Answer:  

The author means that when people with power attempt to be fair they will be torn between two groups the people (critics) who feel that their choice is incorrect and the ones who feel that it is correct due to the situation. So kind of like the subject of bringing beheading back in the US many feel it is a horrible idea but many also feel it is correct. And for the second one, I am not sure because I have not read your article only the seventh paragraph.

According to the author, we shouldn't justify our own inertia by constantly claiming that life is unfair. People are not born in equal circumstances, but they have equal chances to make the best of their circumstances. Leaders, more than any other people, shouldn't fall prey to such vague concepts as fairness. Many things aren't fair, and that is true. Then again, many fair things wouldn't be the right things to do. Leaders should choose what is right over what is presumably fair. By pursuing "fairness", we are fooling ourselves, and providing an excuse for complaining instead of acting.

How does a writer effectively express an idea about a topic?
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The topic sentence expresses the main idea of the paragraph combined with the writer’s attitude or opinion about the topic. Good topic sentences contain both a main idea and a controlling idea, are clear and easy to follow, use engaging vocabulary, and provide an accurate indication of what will follow in the rest of the paragraph.
