“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…
Imagine a time where children didn’t matter, and they were just seen as a nuisance with no purpose. Before the 1700s, in the medieval times, children were seen as miniature adults, to eventually grow up and help out their parents (Ansell, 2005, p.9).

(Introducing Ethics, p. 601). In theory this makes sense, but the problem I have with this argument is that a lot of criminals don’t think about the consequences, but rather on the mental/physical high or the payout. Bedau continues to advocate against corporal punishment by stating, “If, however, severe punishment can deter crime, then long-term imprisonment is severe enough to deter any rational person from committing a violent crime” (Introducing Ethics, p. 602). This, like the earlier…

The statute law is sometimes violated and plots made against the sovereign, when the crime is brought to light the offender is imprisoned for life, he does not suffer any corporal punishment, but alive and dead, he is not treated as the member of the community (lit, as a man).
