Justice is the quality of being just; righteousness, equitableness, or moral rightness. Social Justice is important because it promotes and strives toward a society that celebrates diversity and equality.
We live in a world where some individuals believe and follow by justice and equality and others who get more than they deserve, and a lot more than they need, and others get less. If the ruling powers are unjust to certain groups or individuals, at some point chaos will get out of hand and history will be repeating itself. Having more equality and diversity in a society is good for society because it promotes opportunity, growth and social wellbeing. Societies that accept diversity have more change, more peace and more prosperity.
My project will be on image vs stereotype.
I plan to have different kind of shirt pieces connected into one. Many people tend to worship one image and that is the individual who looks more presentable. The purpose it is to show that no matter anyone's image we are still one and or equal.
Collar Shirt: Successful
Rip/Dirty Shirt: Homeless or Uneducated
Anime Shirt: Geek/Nerd
The Quilt |
AIDS Memorial Quilt was made in June 1987 at the stature of the AIDS emergency in the United States. The progressing venture memorializes the individuals who have kicked the bucket from HIV and AIDS through sewed boards, adorned with their names and representative symbolism speaking to the individual memorialized. Presently, the stitch is comprised of more than 48,000 boards, with more included each year as more AIDS setbacks are submitted to The NAMES Project Foundation.
