Fri. Sept. 18, 2015: Unit Introduction: Equity and Ethics

Today, we had a discussion about the questions in this unit that we will address:

·         1. Who and what is right?

·       2.   How does one attain empowerment?

·       3.   What is meant by degrees of responsibility?

·       4.   What is the balance between rights and responsibilities?

·      5.    What is the balance between justice and fairness?

TThe unit itself is about equity and ethics. The students were instructed to get into pairs and, using a dictionary, define these terms. From here, we brainstormed situations that might not be seen as equitable (fair).
