The Republic by Plato
Pick a story conflict
Justice vs. Expediency
"Is it always better to be just, even if it leads to suffering or disadvantage, or are there situations where injustice is a more pragmatic or even justifiable choice?"
The Noble Lie
"Is it ever justifiable to lie to the populace, even if it's for their own good or the stability of society?"
The Role of Women
"Are men and women inherently different in their capabilities, justifying different roles in society, or are these differences primarily a result of social conditioning?"
Art and Imitation
"Does art bring us closer to truth and understanding, or does it merely offer a deceptive imitation of reality, distracting us from the pursuit of genuine knowledge?"
