Fairness

Fairness is about believing all people have value and treating them justly based on principle. Kids high in this character strength treat others in just and caring ways, and are unbiased and objective when making decisions. They are inclusive, open to other ideas and opinions and treat others with respect.

Too little fairness can manifest as complacency or prejudice, while overuse of fairness can make one become detached, cold or indecisive. The books below explore fairness across different scopes, prompting discussion about opportunity, ownership, prejudice, intent and equality.
