FAIRNESS

Color:  orange – think of dividing an orange into equal sections to share fairly with friends

Nothing makes people bristle like injustice, but often it’s difficult to know what’s fair and what isn’t, or what to do when faced with injustice. Fairness means living by the golden rule, doing what it takes to be a fair and just person, and realizing how much our personal actions do matter.

Justice

DO:  Be fair and just • Treat people equally • Make decisions without favoritism or prejudice• In imposing punishment be sure the consequences for wrongdoing are consistent, certain and proportional (not too harsh or lenient)

DON’T:  Take more than your fair share • Take advantage of or blame others unfairly

Openness

DO:  Be open-minded and impartial — consider what people have to say before you decide• Be careful — get the facts, including opposing view points, before making decisions (especially blaming or accusing another)
