Write a dialogue updating the Crito. Suppose a young person is about to be drafted into a war he or she opposes as unwise and unjust. There are three
options: going to war, going to jail, or fleeing the country. A friend comes to this person and argues for fleeing to Canada or Sweden. The young draftee is like
Socrates, the friend like Crito. They debate the issue. Both conflicts (the young draftee’s and Socrates’) involve a collision between duty to the law or state
and the values of personal ethics or family welfare. How would the debate go? What would the Socratic draftee do, and why?
