“…There is no consensus about the definition of social justice, partly because different fields of study interpret the term from varying conceptual and theoretical frameworks and because the term is vague and difficult to operationalize (Gewirtz, 2002). Scholars are in agreement that social justice refers to a society which values diversity by providing all people and groups with respect, dignity, fairness, basic rights, and opportunities (Maschi, Baer, & Turner, 2011;North, 2006;Rawls, 1971Rawls, , 2001; thus, most definitions incorporate aspects of liberty and equality (Vera & Speight, 2003). The key difference in the definitions rests in whether scholars include internal or psychological resources (e.g., psychological health, critical thinking, and/or awareness) in the definition alongside the typical external sociopolitical resources (e.g., economic, legal, political rights; Maschi et al, 2011).…”
