Your Question?
Hi, I have sum scenarios here that I really need assistance.

Battlers
Shirley and Maclom both come from families where unemployment was the 'norm'. Mlcolm has three part-time jobs: Shirely works as a casual at a local factory. They both want to 'ho ahead so their children have a better life than they did. They would love to buy their 'own little place' but find it impossible to save, even though they both work long hours. Shirley was offered a full-time permanent job but by th time she paid child care fees the family would be no better off financially.

Declining circumstances
john, a senior manager, and Mary, a management consultant, enjoyed an affluent lifestyle until the birth of their third child, Christa, who was born with multiple disabilities. Mary resigned her position as it was the only way she could cope with the demands of caring for Christa. when christa was three months old, john was retrenched as part of his companys restructure. Faced with a huge mortgage, supporting his wife and family and with no prospcts of another job, John is very depressed and has begun to use alcohol as an escape from his problems.

1) Relate the above family situations to issue of social justice?

For the question 1), it's best for you to gain an understanding of what social justice is. Then using this information relate it to each of the scenarios. You are on the right track with your response, however you need to give more detail. read the scenarios and relate each one to what social justice stands for.

This may help:

For the second question think about how important it is for all children and families to be given an opportunity to be provided with early childhood education. This enables a child to socially interact with other children and explore learning and further their development. This is an example of why it is important for early childhood education must support all types families regardless of their welfare.

Hope this helps,
