Discuss why unequal access to basic services amount to social injustice , discuss 3 points
Pani-rosa [81]

We can discuss it from many different points. However, since in this question we have to look at this only from 3 aspects, let's look at the cases of education, health and social security. In all cases, if people don't have an equal access to these basic services, they will face with problems. If you cannot have a proper education, you cannot get a better job and it will create financial instability in the future. If you don't have an access to the healthy services in case of food, sanitation and water, you will easily have health problems. If you don't have a social security, burglars will steal your possessions easily.

Should Katniss have intervened when the girl was taken by the hovercraft? Why or why no?
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

Katniss should not intervene when the girl is taken. Think of it this way; if Katniss had intervened, would she have survived? Or would there have been more than one casualty? Acknowledging that the morally sound answer would be yes, we should consider the logical information that Katniss more than likely wouldn't have made it out of that situation in one piece. The capitol is very aggressive and would not hesitate to execute Katniss for rebelling.
