Introduction

Thoreau’s civil disobedience emerges from Thoreau’s refusal to pay church tax claiming that the church has no right to impose tax. His reasoning is that if all institutions were to present their tax bills to the government, then he would be bound to pay his; but, there is no justification for “taxing the schoolmaster to support the priest” (Thoreau 49).

While America may not always live up to the standards Atticus Finch himself sets, he represents a set of ideals that America hopes to strive towards, including equality, fairness and standing up ...

In other words, those who enjoy the many positive aspects of the society in the city of Omelas do not have the choice of questioning this single act of barbarity; neither does the child have any choice but to endure the confinement in pitiable conditions. Those who cannot put up with this, those who do ...

The most relevant theory is social learning theory by Albert Bandura.
