What Liz has to say about that

In response to the first question on whether or not I believe disobedience is justifiable, I would have to agree with many of my fellow classmates on this and say yes. I believe under certain circumstance it is. For instance, if the situation is a matter or life or death or trying to help your family survive then of course take the actions necessary do to so. If it is for self defense against someone trying to harm you or a loved then again yes, disobedience is defiantly justifiable. I know this example was used before, but I’ll use it again. In WWII, Nazis Soldiers were told to seek out all Jewish, torture and kill them regardless of anything. They was nothing these people had done wrong other then practice their own religious beliefs. The towns people in Germany were told not to hide or help any Jew who should come, that they would killed if found they had done so. But many saw how killing the innocent was wrong and housed the Jewish people anyway. This is a prime example that shows, given the right situation, disobedience is justifiable. I agree with many who wrote before me who stated that just because you are told to do or not to do something, doesn’t mean it is morally right for us to follow. It is up to one to decided that for one’s self and figure their actions based upon.
