What Makes a Society 'Fair' or 'Unfair'?

Fairness is when everyone gets the same chances. Imagine a race where all runners start at the same line, that’s fair. But if some get a head start, that’s unfair. In society, fairness means people should have equal opportunities to succeed, even if they don’t end up with exactly the same things.
