The Lilac Fairy

Room 9 just took part in a fantastic thought provoking philosophical discussion.
Students were told that the 'Lilac Fairy' would grant them a wish between two gifts -

Wealth OR Friendship

Intelligence OR Courage

Security OR Fame

Check out the photo's to see some of the insightful justifications room 9 came up with...




Now it's time to decide on one more gift...

Freedom OR Fairness?

Please write on the blog in response to this provocation. Which one would you pick and why?

I would chose fairness because it is nicer to be fair with games and life than have lots of freedom

FREEDOM ! If you are not fighting for your own freedom you are not even being fair to yourself.How can one be fair to another if he or she is not free ?

I would say fairness, because then everyone is equal, none gets extra privileges and you will be punished justly if you do wrong.

I would want to have fairness because then everyone would be the same and they would be fair.

I would choose fairness because it would mean everyone gets equal rights and everyone would be treated equally. and that would mean in a way you feel free from being mistreated if everything is fair
