Social Justice 9th Grade Cheat Sheet (DRAFT) by

Social Justice for Grade 9th Students with Pearson Curriculum

This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.

Session 1 – Justice and Injustice

Coloni­alism created wealth for some people (mainly coloni­sers) but caused suffering, exploi­tation, and denial of rights for others (mainly colonised people).
Coloni­sation often meant resources and industries were taken away from colonised countries and controlled by the coloni­sers.
Example: The Indian cotton industry. Cotton was grown in India but sent to England to be processed, giving wealth to English mill owners and leaving Indian workers poor.
Resist­ance, like Gandhi’s protests, showed how injustice could be challenged and eventually led to indepe­ndence.
Important Points:

1. Justice = fairness, equal rights, respect.
2. Injustice = unfair treatment, exploi­tation, denial of rights.
3. Legacy of coloni­alism = lasting effects still seen in inequality today.
  

Session 2 – Wealth and Poverty in Society

Poverty can be caused by lack of education, unempl­oyment, unfair trade, corrup­tion, or natural disasters.
Initia­tives may include charities, NGOs, government progra­mmes, or community projects.
It is important to critically evaluate these initia­tives: Are they effective? Who benefits? Is the solution long-term or short-­term?
Important Points:

1. Wealth and poverty are connected to fairness in society.
2. Addressing poverty is not only about giving money, but also about creating opport­unities (educa­tion, health­care, jobs).
3. Different approaches have different impacts — some may empower people, others may create depend­ency.
