Starter #29
Make Rawls' "Veil of Ignorance" your own! Own this. Internalize it. Don't just be a parrot regurgitating word-for-word the definition!  

"But HOW, Ashley?!" You ask in an exasperated tone.

Well, dear students-- apply the Veil of Ignorance to your own life by answering these three prompts:
  •  What gifts/talents/resources were you born with or have access to that not all people in this world have?  
  • How do those gifts (or lack thereof), etc... make you biased when deciding what is or is not fair?  What would you need to "be ignorant" of if you were to step into the Veil of Ignorance to decide what is or is not fair?
  • How does doing this challenge some of your core beliefs on certain issues?  Think about taxes, abortion, scholarship opportunities, salaries for teachers v. salaries for doctors v salaries for celebrities, etc...
