Line 1: Line 1:
The feeling or emotion felt when a [[transaction]] is deemed to be agreeable and ultimately acceptable by all [[parties]]. To be considered '''fair''', a [[transaction|transactions]] must be seen to be conducted free of any [[coercion]] or [[exploitation]], [[institutional]] or otherwise.  [[w:Fair trade|fair trade]] is cross-border trade which satisfies this definition - to ''someone''s satisfaction.  Some claim '''fairness''' can be objectively and globally defined for all purposes by all members at least of human species - this is not a popular claim:
The feeling or emotion felt when a [[transaction]] is deemed to be agreeable by all [[parties]].


The concept of '''fair''' is variously defined but seems always to depend on what participants and observers individually feel is [[safe]] and [[done]].  There is a range of [[audit]] procedures one might apply to determine what is "[[not fair]]".  [[Faction]]s make it impossible to settle on one strict and global definition, so this is a '''''[[contested term]] - see [[glossary]] for other such contested terms.''''' 
These [[transaction|transactions]] must be conducted free of any [[coercion]] or [[exploitation]], [[institutional]] or otherwise

''''Fairness''' and an objective definition for it is out of scope of Consumerium, except insofar as our understanding of it is embodied in our choices about [[infrastructure]] (not everyone has access to all tools), [[privacy]] (especially [[identifying people]]), and especially in the [[glossary]] where we make important decisions about our [[ignorance]].
