Popis: Every person in the physical education disciplines must become an advocate for social justice. This entails realistic self-examination, awareness of unearned privilege, and an open-hearted willingness to grasp the myriad cultural influences upon human communication, construction of knowledge, identity, and valuing. Rejection of a system in which a few can impose their wills upon all others, knowingly or not, is a radical act that can facilitate comprehension of the strengths that lie in people's differences, as well as in their similarities. Commitment to social justice should permeate scholarly, cumcular, and professional activities. This will enrich the disciplines, place physical education professionals in the mainstream of an increasingly diverse society, and support the dignity and rights of each colleague and student.
