Defining Justice in a Multicultural, Global World…

Chapter six discusses globalism, multiculturalism, and the challenges associated with defining social justice in a global world. Over the past several weeks we have discovered that justice is not an easy concept to define. Capeheart and Milovanovic claim that no one definition of justice is sufficient for all points in history. These authors argue that the definition of justice changes with the passing of time. Our current multicultural, global world is no exception. The world today is much different than it was 50 or 100 years ago. Modern technology makes it possible to be closer to people on the other side of the world than we ever have been before and people of all different cultures must now share one common home: the Earth. With this, however, comes the need to revise the definition of justice so that it fits our evolving society. This blog explores the theory of justice that applies to our world today and the issues that it faces in the multicultural, global society of the 21^st century.
