I had the same assignment for a western religions class last year. I wrote about abortion and how it is viewed from the three Abrahamic religions. Here are some other examples from my class:

Alimony

Divorce

Euthanasia

Homosexuality

Mental Health Treatment

Polygamy

Stem Cell Research

Suicide

Here are some resources that I used for the research into the Jewish and Muslim viewpoints.

The Oxford Dictionary of World Religions

Bowker, John

New York: Oxford University Press, 1997.

Encyclopedia of Islam in the United States

Cesari, Jocelyne

Connecticut: Greenwood Press, 2007

The Oxford Dictionary of the Jewish Religion

Werblowsky, R.J. Zwi, Wigoder, Geoffrey

New York: Oxford University Press, 1997.

Hope this helps!

Try using an encyclopedia to understand the word homophobia and go to your nearest public library and talk to the librarian for the meaning of Social Justice. Good luck.

From an activism point of view, social justice usually encompasses the following types of things:

Treatment of the poor, or those in unfortunate situations even if they "deserve it."

Treatment of people of third-world countries.

Treatment of people of minority groups.

(These include acts by people, groups, and organizations.)

It can also encompass:

War

The environment

Global health (for example, the HIV epidemic in Africa)

Economic class inequalities (specifically, when imposed or extorted)

Homophobia or even Gay Marriage would be good examples.
