The Unfairness Case

Nowadays, there are more and more complaints about the unfairness of the life----promotion opportunities, welfares, children's education, etc. As a result, they come up with a conclusion that life is unfair everywhere.

This argument can be true when we make lateral comparisons. However, when you see the vertical contrast of time, you will find that unfairness is being eliminated with the push of democracy

To start with, it is human nature to fell unfairness strongly when compared with other people. As to work opportunities, colored race is in a weaker position. We can see in a company, it is white people that occupy the advanced position while the colored people often engage in very basic activities, even though they are with higher potential to do the job. This kind of unfairness is due to the difference of social status. Since the country is in substance governed by a group of white people, it is of course that more privileges and opportunities will be given to the same race. What's more, the imbalance of interest allocation also reveals the matter of unfairness, especially in China in current years. In the past 30 years, the world has witnessed the stunning development of economy in china, as well as the broadening gap between rich and poor. Monopoly companies wrings unbelievable profits out of the market and do not obey the rule of fair interest allocation.

By and large, the unfairness is mainly due to those who have the vested interest being reluctant to share its profit with society.

Nevertheless, when looking backward and apply a vertical comparison, we can find that unfairness is not as striking as it used to be. We can see the success of civil right movement which enable colored race to have equal treatment and dignity. We can also see the achievement of WTO, the World Bank, removing the trading barrier and imbalance of development of economy. We can see government using taxation gearing to reallocate interest. By referring to the history and compare it to now, we are sure that, though unfairness still exists, the world is heading for a prospective direction.

In conclusion, the so called "fairness everywhere" is just like the word of equilibrium in economy, that it is the destination, but it can never be reached in reality. Unfairness exists in life and it will always exist. However, we are always on the way to eliminate it.
