Blog 8: Rawls
Rawls made some really good points throughout the text. In one paragraph Rawls stated,"Yet a society satisfying the principles of justice as fairness comes as close as asociety can to being a voluntary scheme,for it meets the principles which free and equal persons would assent to under circumstances that are fair. In this sense its members are autonomous and the obligations they recognize self-imposed (Rawls p.201)" I really agreed with Rawls statement about considering the minorities and the disadvantaged when making decisions. We have to think about how decisions affect those in our sorroundings.

It was very astute of you to point out the very important passage on minorities and their rights in society. Just be sure to elaborate more and get in those 250 words.
Your quote was great. It shows that if a system is fair, everyone will want to be a part of it. Only a fair system would appeal to people of all classes and in a fair system nobody will feel like their opinion doesn't matter. The only problem is finding out how to make a fair system.
