Titanic only carried enough lifeboats for 1,178 peopleâslightly more than half of the number on board, and one third of her total capacity. After leaving Southampton on 10 April 1912, Titanic called at Cherbourg in France and Queenstown (now Cobh) in Ireland before heading west to New York. On 14 April 1912, four days into the crossing and about 375 miles (600 km) south of Newfoundland, she hit an iceberg at 11:40 p.m. ship's time.
A: The line fair is foul and foul is fair is from the play Macbeth by William Shakespeare, and it means that what appears to be beautiful is actually ugly, and vice versa. The play centers around themes of deception.
True fairness would be where everyone has the same, or there is an equitable system of balance, such as where those who work harder get more than those who are lazy. The problem is that, when thinking just of ourselves, my definition of fair and your definition of fair is likely to be different. Fairness tends to be more agreeable when we both look objectively at something and agree to apply the same rules. Shared rules of fairness (which often appear as values) help us live in peace together. What we often call unfair is not necessarily the opposite of fair, particularly when applied to ourselves.
