Article: Social Justice
Social justice, understood in general terms, is the set of decisions, norms and principles considered reasonable by a certain social group.
A standard of justice would be what is considered most reasonable for a given situation. Reasonable means that a certain action is defensible before others regardless of their personal interests or opinions, that is, from an impartial perspective; thus, to justify something you have to give convincing reasons that others can share.
Earth Charter and
the business sector
Many critical global trends continue to go wrong. While many leading companies have made considerable progress, most have yet to establish policies to reduce their adverse impacts. Therefore, there is an urgent need to increase much more the level of business commitment, participation, ambition and action in the field of sustainable development.
Note: Self-portrait exhibition
by Deborah Lewinson
This exhibition is special and different, since the artists had to write a text explaining what they wanted to convey about themselves in the plastic work, which was a great challenge for them and on the other hand it will be a plus that we give to the viewer, since they will be able to appreciate the
work and read what the artist wanted to convey.
Section: Children and Environment
The value of friendship
Friendship as one of the most important values to develop in education for peace because it is defined as: Personal affection, pure and disinterested, shared with another person, which is born and strengthened through interrelationships between human beings.
The Mexican Red Cross

"The Red Cross was born in 1863, when five Genevan citizens, including Dunant, founded the International Committee for the Relief of the Wounded, which would later become the International Committee of the Red Cross. Its emblem was a red cross on a white background : the reverse of the Swiss flag The following year, 12 governments adopted the first Geneva Convention, a milestone in human history, which guarantees aid to the wounded and defines medical services as "neutral" in the field of battle.
