Question

1-     Do you agree with Glaucon that most people would do whatever they could get away with if they had the power to be invisible?

Answer 1

I agree with Glaucon’s statement that that most people would do whatever they could get away with if they had the power to be invisible. In the absence of a justice system people would do whatever they want and it’s the law that makes people just. Many people in this world behave well because there is a law which will punish them and that they couldn’t hide anywhere after committing that crime. From the time of Glaucon till today, people are same. They obey the law because it would help them live a peaceful life. Human beings still carry the animal instinct, so given the power to be invisible or not caught by the law will bring more chaos and struggle in the earth.
