When we play football, there are instances when we are not treated fairly because of how our team has
occasionally been, therefore I believe those are the times in my life that I have encountered unfairness or
unjust procedures.

Brain and Heart Drill No.2

TASK 2: You need to refer to at least 1 educational link/reference that would talk about the concepts of
justice, fairness and respect for human rights. Take note of the important ideas or insights you learned
from the educational links. Write them down on MY NOTES so you will not forget them.

Title of the Video/Reference: Justice & Fairness Promoting the Common Good | Ethics
Link/Source/Reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dr3odf5T0eAv
MY NOTES:

 John Rawls is the author who published Theory of Justice in 1971 which
address the problem of distributive justice.
 Justice means, giving each person what he or she deserve.
 Fairness means, treating people equally.

Task 3: After viewing or referring to the video/link, complete the ff: phrases:
I think that: the only thing that will enable us to be decent citizens is justice and fairness, which must
constantly be a part of our daily lives.

I feel that: achieving justice and fairness in one's life is not simple. Because some people do not treat
other people fairly, many things do not have justice.

I have to: Teach the youth or anyone else that it is more important to have justice and equality
because this is the only thing that can fix ourselves at a time when we are the only ones who will
work together.
