3) principle of justice(fairness): treating others fairly/justly in distributing goodness (benefits) and badness (burdens)
- -procedural justice deals w/ whether or not fair procedures were in place and if they were followed
- -distributive justice deals w/ allocation of resources

4) truth telling (honesty)
5) individual freedom (equality principle or princlpe of autonomy) : ppl must have the freedom to choose thier own ways and means of being moral w/in the framework of the other four basic principles; respect others for who they are and their choices
