2)With what you know about proportion look and read what is in the image above. Does it seem fair? Why have you made this choice? -No I do not think this is fair because the first man got put in jail for 3 years for stealing 3 BILLION DOLLARS! and the homeless man got put in jail for 15 years for stealing only 100 dollars.
