Justice, Freedom & Equality

From Hammurabi’s Code to the Bill of Rights, people have enacted codes to protect “fairness.” But what is the definition of “fair” and does it mean the same as equality? Who should decide what’s fair and what’s not fair?

Some claim that to be safe, we must give up individual freedoms. Others argue that preserving freedom should be our highest priority. In this category, teachers can find texts to spark a student discussion about this timeless debate.
