explain justice and fairness highlighting your experiences​

Answer:

Many public policy arguments focus on fairness. Is affirmative action fair? Are congressional districts drawn to be fair? Is our tax policy fair? Is our method for funding schools fair?

Arguments about justice or fairness have a long tradition in Western civilization. In fact, no idea in Western civilization has been more consistently linked to ethics and morality than the idea of justice. From the Republic, written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato, to A Theory of Justice, written by the late Harvard philosopher John Rawls, every major work on ethics has held that justice is part of the central core of morality.

Justice means giving each person what he or she deserves or, in more traditional terms, giving each person his or her due. Justice and fairness are closely related terms that are often today used interchangeably. There have, however, also been more distinct understandings of the two terms. While justice usually has been used with reference to a standard of rightness, fairness often has been used with regard to an ability to judge without reference to one's feelings or interests; fairness has also been used to refer to the ability to make judgments that are not overly general but that are concrete and specific to a particular case. In any case, a notion of being treated as one deserves is crucial to both justice and fairness.

When people differ over what they believe should be given, or when decisions have to be made about how benefits and burdens should be distributed among a group of people, questions of justice or fairness inevitably arise. In fact, most ethicists today hold the view that there would be no point of talking about justice or fairness if it were not for the conflicts of interest that are created when goods and services are scarce and people differ over who should get what. When such conflicts arise in our society, we need principles of justice that we can all accept as reasonable and fair standards for determining what people deserve.

But saying that justice is giving each person what he or she deserves does not take us very far. How do we determine what people deserve? What criteria and what principles should we use to determine what is due to this or that person?

Principles of Justice

The most fundamental principle of justice—one that has been widely accepted since it was first defined by Aristotle more than two thousand years ago—is the principle that "equals should be treated equally and unequals unequally." In its contemporary form, this principle is sometimes expressed as follows: "Individuals should be treated the same, unless they differ in ways that are relevant to the situation in which they are involved." For example, if Jack and Jill both do the same work, and there are no relevant differences between them or the work they are doing, then in justice they should be paid the same wages. And if Jack is paid more than Jill simply because he is a man, or because he is white, then we have an injustice—a form of discrimination—because race and sex are not relevant to normal work situations.

There are, however, many differences that we deem as justifiable criteria for treating people differently. For example, we think it is fair and just when a parent gives his own children more attention and care in his private affairs than he gives the children of others; we think it is fair when the person who is first in a line at a theater is given first choice of theater tickets; we think it is just when the government gives benefits to the needy that it does not provide to more affluent citizens; we think it is just when some who have done wrong are given punishments that are not meted out to others who have done nothing wrong; and we think it is fair when those who exert more efforts or who make a greater contribution to a project receive more benefits from the project than others. These criteria—need, desert, contribution, and effort—we acknowledge as justifying differential treatment, then, are numerous.

Read the source information below: “What is Sleepwalking?” by Matt Valerio



Sleepwalking is a sleep disorder that causes a person to get up and walk while still asleep, usually during the deepest states of sleep. While sleepwalking, a person does not often respond when someone asks a question or touches him or her. Though sometimes a sleepwalker will verbally respond, the response will make no sense. A sleepwalking episode can include the person just walking quietly around a room or demonstrating very agitated behavior and trying to “escape” the room.



Which claim is supported by the source above?


Some outside influences make a person more likely to sleepwalk.


If your mother was a sleepwalker, it is more likely that you will be, too.


When people are sleepwalking, they are not aware of their surroundings.


Going to bed at the same time every night can help some children not sleepwalk.

Read this excerpt from "One Flu over the Cuckoo's Nest.”

That year, scientists found that a very simple mutation in one gene could make a virus very easy to transmit. The groups also found many combinations of genes that could make the virus spread faster and cause it to be more lethal. Hualan says that health officials now know what genes to monitor to warn of a dangerous combination ready to spread throughout the world. She also says her work tells vaccine researchers what genes to target: "The important thing is that insights from such studies will benefit disease control and prevention."

The original controversy has not gone away. And unfortunately, scientists do not know how these lab-bred viruses compare to the way viruses act in communities. More research is needed to protect the public from worldwide outbreaks of bird flu, which could be devastating.

What best describes the key discovery of research in efforts to control diseases?

A.) Scientists found out which genes to monitor to find signs of danger.
B.) Scientists discovered a cure for all flu viruses.
C.) Scientists concluded that flu viruses easily transfer.
D.) Scientists still need to learn more in order to prevent epidemics.
