Social Justice (Period 23456)

Based on Scripture and an overview of the Catholic Church documents which support and explain the role and responsibilities of the Christian in the 21st Century world, this Senior level Social Justice class challenges and invites the student to actively incorporate these principles and values into her/his own life experience. Students will be expected to 1) know the basic documents, principles, values, and directions of Catholic Social Justice Teaching; 2) analyze, explain and defend these principles; 3) evaluate the application or denial of these principles in real-world situations (both current and historical events); 4) engage himself/herself in actions which carry out these principles and to reflect on and evaluate these actions.
