If you could create a new school club dedicated to social issues, what would it focus on and why?

 @9KZPLDB from Wisconsin  answered…2yrs2Y

It would focus on how to change the importance of unimportant topics and get people to stop worrying about the minor stupid *** **** and focus on our people's well being and forget the stupid *** **** .

 @9L2QLYB from California  agreed…2yrs2Y

Can you provide further arguments, perspective, or relevant statistics to strengthen the reasoning and persuasiveness of this answer?

 @9L2MJ68 from California  disagreed…2yrs2Y

I feel like people care about things that are unnecessary and they forgot about the things that are actually important.

 @9KZNXCL from Pennsylvania  answered…2yrs2Y

I would make it discussing problems as not good or bad but as the actual values because many times we are biased to look at something as good and bad without actually looking at the true meaning of each of the points.

 @9KZQ5ZS from New York  answered…2yrs2Y

I would create a club that focus on human rights making the world a better place with the understanding of another human and their rights.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Why do you think some groups in society are underrepresented in certain professions or roles?

 @9J7GBCNPeace and Freedom from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

I think some people are not being noticed because some people are discriminating against them and are making it impossible for people to get jobs.

 @9J7FXNV from Kansas  answered…2yrs2Y

Lack of wanting to and some jobs aren’t appealing to certain demographics of people

 @9J7G453 from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

maybe because people don't believe they are professional or even just because people ignore the topic even tho it may be important

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

When you've felt misunderstood or judged, what could have been done differently to foster inclusion?

 @9KSNW33 from New York  answered…2yrs2Y

People becoming more accepting to non gender conforming people.

  @jsimicConstitution from Texas  disagreed…2yrs2Y

Acceptance to insanity doesn't validate the insanity.

There are 2 genders/sexes and an infinite number of PERSONALITIES.

Telling society that you're a different kind of person is nothing new.

Telling society that you're a different kind of species is radical.

Telling society that you must use random and arbitrary pronouns or they are committing genocide is emotional blackmail.

The entire movement is an exercise in nihilistic narcissism of the emotionally unstable.

 @9KSNRNWConstitution from California  answered…2yrs2Y

There's nothing I or anybody can do. You'll always be exluceded in some regard.

 @9KSNBLDIndependent from Pennsylvania  answered…2yrs2Y

People could have had better education where they learned about socialism justice.

  @jsimicConstitution from Texas  disagreed…2yrs2Y

“socialism justice.”

Justice is justice.

Racial justice is racist.

Social justice is preferential treatment towards preferred groups.

Climate justice is ecoterrorism.

Justice needs no adjectives.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How do you reconcile the need for both competition and cooperation in a society striving for fairness?

 @9KG2BBPRepublican from New Mexico  answered…2yrs2Y

Social Justice should not influence policy in any way shape or form.

 @9KG62KP from Arizona  disagreed…2yrs2Y

When you are a part of a community, it is your responsibility to serve it. You are not serving your community by ignoring or undercutting anyone within the community. Some members will have fewer opportunities due to disability and ethnic background etc., and these individuals deserve to be lifted up and supported by their community as much as anyone else. This is everyone's responsibility, as being a part of a community has perks that must be enjoyed by all within it.

 @9KG2GDQ from New Mexico  answered…2yrs2Y

I think that our society should be a fair and equal one.

 @9KG2H35 from Utah  answered…2yrs2Y

I think a little friendly competition is good for society but It should be a reason to divide use, we are all Americans afterall

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What does 'having equal opportunities' mean to you, and do you believe that everyone in your community currently has them?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How does the media influence our views on justice and equality?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How does celebrating diverse holidays at school or in your community promote understanding and social justice?

 @9LCQBPD from California  answered…2yrs2Y

It creates exposure for different cultures and understanding.

 @9L7FW5V from Georgia  commented…2yrs2Y

Allows people to get to learn more about others and create a deeper understanding

 @9LCQCS5 from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

It inspires people to accept people with different ideologies.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What experience opened your eyes to the realities of privilege or lack thereof?

 @9HXPSML from Oregon  answered…2yrs2Y

I think that social justice is one of the best ways to resolve problems.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Can there be true equality when people start from different places in life due to their backgrounds?

 @9HF3DLF from Idaho  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes. I grew up in a home without heating or air conditioning. We often didn't have running water. Our house was falling apart. So I started in what you could call 'a different place.' But now I am more wealthy than I could have imagined at this point of my life. God has blessed me financially as I've worked hard through multiple jobs. Once I worked 12 hour shifts every day. But through smart choices, taking charge of my education, and working hard, I no longer have to work.
Regardless of race or gender, there is an equality of opportunity in the USA. If you want to make something of yourself, you can.

 @9HF3DXK from California  answered…2yrs2Y

If they all have the same goal in mind then absolutely. It’s just a matter of how and how much determination is willing to go into the goal.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How do conversations with people from different backgrounds enrich your understanding of fairness?

