As I read the last few chapters in Adam’s social justice
book, I noticed several chapters mentioned the need to unite, heal, and
respect. What exactly does unite, heal,
and respect mean? The last few chapters helped me realize: All human beings
must unite in respect for one another in order to heal from past social
injustice issues and strive to become more socially just.
Unite: (transitive verb) 1. To put
together to form a single unit
2.
To cause to adhere
3.
To link by a legal or moral bond
(Intransitive
verb) 1. To possess in combination
2.
To become one or as if one
3.
To become combined by or as if by adhesion or mixture
4.
To act in concert
Heal: 1. To make healthy, whole, or
sound; restore to health; free from aliment
2.
To bring to an end or conclusion, as conflicts between people or groups,
usually with strong
implication of restoring former amity; settle; reconcile
3.
To free from evil; cleanse; purify
Respect: Denotes
a positive feeling of esteem or deference for a person or other entity, and
also specific
actions and conduct
representative of that esteem
