Examples of unfair in a Sentence

1. Eric Ueland:

   The point the President has made repeatedly is that the process to date has been incredibly unfair.

2. Richard Nixon:

   No president in history has been more vilified or was more vilivied during the time he was President than Lincoln. Those who knew him, his secretaries, have written that he was deeply hurt by what was said about him and drawn about him, but on the other hand, Lincoln had the great strength of character never to display it, always able to stand tall and strong and firm no matter how harsh or unfair the criticism might be. These elements of greatness, of course, inspire us all today.

3. The Republicans:

4. Dan Malloy:

   The vote of every American citizen should count equally, yet under the current system, voters from sparsely populated states are awarded significantly more power than those from states like Connecticut, this is fundamentally unfair.

5. Jenny Radesky:

   Instead of focusing on questions the child may have about concrete things, ask them questions like' How do you think those people were feeling ? Do you know why they were angry ? What do you do when you feel like something is unfair ?' providing a controlled space to understand what is going on and ways to process it will help children navigate the distressing emotions, helplessness and fear they may be experiencing.
