With careful citations from Thoreau (he has a lot of argument in the text), discuss his position as it might apply to more recent situations. You may pick wars or some other issue of concern. If you are in agreement with Thoreau, how do you avoid advocating a lawless society that would be worse than what we've got? If you oppose him, how do you square this with our own American history which from Plymouth on has at times engaged in civil disobedience?
