On Wednesday, we discussed about how moral laws were created to help the weak. I completely agree with that. If there was no moral law, there would nothing to stop the aristocrat from doing whatever they want. Growing up since a baby until our old age we are brought up to follow rules. If we are conditioned to follow the rules then we basically become really weak. We can not even stand up for what we believe in. One example that was given was recently the incident of Spring Valley High School. If you didn’t hear what happened, basically one student was being disruptive and did not want to leave the classroom. So the teacher called the police in an effort to remove her. When the police officer came, the student was still disobedient. That is when the police officer used extra force to remove her. The video shows how the officer was aggressive to a point where he slammed the student on the floor with the desk and dragged her out. The video went viral within a couple of hours. The police office and school went through an investigation. Now when you look at the video, one of the biggest thing you notice is how quiet and motionless the other students in the class is. They didn't not want to get involved. They just wanted to follow the rules and move on their days. That is one thing Nietzche was afraid of. people would be so conditioned to follow rules that they can not stand up for themselves even if they know it is wrong. Following the rules has made us weak. This is another point I completely agree with. Especially in this era, whatever the media shows us or tells us, we just agree with it. There are millions of issues that need our attention but we are too afraid to not follow the rules or do anything about it. We are too weak to do anything about it.
