In your opinion, does injustice pay? Why or why not? What would Socrates and/or Thrasymachus say in response to your answer?
Injustice does not pay, because when unfairness happens and you feel cheated and then you don't feel motivated to do it. You feel like you are going to get cheated again, so why try. People give up on things because they feel cheated, but this affects society because society comes down. Socrates believes in justice, he does not feel injustice pays. He went against what other people said because he went around telling them what he felt was actually right and true. Injustice affects others. We live in a society where we have to cooperate, doing injustice to others will come back around.

Good points Martin. It sounds like you are saying that it does not pay if you don't have power - if you are the vicitim of injustice. Does injustice pay for the person who has power, or does that injustice come back to harm him some way.
