The term social refers to a characteristic of living organisms as applied to populations humans and other animals. It always refers to the interaction of organisms with other organisms and to their collective co-existence, irrespective of whether they are aware of it or not, and irrespective of whether the interaction is voluntary or involuntary.

We're all talking about Trayvon Martin now. But why did it take so long, and where was social media when Martin's family needed it most? As I write.
What does social justice and equity mean?
Q. I have looked through all the answers on this question previous and this is what i've come up with. 'Social justice means being entitled to the same rights and services as all other citizens, which obviously would be hard for someone that only earns $2 a week. Equity refers to fairness and providing people with equal rights and incomes, taking into consideration that people come from different cultures, backgrounds and so on. It is very similar to Social Justice.' Can anyone tell me if that sounds correct? It appeared that there is disputing opinions on this topic. Thanks for any help.

A. Those answers are crap, basically. Do your own research: have you ever Googled 'social justice' or 'social equity'? You'll be surprised at the many resources that ahow up when you do. Wikipedia will be one of those resources, and is 'usually' a reliable source. For one thing, social equity does NOT mean that everyone should be paid the same. Do some meaningful research, please. Getting answers like those is one of many reasons that YA should be the LAST place to look for an answer, at least in this particular case.
