Is it possible to be fair without considering everyone who will be affected by your decision? (Minimum 3 sentences)
-No not really. Because if you don't consider everyone, then you will leave some one out. Then they might be treated unfair. It is also unfair for them to not be considered.

Give an example. (Minimum 4 senetences)

-If you are going to buy somthing expensive. If you take the money from a friend without considering what he might need the monely for. That would be unfair to him. I guess that would also be stealing.


What does intolerance have to do with unfairness? (Minimum 5 sentences)

-If you let one person do somthing such as go use the bath room. Then you don't let some one else who asks that would be unfair. If you know the person can't be trusted to do somthing that you let the other do, that is different. I guess intolerance has alot to do with fairness. Then again im not sure what it means.


Most people think fairness requires us to treat people equally.


What does it mean to treat people equally? (Minimum 4 sentences)

-Treat eveyone the same. Don't judge some one by their race or where they are from. Treat them equally no matter what. That would be pretty equal i guess.


Give examples of equal and unequal treatment. (Minimum 5 sentences)

-If two kids get into a fight. They both hit each other. But only one gets suspended that is unfair. If they fight and both hit each other. Then both get punished the same, that is equal treatment.


Can you think of a situation in which it might be right to give someone a special advantage? (Minimum 4 sentences)

-If the two kids fight. They both hit each other. Then one is suspended for a few days because he has never been in any trouble. And the other boy is suspended for longer because it is his 3rd or4th offense then it would be right.


Are there ever good reasons to give unequal consequences for the same offense? (Minimum 3 sentences)

-Yes there are. Back to the same subject. If one boy is suspended longer because he is a multiple offender, then it would be allright.

Is it possible to be fair without considering everyone who will be affected by your decision? (Minimum 3 sentences)
no because everybody has an opinion. especially if they in on the situation. if you dont want to hurt them they need to be confronted.


Give an example. (Minimum 4 senetences)
if your mom wants to purchase something and does not tell your dad. that would be considered being unfair. you need to consult with every one about stuff that will effect them to. being unfair is not a good quility.


What does intolerance have to do with unfairness? (Minimum 5 sentences)
a person that is intolerant has little to do with people that are not fair. they want take much of them being unfair. its important to be fair to people because you never know who is intolerant. people that are intolerant need to loosen up a little bit. also people that are not fair need to be more fair.


Most people think fairness requires us to treat people equally.
yes


What does it mean to treat people equally? (Minimum 4 sentences)
do to them what you would want to be done to you. treat them like they were your on. give everybody a chance and the same ammount of chances. you cant give one person more than another.

Give examples of equal and unequal treatment. (Minimum 5 sentences)
one the baseball field. if someone is working hard, but doesnt play and the guy that plays is not working hard you should give the guy that is working hard the chance. it is the same way on the football field or in any sports. it can be the same way at school. someone could cheat and do good and nobody would know.

Can you think of a situation in which it might be right to give someone a special advantage? (Minimum 4 sentences)
if someone is lacking the knowledge that the other person is. or if there handicap and are not capable of doing things. and if the person is younger than the other person. besides all of that it should be equal.

Are there ever good reasons to give unequal consequences for the same offense? (Minimum 3 sentences)
no not really but i can see why if that is done. if some one has commited that offense more than once. and if they have been in trouble before.

Is it possible to be fair without considering everyone who will be affected by your decision? (Minimum 3 sentences)
-Ill have to disagree with that statement. Because it is not possible to be fair without thinking of everyone else that would be affected by it. You have to think of others before you do anything or make a decision for anything.


Give an example. (Minimum 4 senetences)
-Like for example you have a group of people that is with you on a team. Your the leader of the team so you have to pick wich way you and your team should go. You cant forget about the more heavy people on the team so you wanna pick abn easier route. So if you would of picked one of the harder and longer route then some of your team will struggle as you go along.


What does intolerance have to do with unfairness? (Minimum 5 sentences)
-Intolerance has alot to do with unfairness. Like if you couldnt be tolerated by people and you didnt like them then you could be unfair to them in ways. You just wanted to be mean so you were unfair with others. Or you couldnt tolerate someone. So you were unfair to them with stuff.


Most people think fairness requires us to treat people equally.


