Antigone#8

Civil disobedience is wrong.

Argue the validity of this statement. Remember to use logic and reason, not emotions.

I believe, civil disobedience has its ups and downs. If you believe in something you should stick by it through the end, even if it means being disobedient. Then again, the consequences you may be facing with sticking to what you believe in might be a serve punishment. Just like the one Antigone got from burying her brother, Polyneices. She believed that all dead persons should have a proper burial since that was the way of the gods. Antigone stuck through to her plan, even without the help of her sister, Ismene. Antigone was willing to take punishment for her civil disobedience from Creon's order. In the end, her brother, Polyneices, was buried, but she died fighting for what she believed in.
