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!

Altogether society is not fair and there are countless examples of this throughout society. However in 2017 we do live in the fairest of times especially if you look backwards. Not saying this is ideal but we have made many strides and I think in the next 50 years or so we will continue doing so until eventually equality is all but eliminated from Earth.
