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"? Is it the same thing as equality? Who should decide what''s fair and what''s not fair?

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