Directions
Begin by reviewing the Project Guidelines and Rubric to understand the full extent of the final project. Then read through the Project Scenarios document and choose one scenario to focus on for the entire project—your selection will carry through all upcoming modules. That document is under the Supporting Materials section below.

Download the Project Template under What to Submit, if you haven’t already. This template is your working document for the entire course and should be updated each time a new part of the project is assigned.

For this assignment, complete Part One of the template using your selected scenario and the prompts provided. Be certain to save your work—you’ll continue building on this document in future modules.

In your response, you must address the below items in the project template. Use specific examples from your chosen scenario to support your answers where noted. Including examples will help you meet expectations as outlined in the rubric.

Justice, Fairness, and Equality: Explain the difference between justice, fairness, and equality as they apply in the chosen scenario. Include at least one specific example to illustrate their impact.
In what ways do justice, fairness, and equality lead to different outcomes for the people involved in your scenario?
Bias: Describe how bias could impact social justice in the chosen scenario, supported with specific examples.
What types of unconscious or implicit bias might be present? How could they shape people’s actions, decisions, or access to resources?
Different Narratives: Explain how different narratives circulating in society could impact how social justice is perceived in the chosen scenario.
What do people usually say or believe about the group in your scenario? How could those beliefs affect how others think or act?
Core Principles of Social Justice: Explain all of the core principles of social justice in the chosen scenario, supported with specific examples.
Which principles are most relevant in your example? How are they being supported or ignored?
