After reading BOTH Thoreau’s On Civil Disobedience and Plato’s Crito…Write a 5+ paragraph paper answering ALL of the questions below (there are at least 5). It should also have a thesis and contextualization and all the things – the thesis should answer the first question.Questions to answer: What obligations does the individual citizen have to obey the laws of the state? Can there ever be a conflict between civil and moral law, and if so, to which does the individual owe his allegiance? How might Thoreau’s essay On Civil Disobedience be read as a response to the arguments Socrates gives in the Crito regarding our obligation to obey the laws of the state? What are the keys to civil disobedience? Can civil disobedience be an effective strategy for advancing social change today?
