Unfairness lies in treating people in a way that they “do not deserve”. Fairness is an interesting challenge when working in different cultures in that local understandings of fairness differ. Every society has clear notions of what is fair and unfair. Every society has rules and norms that everyone understands as fair (and unfair). Breaking those rules demonstrates disrespect both for people and for their society.

Showing that we think one group is superior to another, we humiliate people.

Unfairness through Ignoring the Rules

Through discounting the rules, we send messages of contempt for communal processes.
