Social Justice Found Within a Cultural Artifact                 Author Note Clint A. Wilson, Huntington University Correspondence concerning this article should be addressed to Clint Wilson, Contact: clint@clintawilson.com             Abstract The purpose of this paper is to analyze the image at the bottom of the paper, and how it relates to social justice.       Social Justice Found Within a Cultural Artifact The cultural artifact that I have chosen is an image of a poster distributed by On Earth Peace in their year report to the Church of the Brethren Annual Conference 2015. This poster raised much controversy among some of the more fundamentalist groups present, and I feel it represents every area of social justice if we just look close enough to see. The first image in this collage that jumps out of me is the little Nigerian girl holding a sign that I am unable to read beneath it states #bringhomeourgirls. This image is referenced to the Chibook girls that were kidnapped by Boko Haram which is a clear social injustice based on their beliefs or their ethnicity. Multiple images portray examples of racism that have been mainstream in the media as of late. Rather we believe the actions that caused these movements is racism or not is of little importance when you look at the impact on society these movements are having. Racism is rampant in our country, and it won't end anytime soon. The image shows the results of racism in the I Can’t’ Breathe, and the Hands Up Don’t Shoot signs depicted. The final area I am choosing to discuss is the gender equality or as the book says sexism. According to the text, “Sexism is undergirded, unfortunately, by various organized religions that cite ancient texts alleging the superiority of the male.” (Suppes & Wells, 2012) The image shows two women pastors laying hands on a man, then near the center top; we see the woman wearing the conspicuously rainbow colored stole. Both of these images deflate many church sexist misinterpretations that claim that women cannot be heads of the church. This picture below could have an entire volume wrote about the social (in)justices found on it and all of the symbolism that surrounds it.       References Suppes, M. A., & Wells, C. C. (2012).
