Document Summary
Fair and unfair advantages building on potential. Certain people have more potential than others. At what point though does it become cheating when you are trying to increase your potential. E. g. you want a good job, so you go to university. So, you are in school and you get 90% average. But do you need nothing else: need other experiences, volunteering, working in labs. But lots of people cannot afford to for example go to a third world country to volunteer. So is that an unfair advantage that some students cannot afford to do those things putting them at an unfair advantage. So then with sports: if you want to be an athlete. You need resources coaches, training, summer sports camps, eat all the best foods. All that involves a lot of money to get to the top of the competitive sports.
