treating people equitably, without bias or partiality. It means
actively working to set aside self interest or group loyalty
when rendering a judgment. In day to day life, fairness
manifests itself in simple ways such as taking turns, listening
intently, sharing, and not taking advantage of others based on
their weaknesses.  Impartiality is a key part of fairness. Being
impartial doesn’t mean having no biases—rather it means knowing
what those biases are, striving to set them aside, and
requesting outside perspectives as needed.  While inspired by
the ideal of justice, fairness is not sameness or always
following the letter of the law. Fairness makes room for us to
generate solutions and compromises based on reason and
circumstance.
