What would be the counterargument to this assertion? 2. The author believes that the concept of “fairness” is not a useful term, and that it makes people feel entitled to good outcomes. Make an argument for the opposite—how would you convince someone that the concept of “fairness” is an important one. 3. Where do you fall in the “life isn’t fair, deal with it” debate? Is this a good or bad way of thinking about your life? Explain your answer.
