Question

In 250- 300 words, please describe how your passion for social justice and social equity informs your current college and future career pursuits?

Can someone please break down what this means and give an example.

Answer 1

The given question is aimed at assessing the student’s current level of understanding of social issues pertaining to equality and a critical understanding of the problems of marginalisation faced by certain communities based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, class, etc. a substantial answer to this question would require you to reflect and write about your own thoughts and feelings about a particular social or humanitarian cause and your passion towards carrying your ideological sensibility forward in the direction of your educational and professional pursuits. For example, if you are inclined towards feminist movement and protecting women’s rights in educational institutions and workplaces, then you can show how this has motivated you towards studying courses on the history of feminist politics in the America, or international human rights laws if you are interested in the inequal distribution of wealth according to globalisation, etc.
