The concept relating to the claimed unfairness or injustice of a society in its divisions of rewards and burdens and other incidental inequalities. The concept is distinct from those justice in law, which may or may not be considered moral in practice or from other concept of justice within a coherent ideological system, which focuses on just process rather than on incidental inequalities. 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.
Social injustice is caused by certain barriers that prevent full social justice. Some of the major barriers include; prejudice, discrimination, oppression, racism, classism, ableism, ageism, stereotypying and sexism. Long time ago, most social injustice in the world has been based on economic class and the lack of access to non-violent mechanisms for reform by the working class hero. In order to fully overcome incidental inequalities which some view as socially unjust these barriers must be removed from our society and differences to rig equality of outcome must be embraced based on our own belief.
