Socrates Vs King Socrates Vs King In the two reading assignments that were assigned each of the characters argue whether breaking the law is just or unjust. The characters namely being, Socrates and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., both have different outlooks on the authorities, and the laws in which they must abide by. Both stories are taken from an earlier date in which Socrates and Dr. King were placed in prison after breaking the law. I think that Dr. King and Socrates have completely different outlooks on weather it’s right to intentionally break the law. I think that the argument between Dr. King and Socrates is very apparent that they disagree on weather a person should intentionally break the law. Socrates being a firm believer in what is just and unjust supports his position that escaping from prison and fleeing in exile to an adjacent city would be unjust because by him doing this would result in breaking the commitments that he has agreed upon by the courts after he was found guilty. Socrates knowingly argues with his friend Crito, because Crito knows that he will loose a friend if Socrates is put to death.
