JUSTICE AND CHANGE IN GLOBAL WORLD
Background
The current study focuses upon the concept of justice and change in this global world.
The definitions of justice and change have evolved drastically from the colonial times till
date. Some of these have been influenced by the perception and beliefs of the people which
are shaped by the societal forces. In the current study we have taken into consideration the
perspective of justice and change in the global world and the manner in which they have alter
the conditions of the asylum seekers. The aspect of nursing management and their role in
addressing the change in the global world with respect to the health status monitoring of the
refugees have been discussed over here.
Justice and change in global world
The concept of justice is much dependent upon the changes within the society and the
manner in which some of these changes affect the social factors. In this respect, the change of
government, situations of peace and war between nations have often been seen to drift the
societal forces for or against particular population groups. As mentioned by Appleby, Bell, &
Boetto (2017), the changes in immigration policies have also been seen to affect the survival
scope of the asylum seekers to a considerable amount. With rise in the amount of terrorism
activities worldwide several countries have made their immigration policies stricter including
Australia. Therefore, owing to the stricter immigration policies the foreign nationalities are
often debarred from the basic privileges and services within a host country. At present there
do 27, 000 asylum seekers in Australia who have fled from their homeland owing to war,
torture or trauma.They often have to wait longer for getting their protection applications
passed. Australia has an international obligation to provide protection to refugees under the
1951 convention relating to the status of the refugees. As mentioned by Warren (2017), one
of the biggest disadvantages for the immigrants lies in the inability to speak in English. In my

opinion, culture and education forms the basis of all racial discriminations in in the changing
world. Though the counties are united by a spirit of common good, individual good and a
sense of security often affects the objective of attaining a unified good for the society. The
asylum seekers often suffer from poor income conditions which could be attributed to the
changing political scenario or power dynamics. As per the justice notion proclaimed by the
United Nations, the developed countries need to provide sufficient shelter opportunities to the
refugees. However, owing to the changing national and international security we can see little
hope with the protection policies.
Nursing management of asylum seekers
The refugees settled in foreign countries are often deprived of the basic living
conditions which could deteriorate their physical and mental well being over the longer run.
Some of the basic living conditions include right to appropriate living conditions,
employment and education standards. The changes in the government rules and regulations
often affect quality and the kind of living standards offered to the asylum seekers. These
could be further explained with reference to some recent events and scenarios. As mentioned
by Hadgkiss & Renzaho (2016), under changing circumstances many of the immigrants have
been forced to leave Australia. Based upon the incident from Nauru a refugee boy kept on
crying for taking his sick mother to the hospital. However, he received no help and the
emergency medical services were much delayed in response leading to the death of the
patient. Additionally, the detention environment had further made people suicidal.
Some of the urgent requirements which could be highlighted over here were provision
of a community based nursing care services for the detained refugees. The nurses who were
properly trained in management of the condition of the refugees had been employed for

looking after the health condition of the refugees. They often served as channels linking the
local or rural health services with the mainstream health services.
The current editorial focuses on the aspect of justice and change in global world and
the manner in which they affect the condition of the asylums seekers. This has been further
discussed with reference to the condition of the asylum seekers in Australia. Some of them
have been experiencing unequal social distribution patterns related to health, job prospects
and education. One of the most affected parameter amidst the changing global a conditions is
health. Hopefully, engagement of sufficiently trained healthcare professionals could
relatively help in balancing the unequal distribution of health (Fair, Harris & Smith, 2018). It
is for time to see!
