2. The Problem of Undeserved Suffering
Plato's Gorgias stands out as one of the earliest attempts to explain the problem of undeserved suffering. Plato argued that it is better to suffer injustice than to commit injustice. Use a philosophical theory to justify or refute his answer.
3. Defining Human Rights
Political theorists have developed the idea that there is some number of inalienable human rights. However, defining who can take advantage of those rights has not been an easy question to answer.
