Provide a defination of Social Justice ( APA reference required)
  • Interpret this defination in your own words providing an example of considerations of social justice and information technology in OT practice.
Social Justice in society is based primarily upon the equality and the solidarity of human rights and the undersatnding  the dignity of human rights in all starta of society.
The equality of opportunity for all concerned that covers a wide range of people in society of all ethnicity, caste, religion and economic dimension.
According to Sociology Guide.Com(2011).
"His first statement of principle was made in A Theory of Justice (1971) where he proposed that, "Each person possesses an inviolability founded on justice that even the welfare of society as a whole cannot override. "

Social Justice requires equal justice and rights to technology for all. Therefore for an OT practicing as a clinician, he should be able to provide equal amount of innovative technology for his clients if that is going to enhance his qulaity of life and sustain his life better. If IT is going to make his life comfortable, then he should be able to justify his funding applications and provide his client iwth the necessary tool. Sometimes, cost and funding is a deterrant for providing clients with the necessary technology. However it is the OT's challenge to prove that it is beneficial for his client.
