[17/08, 10:25] ATP: #QuestionWrong
[17/08, 10:32] RB: He messes it up at 1:57!
They didn't say anything because of their fear of his power and not because they were unaffected
It's a good video demonstration of the pitfalls of role playing!
If this role playing by the teacher to demonstrate the ethics of protest happened in real life, the students would have still kept quiet and as soon as the class was over they would have all gone and complained to the principal.
Expecting students to reflexly stand up to authority without any thoughtful assessment of the situation is bad teaching on part of the professor?
As it happens also in the video, the students turn out to be more thoughtful and intelligent as it eventually becomes clear that their Professor was simply role playing and if they actually reacted they would have been caught in an embarrassment once the professor revealed that he was role playing!
[17/08, 12:37] AyI: Anarchy is the suggested solution in this video.
While we can keep mulling over possible solutions with questions like what are laws for, and someone or the other says justice - the question we need to ask ourselves is "how is justice delivered"
Let's say in the case of this video, had the other students spoken up there were a few possible scenarios
1. No results... The students stage a walk out, and likely the class gets suspended, as otherwise the management of the institution would risk further incidents of insubordination
2. The student was allowed back in, at the risk of other real trouble mongers among the students getting emboldened as to the "power of the voice"
For the sake of simpler arguments, let's just say that the student was let back in.
Would that have been justice delivered?
What about the indignation she had suffered?
So the professor or whoever the man in the coat was, may have had to pay a penalty, suffer an official reprimand, or even get suspended.
Who would decide that quantum? The head of the institution?
Any action against the professor will most likely be seen as revenge, and principles of jurisprudence do not look nicely upon revenge. Justice as pointed out in the video is about revenge.
Laws are there to maintain law and order. Just like LLB is a degree of the law of laws, laws are there to maintain laws themselves. A self fulfilling prophecy.
There was an addition by juridical thinkers that order must be associated. But order is just that order.
Let me share a record from UK House of Lords, whose legal precedence we follow, and may be referred back to in matters of law in the common law dominions.
Disclaimer: Nothing in this message should be construed as connotated against the justice delivery system. We must always strive to put our utmost faith in the justice system
[17/08, 12:50] ATP: if German people had questioned, Hitler would have just been a painter. millions of jews would not have gone to Auschwitz
[17/08, 12:51] SB: Anarchy is never the answer. Can never be the answer. Should never be the answer.
[17/08, 15:24]AyI: Worth exploring these authors
[17/08, 15:25]AyI: If we are serious about addressing an issue... Let's address the issue, or stop giving ourselves thought candies!
[17/08, 16:25]AyI: Only the Sovereign is absolute. So says Thomas Hobbes
Which elements of the world's largest democracy represent the erstwhile monarchical sovereignty? Which among these is beyond correction by people or their representatives
