    Protests occupy the cities as the free citizens of America raise a cry against an institution they deem unjust. But whether or not people are content with this year's election, everyone can agree that "it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish [the law]" if they have concluded that their will is no longer being executed by said law. A society cannot be free if it is not allowed to conduct peaceful resistance, and Oscar Wilde's argument that civil disobedience breeds progress is valid, along with Thoreau's stance that it is essential to society, as are the subsequent consequences. "It is through disobedience that progress has been made", and how free societies have been created and maintained (Oscar Wilde). Many of the sovereign nations that are instituted today originated from disobedience that developed into a revolution and a country.…

Personal responsibilities can vary greatly from person to person; some learn responsibility at a young age by doing chores or younger siblings while others never learn to take responsibilities for themselves or their actions. Then, expectations can be what individuals expect from themselves or what others around them expect them to do. However, I believe the four main concepts that shape a person’s direction of life are common sense, new environments,…

    “If a man can only obey and not disobey, he is a slave; if he can only disobey and not obey, he is a rebel” (Fromm 125). Obedience is a trait that parents instill in children to keep them safe and out of trouble. Throughout life, people realize obedience is not always the answer; however, ruling out obeying as a whole is counterproductive. In “Disobedience as a Psychological and Moral Problem”, Erich Fromm claims people fear authority, yet wish to climb the ladder to reach maximum power. In contrast, “The Stanford Prison Experiment” by Philip G. Zimbardo depicts individuals who are in charge of others, however, hate the ease in which individuals shove their morals aside.…
