Making Comparisons
Is it fair to compare an individual to a population of individuals? Why or why not?
Is it fair to compare two groups of individuals? Why or why not?
Is it fair to compare two different countries on differing levels of happiness for example? Why or why not?
(Hint: these are not all “unfair” otherwise we would not be able to make any comparisons, unless you believe that we should not make any comparisons. If this is so, please defend yourself).
