My professor read my paper and made the following comments. Please follow accordingly. Thank you!
Some things to think about:
1) I pitched the Socrates of the Crito as offering a social contract theory of the legitimacy of political power, so include that line of attack on civil disobedience--why? (I will spell it out more below, after these specific comments) If we are not to live in a 'state of nature', we must consent to be governed as so avoid, by having laws, everyone running around following their own moral judgement in areas where people of good will disagree. Chaos or Consent--that's the social contract theory..
2) Those who object to a law that appears to them unjust shouldn't just leave (Socrates argues that, being promise breakers, no other society would accept them) you say, as they are obliged to help the fellows. This seems true, although on those grounds perhaps they should organize their fellows and secede to create their

Discussion: Plato and Philosophy
Recent history has shown that the United States certainly has the power (i.e., the "might") to go into any number of countries and stop human rights abuses, which are occurring in those countries. But having that ability begs the question of how far should the United States go in that role. Are we the world policeman? Are we the worlds peacekeeper? While the United States has unparalleled military power, should we engage without limits?
Based on your readings so far, and thinking about what Plato says in his dialogue with Thrasymachus, discuss the issue of when the ability to do something (the is) becomes the right thing to do (or the ought). It often helps to think in comparative terms. Think about an example that seems to be similar and use it to explain your points.
Discussion: Aristotle
Imagine you are walking down a dark street one night and suddenly someone jumps out in front of you. He is brandishing a pistol and

Video: (200 words is fine for this part of assignment)
In this video, Michael Sandel, an American political philosopher, discusses consequentialist (utilitarianism is the prime example of consequentialism) and categorical (deontology and rights-based ethics are the prime examples of categorical approaches) approaches to several famous hypothetical moral dilemmas involving trollies and organ transplants. Watch from the beginning to the 24:10 mark when the first half of the video concludes. How would you respond to one of the famous thought experiments presented by Sandel, and more importantly, why?
Use the questions I pose in the description of the video along with the major points the speaker made to guide the discussion. Connecting points made by
