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!

Why could everyone ever be equal if people are born different? Even if all people were equal some would still be more equal than others. I don't think that we live in a fair society either. That's because there is a lot of chance in everyone's life, so there is no way it could be fair, just, or anything to that tune. Some dudes are just more lucky than the rest of the pack, and let me guess this is not what fair means.
