Philosophy – Should Socrates have escaped from prison

Introduction to PhilosophyThe topic of the paper is Should Socrates have escaped from prison? 
 
This should be 3-5 pages long, and you should offer an argument.  Your paper will be judged on the argument you give, not on the position you take.
This paper can be used as a basis for a longer paper later on. For example, MLK says that Socrates committed civil disobedience.  Socrates would probably disagree.  What do you think?  You could use this first paper as part of a longer paper.  You will have my comments on this paper, so that may help you with the longer paper. 
(Note:  there are probably a thousand articles on this topic.  Dont read them.  At least, dont read them until you have turned in your paper. Actually, I would prefer if you left secondary material alone until you write your own argument based on your reading and understanding.)
