Virtues: honesty, fairness and kindness, sentence 2

Fairness means no favourites; it does not always mean everyone gets the same: equality gives everyone the same, while equity gives each person what they need to have the same chance, like glasses for the child who cannot see the board.

Who acts: Fairness, it, everyone, equality, equity, favourites · What happens: mean, not mean, get, give, need, have · To what, where: favourites, same, everyone, person, same chance, board · Speech: someone speaks here
