Proposal for Social Justice Documentation Project

The topic for my historical record that will meet our criteria in regards to a social justice/injustice issue will be on homosexuality. I will conduct an interview with a variety of questions. This will help me determine the general view of both heterosexuals and homosexuals and those in a religious group and those who are not. At the same time voices will be heard from both sides. My interview will be based on the public’s view on homosexuality and marriage, and any law, religion or personal morals/beliefs of those groups and individuals that would approve same-sex marriages or the banning of same sex marriage. The social group being presented is homosexuals. The faces of oppression this social group falls under are as follows: Violence, Marginalization, Powerlessness, and Cultural Imperialism. It will be a transcription of interviews, an audio recording, and a possible website. This project will also have a small introduction and summary on the blog and link(s) for more information on the project for those interested. This piece of information that I will be presenting will fit our class criteria in many ways and will have supported feedback for all under our class criterion. The topics I will look up include: information on marriages, the law in different states and their interpretations, the bible itself and individuals in religious groups and how they themselves interpret the bible. These topics, I feel, will help me identify the views and understanding of any prohibitions and acceptance, why and what exactly these groups are looking at for interpretations and the means for justification.
