In this video, Christian (Unknown about last name) explains what and how people felt about Social Injustice. Christian said, "when a group or individual are treated unfairly in society and do not have the same rights as others.¨ After this definition he explains many people associated with Social Injustice.

Social Injustice Video Response By Emilio Manglona
Video on Social Justice and Social Injustice
In this video, Jonah Goldberg explains what social injustice means. He said, "Social justice is about the state amassing ever increasing power in order to do: GOOD THINGS." After this statement, he explains what those positive things are. They are whatever the champions of social justice decide to prioritize for the time being. In Lord of the Flies, Jack declared hunting is the most important thing to focus on, while Ralph believed getting rescued was the number one priority. Jack and Ralph are the ones in charge, therefore they are the champions of social justice in this book.
Another point Goldberg discussed compassion and greed. Ralph displayed compassion by sharing his power with the others. On the other hand, Jack showed greed by trying to keep as much of the power to himself. Jack will do whatever it takes to be in control of everyone even if it means to eliminate someone who opposes him.
