- This video describes the differences between the concepts of equality, equity, and social justice. It is inspired by a cartoon that has been going around the internet but with some differences. I do not know the author of the cartoon but would like to give credit so if anyone knows their name, please let me know.
The best fictional example of our current society that I have ever seen. STOP DIVIDING !!!
Those who are richest are not the ones who have the most, but the ones who need the least. Happiness is not a function of material wealth, but of spiritual wealth.
DIvide and conquer, machiavelli was a genius.
Hi Dr. B - Well explained tho I have a concern, I couldn't find your email so i hope to connect here.. .
I noticed that in the opening line up of characters there was one individual using a wheelchair.
Unfortunately that character was never seen among the kids in or outside of the playground. again While that is probably true to real life,( being excluded) I wish you had added that kid into the story about how we can take down the fence & be more inclusive. I think you missed an important opportunity to show a larger picture of what access, equity & social justice can be. Could that kid get added/edited into the annimation? It would be most helpful to expand the visual & point of your video story... thanks
That is an excellent observation and I regret that I did not include the child with the wheelchair on one of the mounds. Unfortunately, I cannot go back and edit the video but I will be mindful of this for future videos. I apologize as I need to keep disability advocacy more on the forefront of my consciousness and I appreciate this lesson.
She couldn't include the disabled boy because he is white and if she placed a white male outside the fence, her theory that white people keep minorities down would be proven as ridiculous as it really is. Since racism appears to be her main goal in this, the white disabled boy would be in the fence and poor Sasha and Malia Obama, due to their skin color, would be outside the fence criticizing the disabled white boy for opressing them
@@dizanelli Actually, this can apply to other forms of oppression not just racism. For example, it can apply to ableism, sexism, etc. Disability is indeed an oppression that has structural components to it that need to be broken down. I never said "white people" are keeping minorities down. It is about the system itself. There is a quote that says you can have a racist system without racist actors and that is a true statement. Take public child welfare for example. Social workers of all people are probably some of the most anti-racist people around. And yet they work in a system that has had a history of racist policies and still struggles with some policies that are keeping minority children in care longer (etc.). It's about the system, hence the symbol of the fence.
All college professors should get same pay and tenure walk the talk !!!!!
It's all well and good by how is equity going to work in our Judicial System. Are we now going to give criminals and felons special treatment because of their Race and Demographics. It's easy to show boxes but how does it work in real life?
No, it's the opposite in that case. Laws need to be changed that disadvantage groups based on those demographics. Sentencing laws are the perfect example and now they are changing.
@@dr.bshistoryofswclass6276 Sorry we have to agree to disagree. We are right back to discrimination to the people who do not benefit!
It's a troll, btw ?
you speak spanish,Teacher?
Marxism.
No :). I lived in the USSR so I know first hand how awful that system is.
Yes. Communism is the end game. Socialism (Progressivism) and or Marxism lead to communism. That is how the process normally goes. Call for socialism because taking care of everyone and treating them "Equally" is the "Right thing to do" Right? That is how the slippery slope is built that leads to Marxism/Maoism/Communism. American Socialism (Fundamental transformation) and or progressivism (Marxism) are the American precursors leading to communism. Mass murder and suffering are the fruits of socialism/Marxism/Maoism/communism. @@dr.bshistoryofswclass6276
Very well understood 💐💐
I'm a minority, what do i have less access too? Someone please tell me what I have less access to this is something I never realized. Maybe if I had more access I would be better off? My parents busted their ass, they didn't know the language yet were able to get to a point where they are well off enough. Poor colored people who don't know the language were able to succeed in this society when racism was much worse.
They made it so that I could have access to everything I needed to succeed myself. I don't think you are talking about race or ethnicity here but rather economic situation and attitude. Please do better in differentiating the two.
Many say Asians don't count because it doesn't fit the narrative. To me it always seems like they are talking about the Black community but won't actually say it at the risk of seeming racist. My argument to this is that African Immigrants who are by definition black fare much better than their American counterpart. What can explain this? I stand by attitude. Your attitude is the difference of succeeding and failing. The longer we coddle and make excuses for behavior deemed unacceptable the longer this will go on. People need to take responsibility for themselves and start forging their own path.
Now before people say some people actually need help. I'm not talking about the disabled, mentally disabled, or injured obviously as a first world country and a civilized society we need to take care of those that cannot fend for themselves. This % is so small it doesn't affect the overall numbers however to use it as an argument to make people be responsible for themselves is not correct.
Social Justice is something that we can all agree to however the extent and interpretation by most people is where disagreement happens. To me giving everyone the equal opportunity to enter that playground is what we should strive for. We shouldn't Take individuals and knock them down invalidating all the work they have done already to get into the playground. Give them the directions and knowledge and let them make their own way into the playground.