 @9HXQ4PX from Oregon  answered…2yrs2Y

It enriches my understanding of fairness by showing me how different backgrounds live their lives.

 @9HXP7L7answered…2yrs2Y

It shows what should be provided for those coming into the country and how different backgrounds can affect different peoples lives

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Why might two people have vastly different perspectives on the same social issue?

 @9HXMTSY from Idaho  answered…2yrs2Y

depends on family influence, environmental influence as well as friends influence.

 @9HXMNMPConstitution from Tennessee  answered…2yrs2Y

Different experiences with people or just come from different backgrounds

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If you had the power to change one thing to make our society more just, what would it be and why?

 @9HD73SF from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

Hold every American citizen and institution to the same standard of the law, and fines should be relative to net worth, not fixed.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Imagine a day in a world without discrimination; what would be the most significant difference you'd notice?

 @9HY3RGK from Michigan  answered…2yrs2Y

Less judgement and more opportunities for many people

 @9HY3MFR from Ohio  answered…2yrs2Y

The significant difference I would notice is everyone would seem much happier than they are now and nobody would look at you differently.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Have you ever gone out of your way to understand the struggles of a group you're not part of?

 @9KG2QBF from California  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes groups like asian protection, Freeing palestine , and things involving peoples human rights.

 @9KG2KQX from California  answered…2yrs2Y

No becuase what my ancestors did is not my fault i should have to apologize to back people if there great grandpa was a slave

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What's a simple act of kindness you've witnessed that promoted fairness, and how did it make you feel?

 @9KWLQX9 from New York  answered…2yrs2Y

when two person did wrong both of them get consqunce not only one person

 @9KWLJ3J from Michigan  answered…2yrs2Y

I have seen two different races of women teaching each other how to take care of their bi-racial children. It was beautiful to see them understand each other even though they were on "opposite sides of the spectrum".

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What's the most important lesson you've learned about respect from someone with a different life experience?

 @9KWL8T6 from New Jersey  answered…2yrs2Y

Just because they don´t look like it doesn´t mean they havent been there.

 @9KWL7N7Democrat from Vermont  answered…2yrs2Y

Cultures are different. Just because you aren’t used to something doesn’t mean it’s bad or offensive.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would you comfort a friend who's facing an injustice and feels powerless to change it?

 @9KNNLZP from Arizona  answered…2yrs2Y

I would tell them that the path of honesty and faith will help lead them in the right direction. Fight for your rights of justice and don't give up. Let the people of yesterday form a foundation for you to build off of so you can be person to build tomorrow.

 @9KNNHK5 from California  answered…2yrs2Y

I would comfort them and tell them it will be alright

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Can sharing personal experiences with others lead to greater community understanding?

Yes it can, but it can also lead to people bullying you and or more.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What change would bring the most happiness to the largest number of people in your view?

Everyone who is a us citizen should have the same rights, priveleges, etc. etc. so they can choose what they want to do with their lives free from hardship brought by stigma and human stupidity. Everyone should be treated the same no matter who they are.

 @9JD5NJQ from New York  answered…2yrs2Y

I don’t care who’s happy. Republicans only matter. Democrats are ignorant.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

In what ways do you think being honest about our biases could help build a more just society?

 @9KRMB46Republican from Maryland  answered…2yrs2Y

When people are not being so caught up in their own opinions and biases, there will be a chnace to grow and get new viewpoints so people are not stuck in a narrow minded way of thinking. If people are more honest about biases, it could lead to healthy discussion and sharing between the citizens of America.

 @9KRM4ZLfrom Maine  answered…2yrs2Y

It would defiantly help a lot to help build a better society

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How do you think forgiveness plays a role in achieving social harmony?

 @9JG4K7Manswered…2yrs2Y

I believe that forgiveness is important for social harmony because without it, there will be a lot of tension in society overall.

Forgiveness is fundamental since society cantidad hold a certain numer of people accountable because "Social Justice" is very subjective and has an infinity of different interpretations.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

When has standing up for what you believe in brought you into conflict with friends or family?

 @9JQL84W  from Utah  answered…2yrs2Y

On a discord server in 2020 when I was an idiot, didn't know much about politics and I recited my parent's beliefs. Also for standing up for vaccines against my friend who is an anti-vaxxer, he got angry at me and we are chilling now but he really does not believe a vaccine works for covid. I understand how they work because I did a lot of research on Covid and vaccines in general, but he didn't care about learning about them.

 @9JQKRHR from Maryland  answered…2yrs2Y

Many times with my family, mostly my mother. I believe that all people deserve kindness, compassion, and respect regardless of race, gender or orientation. My mother believes in equality so long as transgender only refers to trans men or women and youth do not get gender affirming care.

What was a pivotal moment in your life that heightened your awareness of social justice issues?

 @9KN4GLTRepublican from Kentucky  answered…2yrs2Y

When i was 5 years old a doctor had told my mom that my baby brother was stillborn at 23 weeks and that she needed to give birth but there was no evidence that he was stillborn my brother was born alive and wasn't even cared for after he was born and almost killed my mom because she bled out and had to have 2 blood transfusions back to back to make her stable. My brother was alive for 48 minutes and nothing was done. my mom was given no justice and had a very unfair trial.

