Think about your participation in the bake sale.
(Our bake sale did not work out)
Think about what happened to your money after it was earned.
How did you feel when the money was distributed equally to the class?
I thought it was unfair because our group did not bring in food, but still got money.
Why did you feel that way?
Like I said, our group did not do anything, and still got money. I feel like it was unfair to the groups who did bring in food.
What might be the benefits to this system?
I think that the benefits might be that there is no fighting over fairness, because everyone gets an equal amount of money.
What might be the disadvantages?
Since everybody gets the same amount of money, it is unfair to those who do not work a lot to those who work every hour.
Think about the reading. Why have many countries moved away from communism?
I think many societies moved away from communism because they have realized that it is unfair to those who work hard and are still paid the same as those who work only a little bit.
