You see this has to do with safety. Fairness is
a perspective that leads an event to be safe or
dangerous. Here's an example. In this culture we
have houses. If you don't have a house, then your
living in the streets. Before you live in the
streets, and are called a worthless, no effort lazy
bum, then you put effort into getting a house. You'll
work for years and years to keep a house. In fact,
most people go into debt and pay interest (thus extra
$) to have a house. This is social pressure.
Remember how Amerindians were moved onto reservations
into houses. This is the U.S. and any decent U.S.
citizen must have a house. Now, in this culture if
you are not able to keep a house or rent from an
apartment, then the pressure's on. Major social
pressure. Who said we have to live in a house? How
about a tent, box, cave, etc... To not have a house,
or to foresee one losing their own house, I believe
fear and/or despair would arise. Would you differ
from this conclusion? Let's start with this first and
then move on in our discussion if you would.

As to religion being part of the program, where I
work the residents can go to church on Sunday
(Presbyterian) or stay back on the unit and do a
value's clarification (non-religious) or some other
religious activity. Also, Bible study is once a week,
if the residents want to go. Bible study on the unit
I work is during gym time.
