What does social justice and equity mean?

Hello friends,

What does social justice and equity mean? Any suggestion would be appreciated!

Best regards

Anyone care to delve into the Age of Enlightenment? Or maybe French Revolution, perhaps? Dare I leave out the American Revolution?

@MarieColvin, I suggest you do some reading... Lots of reading, then come back here and ask this question.

'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?
