?Qu? es la equidad? (What Is Fairness?)

Fairness is an increasingly discussed issue in U.S. society today. With growing inequality around the world, a discussion of what is fair is vital to understanding democracy and the kind of culture we want to have. In this critical examination of what constitutes "fairness," students learn the difference between "fair" and "equal" and that sometimes what is fair is not always equal for everyone. While it may be true that "life isn't always fair," a more fair society makes for a healthier democracy.
