## Equality Equity, and Reciprocity: The Three Pillars of Social Justice

In his 2011 book, *The Fair Society: The Science of Human Nature and the Pursuit of Social Justice*, Peter Corning proposed a vision of social justice based on three biologically-grounded fairness principles. Corning believes that these principles must be combined and balanced in order to achieve a society that is fair to everyone. According to Corning, the three fairness principles are equality, equity, and reciprocity.  They are derived from the emerging, multi-disciplinary science of human nature and the mounting evidence that a sense of fairness is an evolved and distinctively human behavioral trait.\[1]

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://documentation.specollective.org/knowledge-base/diversity-equity-and-inclusion/cultural-studies/resources.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
