    Reasons For

    Reason for

      ?

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Prioritizing procedure risks entrenching historical inequalities; a fair market mechanism starting from unequal positions perpetuates injustice.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Claims about dignity through participation ring hollow to those harmed by procedures—actual outcomes, not procedural satisfaction, determine real justice.
