adapted excerpt from On the Duty of
Civil Disobedience
by Henry David Thoreau
Thoreau wrote this influential essay in 1849
because he was disgusted with the US
government's refusal to end slavery and with its
participation in the Mexican-American War.
The practical reason why a majority are
permitted to rule is not because they are most
likely to be in the right, but because they are
physically the strongest. Can there not be a
government in which the majorities do not
decide right and wrong, but conscience?- in
which majorities decide only those questions to
which the rule of expediency is applicable'? Why
has every man a conscience, then? It is not
desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so

Read this excerpt from "herd about the flu." the flu shot prevent huge numbers of infections. even when it doesn't fully prevent infection in every person, the shot makes any flu infection less serious. on a global scale, the vaccine can reduce the number of infections only if most people in the community take it. that's because vaccines need to reach enough people to achieve a "herd immunity," the level of immunity needed to prevent the virus from spreading. if too few people get the vaccine, the people who receive it may not be well protected against infection. so the next time you are at the drugstore, and you see no flu shots available, think about the reasons behind it. drug makers are scared to make too many flu shots because they could lose too much money. they then make fewer flu shots and the effect of the flu shots becomes weaker because not enough people take it. people become more reluctant to take the flu shot since they don't think it will fully work. the demand goes down further and the flu companies make even fewer shots the next year. this could continue until the community changes its mind and we all get the flu shot. "that is a community responsibility," says the president of merck, one of the two remaining flu vaccine manufacturers. which argument best supports the passage's claim that more people should get the flu vaccine to stop the virus from spreading? 1.if too few people get the vaccine, the people who receive it may not be well protected against infection 2. so the next time you are at the drugstore, and you see no flu shots available, think about the reasons behind it. 3.people become more reluctant to take the flu shot since they don’t think it will fully work. 4.drug makers are scared to make too many flu shots because they could lose too much money.
