vocabulary简明 Life isn’t fair, and that quality is exactly what defines injustice: something unfair that happens, often in violation of a basic human right.
vocabulary扩展 In the early 19th century in the United States, women could not legally vote, but they fought back against this injustice and eventually won voting rights. The word comes from a Latin phrase that literally means “not right,” and injustice is the opposite of justice, which is a fair and righteous act. Injustice can be general or specific, like the injustice suffered by poor people everywhere, or an individual act of injustice committed by some unkind person.
