CHOICE 2: Social
justice is a growing concern as it relates to health, quality of life,
infant mortality, and life expectancy. There is growing concern that the
wealthy are getting wealthier at the expense of the poor, who are
getting poorer. Consider once again, the TED Talk from week 6 and the idea of inequality and application of the “Veil of Ignorance”
Answer this question: “Is the growing wealth divide ethical?”
