No one can see or judge you. You could do whatever you want without fear of consequences—stealing, going anywhere, or doing anything you desire. But would you stay good, or would you turn evil?This episode explores the famous thought experiment from Plato's Republic. Are we good because we believe in morality, or because we fear punishment from society, law, or even a higher power? In this debate, we’ll discuss the reasons why some people might not change their behaviour, while others might act immorally if they could get away with it. What would you do if you had this power?Debates in English is a lesson series for upper intermediate to advanced-level English learners who are interested in politics, history, psychology, philosophy, and economics. In each episode, I'll introduce some useful vocabulary related to the topic before exploring both sides of the debate.
