Closing the Inequalities Gap to Achieve Social Justice
February 24, 2020
Every year on February 20th, the United Nations mark a “Social Justice Day” and announce a specific topic. For the current year, it is “Closing the Inequalities Gap to Achieve Social Justice” which merges well with the 10th Sustainable Development Goal, “Reducing Inequalities within and among countries,” emphasizing differences in opportunity, income and power. See what MU faculty members think about these goals.
Ivo Ponocny:
We cannot simply choose some needs to the detriment of others, nor should a state do so. We cannot sell one aspect of life for the other, and economic growth cannot compensate for the destruction of the environment. The social agenda is necessarily a tough one. We need to care. And accept all these challenges.