What does it mean to treat people equally? (Minimum 4 sentences)
-Treating people equally means that your nice to everyone. Or that your including everyopne in on what your doing. Not just like half of the a group but all of the group. Treating people equally means to never treat them unequally.

Give examples of equal and unequal treatment. (Minimum 5 sentences)
-For example treating someone equall is your at a resaurant and your a waiter and you are at a table taking someones order with respect. Well when you go to another tabel you need to treat those other people with the same respect. Or your giving out candy to people you need to share it equally with all the children. You give them all the same amount and not one child had more than the other. Treating someone unequally is for example letting another child ride more laps on a gocart and not letting the other children ride the same amount of laps. Or letting someone go to the bathroom and not letting anyone else go that has to.


Can you think of a situation in which it might be right to give someone a special advantage? (Minimum 4 sentences)
-Yes i can think of a situation where someone could have a special advantage. Like for example someone that has a problem or some kind of issue. If someone has some kind of problem then in some things they would have a special advantage in. And its not being unfair to do that.


Are there ever good reasons to give unequal consequences for the same offense? (Minimum 3 sentences)
-No i think that there is never a good reason to do that. If you and someone has dont the same offense and nothing else then you should both serve and take the same consequence. They should both get equal punishment for whatever they both did.

Is it possible to be fair without considering everyone who will be affected by your decision?
-It could be possible if you knew you were doing the right thing. It will affect other people but it's right. Being fair is easy and simple.

Give an example.
-During cheerleading practice the seniors have to be fair to all of us. Some people don't know the dance and we all have to keep doing it over. We keep doing it so it will be fair for everyone. This happens a lot in practice.

What does intolerance have to do with unfairness?
-Intolerance has to do with being not respectful. You have to be respectful to be fair. Intolerance is pretty much another word for unfair. Intolerance is not a good thing to be. Life will be easier if everyone was all fair to each other.

Most people think fairness requires us to treat people equally.


What does it mean to treat people equally?
-To treat people all the same. Everyone needs to be treated equally as if we were all the same. Someone shouldn't get treated different because they don't dress like us or something. Being equal is a good thing in life.

Give examples of equal and unequal treatment.
An equal example is like the teacher giving everyone candy instead of just one person. An unequal example is like if the teacher just gives one person candy. Another equal example is giving everyone homework instead of one person. Another unequal example is just giving one person homework. Equal and unequal things happen everyday.

Can you think of a situation in which it might be right to give someone a special advantage?
-If that person has done something to earn it. If someone did something certain for that person it would be ok for that person to have special advantages. It's still not fair but it's ok. Everyone should still be treated the same.

Are there ever good reasons to give unequal consequences for the same offense?
-Yes, there is times when people sould get unequal treatments. If someone got in trouble, they shouldn't get candy in class. The person who got in trouble needs to learn from his behavior.

Is it possible to be fair without considering everyone who will be affected by your decision?
No it is not. You might not be fair to a person you did not think about. So always think before you go through with it.


Give an example.
During basketball all the seniors have the upper hand. All the seniors get to start. What they do not realize is that they are playing over the juniors. It’s fair unless one of the juniors has more talent than the senior.

What does intolerance have to do with unfairness?
You have to tolerate certain things sometimes. You might have to put up with someone. You might have to put up with something. It might make you look bad. You still have to do it though.

Most people think fairness requires us to treat people equally.


What does it mean to treat people equally?
To treat others like you would want to be treated. To be nice to others at all times. To respect others opinions no matter their thoughts. Also you have to be fair to everyone.

Give examples of equal and unequal treatment. If all the team gets to play the game. Or if the sophomores do not getting to play. The thing is if the younger kids’ talent is higher then you play him. If you do not play him you are being unfair. You can’t judge someone by there age.


Can you think of a situation in which it might be right to give someone a special advantage?
Maybe if yall are in a race or something. If you know that your are going to bet them. You could act like they are close to you. Then you could blow them way at the end of the race.


Are there ever good reasons to give unequal consequences for the same offense?
No, I do not think so. That’s just my opinion on it though others might think so. I do not think that there are maybe in certain n situations though.

Is it possible to be fair without considering everyone who will be affected by your decision?
No, that is highly impossible. You would have to be either an idiot or just plain inconsiderate to think that. Everything affects something.

