Introduction
Hello! My name is Tomisha and I am a Senior this year majoring in BIS (Bachelors of Interdisciplinary Studies). The reason I've decided to go along with this particular blog handle is because it is very easy to remember. However, the reason why I have chosen this course is becasue justice, in general, has always been an area in which I have had interest in. Also, justice is one of my concentrations for my major, along with family studies. Though, what I hope to gain from this course is more knowledge on justice, the history behind women and justice, and women in the work force. However, what is meant by the idea of women, work, and justice, in my opinion, is the rights and struggle women have been through in the past to achieve justice in society and in the work force. Some issues that draws me towards justice is incarceration and inequality. An issue that I find important to me is poverty. Poverty is very important because it is popular in many countries in which women, men, and children suffer and experience. Working women and men, work long hours of labor and still reside in poverty. Another issue that I find important to me is the justice system in courts. I do not believe that there is equality in some that are tried. Therefore, I view justice as confusing, becasue there are some people who follows the norms of justice and there are some that are unjust. To have justice is to have equality, and that is something that women did not experience in the work force in the past and sometimes still today. These issues however, are related to women, work, and justice because there are poor working women that is still in poverty as well as there are some women that have not been fairly trialed.

Hi Tomisha!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the class! The alleviation of poverty and social justice are two very important issues to me as well. It is important that people like us continue to advocate for others through education and awareness. Hopefully, we can end some of the confusion along the way. I look forward to reading your blog post and good luck this semester.
Thank you,
