My spoken contributions today (bullets, fragments, keywords)Helping Hands Today (up to 3) – Name & Briefly Describe Contribution to Class (bullets, fragments, keywords)

















-Anna: definition of justice
-Sinead: collective vs. individual, inequality is inevitable
-Cripps: social contract theory, society as a cooperative arrangement 

Today’s class discussion altered my thoughts about today’s text(s) in the following ways (link to your QCQ and/or to other ideas):

I did not give many contributions in today’s class discussion because I used a freebie on my QCQ. I was interested in everything my classmates had to say today, it really helped me gain a better understanding of the reading. Anna’s comment about how everyone’s opinion of justice could be different really interested me, I extremely agree. Everyone has different opinions and worldviews. My definition of justice could be different from everyone else in the world. Professor Cripps mentioned the social contract theory which really intrigued me and got me thinking because I had never heard of it before. If we had to create a new society, how do we decide the rules and what is just/unjust? I also agree with Sinead about how inequality is inevitable. Everybody is different, everybody is always going to recognize differences which could potentially lead to inequality. Not everyone is going to recognize differences as a good thing, a lot of people view differences as a bad thing.
