2. As Christians, it most certainly seems that we must as well participate in keeping justice for the sake of
the least, the last, and the lost, who are themselves always the first to suffer injustices and to wallow in
chaos. As a future professional, how can I advocate JUSTICE and, thereby, PEACE in my field and/or
career? Cite two (2) concrete ways on how to propagate justice in your future workspace. Describe
these actions and explain the possible impact or influence of these to your future colleagues or the
people around you. (20 points)
Advocating for justice and peace as a future professional, particularly as a Christian, can be a
meaningful and impactful endeavor. Here are two concrete ways you can propagate justice in your
future workspace:

1. Implementing Inclusive Policies and Practices:

• Description: Advocate for and actively contribute to the implementation of inclusive
policies and practices within your organization. This could involve promoting diversity in
hiring, ensuring fair treatment for all employees, and fostering an inclusive work
environment.
• Explanation of Impact: By championing inclusivity, you create a workplace culture that
values diversity and equal opportunities. This not only helps in addressing systemic
injustices but also contributes to a more harmonious and collaborative work
environment. Colleagues from diverse backgrounds will feel valued and heard, leading
to improved morale, creativity, and productivity.
2. Engaging in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Initiatives:
• Description: Encourage and participate in corporate social responsibility initiatives that
align with principles of justice and peace. This could include volunteering for community
outreach programs, supporting local charities, or advocating for environmentally
sustainable practices within your industry.
• Explanation of Impact: Through CSR initiatives, you actively contribute to the well-
being of the community beyond the confines of the workplace. This not only addresses
social inequalities but also enhances the corporate image of your organization.
Colleagues and stakeholders will see the company as socially responsible, leading to a
positive influence on your colleagues and inspiring a sense of purpose and pride among
employees.

By taking these actions, you create a ripple effect in your workplace, influencing your colleagues and
the people around you in several ways. Firstly, you demonstrate the values of justice and peace
through your actions, inspiring others to consider the impact of their decisions on the well-being of
all stakeholders. Secondly, you contribute to the development of a positive and ethical organizational
culture that promotes fairness and compassion. Lastly, by actively engaging in initiatives that address
societal challenges, you showcase the importance of social responsibility, encouraging your
colleagues to also contribute to the betterment of the community.

In summary, the concrete actions of implementing inclusive policies and engaging in CSR initiatives
can significantly influence your future workspace, fostering an environment where justice and peace
are not only advocated but actively practiced.
