¶ … Obstacles to Achieving Greater Justice in Our Collective Lives
Today, major disparities continue to exist between the rich and poor in terms of money, political and health care access as well as treatment by the criminal justice system. Although these types and other fundamental inequalities have existed through history, the fact that these disparities remain firmly in place in the 21st century suggests that they are intractable to change unless aggressive steps are taken to overcome them. To this end, this paper reviews the literature to identify the greatest obstacles to achieving greater justice in our collective lives today, including class, race, gender, and ability as well as the potential for a combination of these to represent the greatest obstacle. An examination concerning how people acculturated to view these categories that interfere with meaningful change to achieve greater justice from various perspectives in the future is followed by a summary of the research and important findings concerning these issues in the conclusion.

Despite what many people might believe otherwise, the United States is characterized by several classes, including lower, middle and upper-classes, as well as subdivisions within these categories. Each of these classes is defined by how much money people make which is frequently a function of ability, but also race and gender which have an effect on the types of opportunities that are available to people. If the U.S. was a true meritocracy, it would enjoy the best leadership possible, but the historical record confirms that this has not happened with the possible exception of Thomas Jefferson as president. Although progress has been made in overcoming these constraints, many individuals remain marginalized from mainstream American society due to one or a combination of all of these factors. Blacks and women continue to earn less than white males for the same type of work, and people who are disadvantaged economically...

The stigmatization of African-Americans has caused terrible harm in many areas, and only exacerbates the perceived "problem." T]hirty years of forced removal to prison of 150,000 young males from particular communities of New York represents collective losses similar in scale to the losses due to epidemics, wars, and terrorist attacks -- with the potential for comparable effects on the survivors and the social structure of their families and communities.

In the experimental community, the researchers instituted a media campaign to increase seat-belt usage, followed by increased police enforcement of the seat-belt law. It was found that the percentage of drivers using seat belts increased in the experimental community but remained stable or declined slightly in the comparison community (Piquero and Piquero, 2002). An example of the before-and-after design would be the analysis of the impact of the Massachusetts Bartley-Fox
popularized social and cultural trends are merging, intentionally or not, toward laying the foundation for generating a new narrative about what it means to learn across a lifespan in an environment conducive to healthy living. It seeks to examine the coalescing of what is called lifelong learning side-by-side with the theories and practices related to the evolution of ecological thinking and environmental awareness. The idea that life can be