 @9KN45QW from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

i feel the as a brown hispanic female things are still diffrent from a young cacasion women and in this world nothing is free or fair and you should work hard for everything you want and it should be given to the best of the best

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Have you seen someone's opportunities limited by their background; what did that teach you about fairness?

 @9HV64NKSocialist  from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes. I believe black people have been limited today by the history of slavery, discrimination, segregation, and violence in America. Although racial discrimination was technically outlawed in the 1970s in NC (supposed to be 60s but NC was slow), the impacts from that discrimination live on with some of those who are alive today who have experienced it. They say it takes at least three generations to break cycles of trauma, influence culture, and form new habits. It will take at least three generations born after the time of the legal end of racial discrimination to overcome the impacts, viewpoints, and negative outcomes from the racism that our community has endured. We will not have a chance at true equity until the babies of the millennial generation come into adulthood, who have experienced true equity in opportunity.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

In what ways do you believe we can create a society where everyone has equal opportunities?

 @9HNC6D4 from New Jersey  answered…2yrs2Y

We must create a society where people's starting point has no effect on their journey. Meaning if one is born in a poor household or rich, different heritage or not, race difference or not, family issues or not everyone should have the same opportunity to excel.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If you witnessed someone facing injustice, what would be your first step to intervene?

 @9HWYH2F from Maryland  answered…2yrs2Y

Confront the person or contact someone that has the ability to correct the injustice.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Can you think of a situation where someone's identity affected the way they were treated and how that made you feel?

 @9HYL97Y from Utah  answered…2yrs2Y

Sometimes if some identifies as a different gender or thing it can cause me to get irritated cause I just feel like it is dumb and I don’t believe in being able to change something

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How does it affect you when people around you make prejudiced comments or jokes?

 @9HXPC3Y from Oregon  answered…2yrs2Y

It makes me angered that anyone has the right too judge someone without an actual judgment of their character

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What is one moment that made you aware of inequality?

 @9HL2D98Women’s Equality from Rhode Island  answered…2yrs2Y

My current job has shown favor to a male on the job who has been working for a significant amount of time there to a female who has been working there for just as long, especially pay wise.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Have you ever benefited from an unfair advantage; how did you recognize and respond to it?

 @9HWS4Z4 from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

I'm white in America, so yes, every day. I respond by donating some of my time and money to underserved communities in my area and advocating for policies that give these people more power and resources.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

When has a book, movie, or song opened your eyes to a social justice issue, and how did it change your perspective?

 @9LJ8V3F from Mississippi  answered…2yrs2Y

It made me feel for the people that went through the things they did.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Why do you think some people dedicate their lives to fighting for justice, and what can we learn from them?

 @9L577Q2 from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

That nobody is above the law no matter who they think they are.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What public figure’s actions or words have inspired you to make a positive change in your society?

 @9LG8DLH from Pennsylvania  answered…2yrs2Y

In the bible were taught by the Savior to love thy neighbor as thou lovest thyself so I think just doing what were taught as youth to treat others how you want to be treated

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How could learning from past social justice movements guide our actions today?

Bernie Sanders Charges Ahead As Democrats Stall Out

Bernie Sanders launched a tour in red states like Iowa and Nebraska to rally opposition to Donald Trump’s agenda, drawing massive crowds—thousands in Omaha and overflow audiences in Iowa City.Unlike the Democratic Party’s muted response to Trump’s election, Sanders is actively challenging the administration’s plutocratic policies, focusing on billionaire influence and federal deregulation.In Iowa City, Sanders spoke to packed venues, delivering back-to-back speeches to accommodate attendees, a first in his political career, highlighting his enduring appeal.He criticized Trump’s inner circle, including billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg, who attended the inauguration, and warned of their control over federal agencies.Sanders galvanized the crowd with historical references—suffrage, slavery, independence—urging grassroots action to counter Trump’s planned $1 trillion tax cuts for the rich and cuts to programs like Medicaid.Attendees expressed frustration with Democratic leaders like Hakeem Jeffries, calling their opposition to Trump weak or nonexistent, while praising Sanders for providing direction.Sanders highlighted the slim Republican House majority (three seats), suggesting constituent pressure could sway vulnerable GOP members to block Trump’s reconciliation bill.Early signs show GOP walkbacks—like Trump’s false claim Medicaid won’t be cut—after outrage over federal grant pauses disrupted services, proving grassroots impact.The crowd, mostly liberal, cheered Sanders’ defense of reproductive rights and jeered Trump’s USAID cuts and Zelensky attacks, though some noted a shift in his base—younger Trump supporters absent.Sanders ended with Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, framing the fight as a timeless struggle against billionaire rule, inspiring attendees like Audrey to re-engage and Erin to find hope in solidarity.
