We all have a responsibility in fighting injustice. But, how does that look?

Some will take a more vocal role, while others will do the hard work behind the scenes. There is no one right way to fight against the wrong happening to individuals.

Injustice discriminates against, but is not limited to:

• race
• gender
• sexual orientation

The Enneagram is a helpful tool in explaining different personality types, and I thought this might be a good time to highlight some of the strengths each type exhibits in the fight against injustice.

Of course, the description below are not exhaustive, nor are they meant to excuse individuals from not being active in other ways as well.

But, maybe this will help in understanding differences, and how the strengths of every type are so very needed, in every aspect of life.

Type One: The Moral Perfectionist

Type ones tend to be naturally very responsible, and focused on doing the right thing. Ones are generally fair, authentic, reliable and trustworthy to follow through on their commitments. In the fight against injustice, ones lead the way in setting high and equitable standards for us all to follow.

Type Two: The Supportive Advisor

Type twos tend to have a natural tendency to take care of others. Twos are generally empathetic, good listeners and intuitive to know what others need. In the fight against injustice, twos lead the way in teaching the world about compassion and putting the needs of others first.