Thank you J Lee for your thoughtful comment. The model minority myth, as you probably know, is called a myth because it's not true. The history of immigration and access denied or allowed for various Asian ethnic groups is really interesting and explains why some Asian ethnic groups, on average, are better off than others (we know, for example, that various southeast Asian Americans do not have the same income or wealth as other Asian American groups). This has to do with who was allowed in the country, when, and for what reason. As far as what you wrote about some groups working had and gaining upward mobility, there are reasons for that as well. One of the often-cited claims is that Japanese and Chinese immigrants, and later their American-born descendants, were able to come together as communities through mutual aid societies to help each other with loans and other resources. This helped in terms of upward mobility of current and subsequent generations. But the problem with this from a systemic racism point of view is the fact that they had to do that because loans from banks (American institutions) were being denied them. Still, there were no attempts to stop this type of mutual aid-giving. When African Americans tried to do the same thing, those societies and even whole towns (e.g. Tulsa among others) were destroyed. Also, the reason that poor immigrants back in the day (e.g., Italians and Irish) were able to have upward mobility when freed African Americans could not is because of the racist policies that prevented them from getting jobs, loans, education, etc. The main feature of this system being the right to vote, which had conditions such that you had to own a certain amount of property, which of course they did not. As the daughter of immigrants who also came to this country with almost nothing and now have children with higher degrees, I value the ethic of hard work toward achievement and success. But I cannot deny that some groups did not have the privileges we had. Did I suffer from prejudice as a middle-eastern looking woman? Absolutely. But I also never had to worry about being taken away from child protective services as a latch-key kid in the 80s the way that my African American friends did. The fence I'm talking about is about access to opportunity but it's also about disadvantages like that. I encourage you to read more on the history of social policy in this country and learn more about what policies advantaged some groups while disadvantaging others, and what point in history that happened. Asian Americans have been vilified and glorified as a group at different points in history differently, as if there is just one ethnic group by the way, and that in and of itself is racist.
@@dr.bshistoryofswclass6276 I think you misunderstand everything i wrote. We don't live in the past anymore. We live in a society that is afraid to say the truth. The truth is people need to start taking responsibility for their actions.
Keep in mind if any business or bank were to deny someone strictly based on the color of their skin or ethnicity they would have lawsuits out the ass. Lets not forget that.
You keep citing history other items that no longer are prevalent in this argument. If your only basis on this is the past then i would highly recommend reconsidering what you deem the issue is and how it can be rectified.
I don't have the same compassion for people blaming everything on the past as you do because I've lived through prejudice and racism and made my own decision to get better and get out. Take the respect that i deserve based on my achievements and my own abilities. I've gona through the same broken education system and still came out on top. Lets not forget that the opportunity is there for those who are willing to take it.
@@jlee9360 I did not misunderstand. The reason to know the history is because it affects today. The historically accumulated wealth that was able to be passed down advantages White Americans (on average). The system that was built then still operates today (our laws aren't as color-blind as we think and they aren't enforced in a color-blind manner either). I do not take anything away from what you have earned through your hard work. I also worked hard to get to where I am today. However, there are systems that are actively or passively making it *harder* for some to achieve the same things despite hard work, and that is an equity issue.
@@dr.bshistoryofswclass6276 Ok so some people have an easier beginning than others does that mean we can't make it now because in the past we were poor? I remember being poor i grew up being poor. Yet here i am doing perfectly fine for myself. My parents didn't have anything the entire village put money together to send my dad to the US. Literally by himself he made money and eventually sent for my mom and myself. They turned nothing into a successful life for themselves.
Again the pasts is the past its already done start over get better stop using it as an excuse. If you failed to do something yesterday are you going to continue and move forward or are you going to say well i failed yesterday so i give up.
Beautiful logic -- I always wanted trophy 🏆 for winning marathon at 240 muscles ain’t gona happen should I sulk????🤣🤣🤣sarcasm of course but makes as much sense. As play ground crap 💩
Equality for all is freedom. Forced equity for all is tyranny.
What social justice theory is related to equality versus equity?
Sorry I didn't see this comment earlier. I would say David Gil's, the father of radical social work, focus on equity. I'm not sure if you are in the history/macro class, but chapter 2 of the text that these videos are based on goes over his ideas. In terms of what makes a just society, he believed that public goods should be distributed based on needs (he also advocated for a participatory democracy, so, no, it's not about socialism either--I feel like I have to say this in every comment now lol). Bill Jordan's ideas also focus on equity as well. As far as equality being the answer, I'd say that would be Ross Zucker.
