestyle, social privilege, personal activity and distribution of wealth.
Current movements in this area now emphasize an importance on breaking different barriers, especially with regards to racial and economic inequality, social mobility and LGBTQ+ rights with regards to corporations and institutions which benefit individuals. Whereas, there are now conferences, programs and workshops related to the area being offered at a number of colleges and universities on an annual or semi-annual basis, of which most are open to the public such as the one held at Humboldt State University in Arcata, California.
Most often, these institutions are made up of social taxation and insurance, public health centers, schools, services and affordable housing. Whereas, distribution of wealth through community and government benefits and regulation of markets are also important in this regard. Whereas, most all of these institutions and organizations focus on individual equality and responsibility, especially by those in power such as governors, senators, mayors and city council members.
The term is often one used during historical and philosophical debates and discussions. In most cases, this type of justice focuses on differences in relation to individuals whom are physically and developmentally disabled, gender identity modification, the environment, racial equality, immigration reform and economic status. More recently, non-binary and transgender rights and overall equality of the larger LGBTQ+ community have become part and parcel to the movement.
While the system can be traced back to Thomas Paine's philosophical beliefs and Augustine of Hippo, the term did not become used explicitly until the late 1700s. After which, the term and concept were used repeatedly during the revolutionary period surrounding 1848, then found popularity once again in the early 20th century during the civil rights and women's actions, marches and movements.
More recent research has shown that the use of the expression actually dates back as far back as No 7 of The Federalist Papers, in which the term appears to have been first mentioned in print. After which, the term saw more use by American legal scholars during the late industrial revolution. Then, later the phrase became a common occurrence in worldwide institutions and in the practice of local, national and international law.
In the latter part of the industrial revolution, progressive American scholars began using the term more frequently. After which, it was also used in establishing the International Labor Organization. Once the labor organization was established, the term began to spread more rapidly around the world, with different countries providing different concepts and meanings.
Newer research has confirmed that while previously a Jesuit priest had been recognized for coining the term, it is actually much older. For, while there is no certainty, it appears to date back to the days of the first Buddha and the concept of Enlightenment. While this makes sense, there is no way to know for sure when the term was coined though most believe it was well before 1748.
