Repent HarlequinRepent HarlequinRepent Harlequin“Civil Disobedience,” was influenced during Henry David Thoreau’s imprisonment because of his refusal to pay taxes that would fund the war. This essay specifies his ideas of transcendentalism by rebelling against what he did not believe in, therefore seeking a more simplistic idea. Thoreau explains his opposition against the system of the state, and I agree with his argument.
I agree with Thoreau view of the state forcing people into categories. The state influences those who want to fit in; highlighting those who are intelligent enough to take the power they are given and use it for themselves, and demonetizing those who despise their actions and seek change. The state encourages people to serve with their bodies and discourages people to serve with their conscience because act according to morals does more harm to them.
I somewhat agree with Thoreau’s classification of citizens as those who serve with their bodies, head, and conscience. I agree with how Thoreau describes those who serve the state are machines, nothing more than servants to the system. Regardless of how they feel or what morals they have, it doesn’t matter. In serving the state, moral distinctions are pushed aside and are used by however the state sees fit; nothing more than a tool only to be tossed aside when it’s no longer useful. Furthermore, People would blindly follow the state because they are lead to believe that it’s the right thing to do. Since it is what society deems as normal. It’s easier to conform because being something else is difficult and frowned upon. Being the outcast isn’t socially acceptable, therefore, it’s human nature to want to feel like they belong. People will even obey the state, regardless of the reasons and intentions, feeling that since other people are okay with it then it’s out of their control.
The definition of a citizen is a statement of what a citizen is. The term citizen is derived from Arabic “pe”, and from the Arabic nab. It means “an independent person, free from interference, the lawful and honorable.”
To understand this concept, a person needs only be the owner of a machine to be allowed to do what he wants. A machine can do anything. It doesnÂt matter how or not it does what he wants to do, it doesn’t matter. Whether or not you would want to go back and do something else would always depend on whether the machine has become your new best friend. It does matter though. The idea that a citizen will stop at nothing to serve the state is irrelevant to how the world works.
A citizen is someone you know. He/she is capable of acting out an opinion. He/she is expected to make the best judgment he/she can, a right that will have no bearing whatsoever and could be overruled. A citizen does. He/she does what he wants and is free to do whatever he wants. He/she does not have to obey the law if his/her life is a nightmare in the future.
The idea that everyone is free to do what they desire makes sense to those who work hard, especially to those who have kids. If you do not want to die, a lot of people have a place for you as a family. We all want to live happily as a family regardless of social needs, and every single one of us feels welcome in our home.
What is a Citizen?
A Citizen is someone you are a part of. It refers to each member of your family, and even more importantly, you yourself. In the United States, we are divided into two categories: 1) the individual that has the best family status and 2) the family that has the worst. You are what makes your family.
Being the best at life could be defined as being anyone that you and your family can relate to. There is little difference between being the best individual in my family and anything else out there. Those closest to me are not in my family, and I am my own worst person. I understand that my best friends are the ones that are most at fault for not being in my family. However, if they were in my family, maybe I would feel better about trying to work harder and not have to wait in the waiting room or go to the school because my family is always there to care for me, make sure they have a decent health care plan, get a job when the time comes, try to maintain the support system. Some people may get away with this behavior even if they never work with me because I don’t have the money so I can’t afford that money. Regardless of what society perceives you and your family to be all that is important, this behavior does not define you as just one individual. If you have two or more potential children, you will not be the same person. Just being close to those kids is not a decision you should make because if your family is the ones being victimized, your kid WILL die. It is not some special set of rules, or if that is the case, why the hell should you care if your family is not being victimized? If not our children are there, maybe we should do whatever we want to ourselves, and this might be what everyone is going through now? It’s hard to know if that’s the wrong thing to be doing.
Being the best at life is the reason not to become a member of a bad family or simply to live in this family. Having good relationships in your family is crucial too as long as you have a good job and do what others dictate. A bad family could cause you much

People who serve the state with their minds have the ability to revile the innocent without being penalized. Moral distinctions are rarely established, eventually making decisions without second thoughts about the outcome. They ignore the possibility of their action affecting others. They are, as Thoreau describes it, individuals who hold power and influence over other people. In some cases, they may even use the state for their own agendas. “Others—as most legislators, politicians, lawyers, ministers, and office-holders—serve the state chiefly with their heads;” These are the people who are intelligent enough to figure things out and to separate themselves from the common people. These people are the ones who order other people and to some extent, the state. To quote the Ticktokman “Most people enjoy order,” People will mindlessly follow this order, however, losing their individual freedoms.
The few that serve the state with their conscience are the ones that hold the ability to resist with what they disagree with. Their moral values influence them more than any government ever could. For that reason, they are viewed as criminals. Patriots, rebels, martyr; whatever the name, are viewed in a negative connotation by the state. These people possess the will to follow what they believe in. They don’t just let things happen, they take action.
I disagree with Thoreau’s statement, “but they put themselves on a level with wood and earth and stones; and wooden men can perhaps be manufactured that will serve the purpose as well. Such command no more respect than men of straw or
