Justice and Change in Global World

Question: Discuss about the Justice and Change in Global World. Answer: Introduction: The principle of the common good can only get perceived as common if every professional community both locally and globally is involved (Banks, 2004, p. 300). For me, the common good is limited to niche circles, and various challenges face the principle. Realizing aspirations of the common good in the professional community, locally and globally is challenging; social, relational, financial, spiritual, and educational poverty being the mother of all public good challenges. Such problems hinder unleashing the benefits of human dignity, and this calls us to respond with solidarity, sobriety, vigilance, compassion, and generosity. Concurrently, we are compelled to acknowledge the adverse effects that lack of common good has had towards enhancing education to our students, I being a victim. In the past decades, people enjoyed the progress of humanity for justice was key (Poronnik and Moni, 2006, p. 80). For me, we face between a society where a few people sacrifice for the common good and most of us selfishly protect our interests to enjoy own benefits. The lack of investment to education by the government has hindered us from accessing quality education which can help us innovate new approaches of leveling human dignity for all. Self-interest cuts across all sectors and is a menace when it comes to impacting justice over the people. From all the news, newspapers, and internet; it is evident from the social commentators that individual interest is a global social problem and affects professional communities. Our traditions value individual freedom over personal rights and allow us to mind our own business. An individualistic culture, it is impossible to convince students to sacrifice their time and personal issues for the betterment of the society. Appeals of realizing the common good in the professional community, both globally and locally are also confronted by unequal sharing of burdens (Barton and Levstik, 2004, p. 8). For example, it 's hard to ensure equitable distribution of job opportunities for students. Some gender, either male or female needs to sacrifice opportunities to enhance equity. From my experience, forcing individuals to carry unequal burdens in the name of common good is unjust. Students resist any attempt to secure common goals in their profession when such policies get proposed. Free rider problem hinder the success of common good in our professional community. Students are subject to this issue since some of us just want to be helped and fail to do their part (Bencze and Carter, 2011, p. 650). Access to free education is a common good meant to benefit all of us. However, to keep the school system productive, we need to be creative and innovative. Instead, students get lazy and assume this opportunity. From my research, the idea of common good in professional community is not consistent with various society's beliefs. The good life of humanity in the professional community is viewed differently by the community, both locally and globally. A healthy educational system is necessary. However, some countries or society do not see this importance. Instead, they prefer the resources be invested in health sector other than education (Harris, P.G., 2009, p. 90). We then experience this challenge in our endeavors to make the maximum out of our capabilities. Further, integration of common good into the professional requirements by students is difficult. The society both locally and globally has failed to agree on matters about the manner by which education costs are balanced against their benefits (Clatworthy, 2014, p. 5). I can tell that common good does not just happen, realizing its aspirations in the professional society requires cooperative efforts of all citizens. All people should acknowledge that these efforts pay off since common good is enjoyed without any exclusion. For example, all students enjoy the free access to education when the government finances this. The current crisis confronting aspirations of enjoying the progress of common good in the professional society reinforce the significance of global values for global social advancement. We need to employ more efforts in developing in-nation solutions that can adequately protect common good and humanity. We honor the legacy of the world's approach to humankind. However, we suggest that the government should employ extra efforts and invest more in the education industry to enable students to learn the benefits of common good, both locally and in the global arena.
