This assignment consists of a single short essay question. The main intent of this question is to ensure that you have a sound grasp of the fundamentals of the material presented in this unit. Im not so concerned with whether you agree with a particular author or not. The quality of your answer is based on your exposition of the competing positions, your comparative analysis of those positions, and, lastly, your argument in support of the position you defend.
the short essay question is not designed to be a research question. There is no requirement to get material from external sources such as other authors, or reference websites, who have summarized or criticized, the authors you are dealing with. In effect, including such material defeats your purpose in completing your essay because you are essentially telling me what some other person thought about the material you should be explaining and assessing. If you make reference to sources external to the course readings it will be de

In the Apology and the Crito, is Socrates saying one should always obey the state no matter what? What argument is he making in the Crito by having the law speak rather than saying those words himself? How does what the law says connect with with what Socrates says about obedience to the state and conscience in the Apology? How does it connect with his own life and actions? When should one obey the state? How would Henry David Thoreau, who refused to pay his taxes because they would be used in part to support slavery and who briefly went to jail for his choice, answer Socrates? Would he urge Socrates to escape or to stay in jail? Do you agree with either or both of these thinkers on when a person should obey the state? Why or why not? Illustrate your answer with arguments from the Apology, the Crito, and Civil Disobedience.
Case Four: Gone Today, Here Tomorrow
In Jurassic Park-like fashion, scientists have been attempting to bring recently-
extincted species back from the dead, so to speak. The 5 April 2013 journal Science
reported that the first live product of de-extinction, a Pyrenean ibex, lasted only a
few minutes before extincting again. The ibex, which was produced by a process
similar to that used for Dolly, the infamous cloned sheep, was driven to extinction in
the first place with the help of humans. Some scientists think it only fitting that
humans play a part in the de-extinction of those species that we helped to extinct in
the first place.
An environmental argument for de-extinction arises from the case of the wooly
mammoth, a species whose de-extinction would likely have beneficial
consequences, such as the restoration of a more diverse ecology in the Arctic.
Unfortunately for dinosaur enthusiasts, species of dinosaurs are not contenders for
