Fair can have two meanings, one being justice and the other equal. An equal society is exactly what is sounds like when everyone is equal in everything from rights to money to clothes. A just society is one where everyone gets what they deserve. If you work hard you get money. If you have good habits you will be healthy.
To me an equal society kinds of sounds like socialism but I think that I would prefer to live in a society where everyone is equal. I think however that we live in a more just society than a fair one. So many people are not equal but just as many do not get what they deserve.
What do you think? Do we live in a fair society? Is it more just, equal or something else entirely?
Thanks for the thoughts!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this, in my opinion, fairness and equality is synonymous. We are living a fair life-- every body gets the pay for the work rendered. But there are times society is not fair at all. Simply because some takes advantage of other peoples weakness and social status. Government funds are not distributed based on the need of a state. Wealthy states are given much fund, whereas poor states get low allocations. Not fair.
