"Social justice is about equality and fairness between human beings. It works on the universal principles that guide people in knowing what is right and what is wrong. This is also about keeping a balance between groups of people in a society or a community. A fair perception about race, age, gender, culture, laws, traditions, beliefs is considered a good balance. Social justice happens when a person or group of persons do not harbor prejudices that are detrimental to peaceful and productive relationships among individuals or groups.
A witness who is concerned about social justice will alert the police about the felon's crime so that the felon will be punished and social justice will prevail.
Social Justice Definition
A workable social justice definition can be seen in terms of just compensation or salary. In exchange for services or work rendered, there must be economic or monetary reward. The respect for human dignity and practice of civility in the workplace is a good example of social justice. An employee who is constantly scolded in front of other employees suffers from social injustice.

Secondly, you're applying the definition of "social justice" to systems in place in the United States. This is just a definition, it cites no examples of which countries have social justice.
Third, from reading your responses to this question, I think this is just another bogus attempt to have crack at the Health Care Bill that was upheld by SCOTUS. You're just couching it as a legitimate inquiry. Next time just be honest and say that is what you are doing and then all your little right wing friends can come and vent about socialism and i won't waste my time.
Truthfully, I would like to understand how progressives conceptualize it because they sure throw the concept around a lot. You seem a little touchy about it. If you posted a similar question about something that I was passionate about I'd be sure and give you my opinion about it and not be embarrassed about what I believed in.
Part of what social justice is, IMO, a hazy concept with no true meaning that they can bend and shape to fit their agenda. A phrase with a feel good name and very little true justice.
You can take it or leave it but when you have to be thin-skinned about something you supposedly believe in, you should re-evaluate your convictions.
So, pick out some untruth and we can discuss it. I'm perfectly capable of backing up anything I've said here. Don't dismiss it because you don't like it.
I also have a different question: How does your concept of social justice compare with your concept of "Utopia"?
The only concept of I have of a "utopia" comes from my college reading of the book by the same name by Thomas Moore. I, myself, don't believe it is possible to attain on Earth. We can only strive for a more "perfect union."
Many people think that should include redistribution of wealth. But what I've seen is that most people on the top of the totem pole espouse this in order to obtain power and control over those lower on the totem pole.
You hit on exactly what it's about and that is for man to dictate every aspect of our lives. It's a term designed to give the elitist the power to realign society. Marx would be proud!
