ADAMS, BELL AND GRIFFIN (2007) DEFINE SOCIAL JUSTICE AS BOTH A PROCESS AND A GOAL. "THE GOAL
OF SOCIAL JUSTICE EDUCATION IS FULL AND EQUAL PARTICIPATION OF ALL GROUPS IN A SOCIETY THAT IS MUTUALLY SHAPED TO MEET THEIR NEEDS. SOCIAL
JUSTICE INCLUDES A VISION OF SOCIETY THAT IS EQUITABLE AND ALL MEMBERS ARE PHYSICALLY AND
PSYCHOLOGICALLY SAFE AND SECURE."
