Probably, but not the way the Social Justice Warriors are trying to make it happen
2. Freedom. Restrictions are the opposite of social justice, no matter who they're targeting. (SJWs your precious social justice can't be achieved by oppressing all the cis white males)

To an extent, but I doubt that there will ever be an enduring form of social justice unless we do far more than what we are doing now.
2. Both, and to differing extents (e.g. freedom to be who you want to be, restrictions upon those who would hurt others for being themselves, etc.)

2. freedom is needed so that we can experience opportunities and trust in each other so that social justice is achievable, otherwise individuals would be corrupted by negative experiences. Restrictions are needed to make sure nothing gets out of hand and there are no ways to stop it.

3. the government play a determining role in social justice as they have to power to  put initiatives and guidelines in place which many individuals may not have the power to]]> 2016-11-06 22:16:04 UTC https://padlet.com/MsMansell/zxkjkmyh13ab/wish/135641883 Elizabeth https://padlet.com/MsMansell/zxkjkmyh13ab/wish/135641917 1. Social justice can be achievable to some degree but it would be difficult to make it stick throughout.
2. We need both freedom and restrictions to achieve social justice. We need freedom to be able to be individual yet we would need restrictions to stop us from harming others or from doing things that can harm our surroundings.
3. The role that the government has in achieving social justice can be either negative or positive due to their amount of power that they have on individuals.]]> 2016-11-06 22:16:33 UTC https://padlet.com/MsMansell/zxkjkmyh13ab/wish/135641917 Teagan https://padlet.com/MsMansell/zxkjkmyh13ab/wish/135642230 1- social justice can be achievable in some way.

Social contract theory:  Rousseau believes that society should be divided into two parts. First, there must be a side consisting of the whole population, that represents the public and is the legislative power within the state. The second division is that of the government, This division is necessary because the public cannot deal with particular matters like applications of the law. ]]> 2016-11-06 22:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/MsMansell/zxkjkmyh13ab/wish/135644699 Thomas Hobbes (Evan and Brendan) https://padlet.com/MsMansell/zxkjkmyh13ab/wish/135644708 Born: 5 April 1588 in Westport, Wiltshire, England
