Fairness and Equity

Fairness refers to treating people in a way that is just and impartial, ensuring no one is unjustly favored or disadvantaged. Equity involves recognizing and addressing different needs or circumstances to provide everyone with the appropriate resources or opportunities to succeed. While fairness focuses on equal treatment, equity emphasizes fairness in outcomes by taking individual differences into account. Together, they aim to create a more just society where all individuals have a fair chance to thrive, acknowledging that different situations may require tailored approaches to achieve true justice.
