Problem

The argument "justice is what is in the interest of the stronger" is not a new one. "Might makes right!"

Have you heard it before?

What do you think about this argument in terms of history and social conflict?

Can you give concrete examples where this argument has been used before?

EXPECTATIONS:

I'm sure you've heard people say "might makes right". Where? You may recount a personal argument you had with a spouse (not too personal please), a book you read on foreign policy, a passage from the musical Camelot (King Arthur makes a big deal out of this) or even simply recount an issue you've been thinking through on your own. Your call. In two pages just have some fun and write a bit about a real practical situation where you've heard this sort of argument made out, and upload it to coursenet by the end of this module.