Give an example.

Well, one I remember when I was a kid was the playground rules. If you were not buddies with the “cool” kid, you weren’t allowed to play. They would only treat there own with kindness. Really, it’s stupid to think things happen like that, but that’s life and nothing will ever be fair for anyone.

What does intolerance have to do with unfairness?
Just like before, it’s based on people’s opinions. If they like you, great things could happen. If it is the opposite, you’re the farthest from luck. Yeah, they claim the “likes and don’t likes”. The fact is people think their opinions back up their reasons. Reality is – opinions are the excuse to not being told you’re wrong.

What does it mean to treat people equally?
Equality is balance. Even though our government strived to be “equal” in the beginning, it isn’t now. Whether it is on purpose or not is anyone’s guess. I just know that those who search for such a thing are wasting time.



Give examples of equal and unequal treatment.

I can’t really give an example of either. It’s more than impossible to define something so messed up. There are way more variables than most people think. It isn’t just the equal part, it’s the fact that no one can attain it no matter what people think is equal. There is no such thing as equal treatment.


Can you think of a situation in which it might be right to give someone a special advantage?
There is no time in which giving special advantage is right. But, right isn’t the point. Usually special advantage is given when both parties are getting something in return. Selfish tactics is all that is.


Are there ever good reasons to give unequal consequences for the same offense?
Well, the only one I can think of (remember this is a selfish reason) is fighting. If one person starts a fight by throwing the first punch and the receiver blocks or hits back in defense, both are in trouble. I kind of find this stupid, but then again – it’s made to teach a lesson to others. No one wants unneeded problems.

-I guess it is possible. Maybe if you are just treating everyone bad. Or if people are offended about it.

Give an example. (Minimum 4 sentences)
I guess it is very possible. You don’t really have to consider everyone else. If you were not helping anybody or doing anything. That would be wrong to do that would say you don’t like anybody.

What does intolerance have to do with unfairness? (Minimum 5 sentences)
-It has a lot to do with it. You have to be persistent with keeping those boundaries. You can’t give in to any one person. They will try to trick you in to doing that. Just keep you’re eye open to possibilities.

Most people think fairness requires us to treat people equally.

What does it mean to treat people equally? (Minimum 4 sentences)
-It means to treat people the same as anyone else. Treat others the way you would want to be treated. Not picking the higher elite. Not picking on a lower learner.

Give examples of equal and unequal treatment. (Minimum 5 sentences)
-Equal treatment is treating someone the same as any one else. Suppose somebody gets in trouble for something. The same crime happened to someone else so the punishment should be the same. Unequal treatment is just the opposite. If you give a different punishment it is unfair.

Can you think of a situation in which it might be right to give someone a special advantage? (Minimum 4 sentences)
-Only if that person has a mental problem. If that person is unable to understand what they are doing. If that person is mentally challenged. You have to know when to give them a special advantage.

Are there ever good reasons to give unequal consequences for the same offense? (Minimum 3 sentences)
-No there is not. You should never give different punishment for the same crime. That shows unfairness to both of them.

Agree or disagree: It's an unfair world, and nothing I do is going to change that. It is an unfair world. I can change it in some ways. If I show others respect and fairness then they will probably do the same for me. I think everyone can change the world.

How do you know when something is unfair? If someone gets treated different that is unfair. I think everyone needs to be fair. If this happened there would be less arguments. One of the reasons for war is something happened that someone didn’t like.


What does treating people fairly mean? To treat someone fair is important. It is the golden rule. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It means don’t do something you wouldn’t want to be done to you.


Does fairness mean everyone gets the same amount, like an equal piece of a chocolate bar? Yes but not all the time. Sometimes being fair means treat equally. It means don’t put the small boxer against the biggest. It means don’t judge because someone is different. It means listen to everyones opinion.


Does fairness mean enforcing the rules for everyone, even if it means losing a game? If you are fair then you will enforce rules. It is not fair to cheat. It is only fair to follow rules. If you are fair to them they will be fair to you.


Is it possible to treat everyone fairly? It is possible. Being fair to everyone is how its supposed to be. If you are fair to them they will be fair to you . it means be nice to everyone so they will be nice to you.
