JFK was into brinksmanship, or pushing to the edge of war, and hoping that the enemy backs down. He had thought that this as the only way to get the Soviets to back down. Soviet ships were moving closer to Cuba, but then the U.S.S.R leader, Khrushchev, ordered them to turn around.

In Ursula K Le Guins' story "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas" and "Why The Future Doesn't Need Us" by Bill Joy, both authors conclude that individual freedom endangers the safety and well being of society. Individual freedom demands individual responsibility if their society is to remain safe. This point is explored from different views in the respective works, and while Le Guin puts the power in the most underprivileged, Joy shows the destruction in the hands of the elite. Both agree that the end result of irresponsible freedom of individuals could lead to the destruction of society both physically and socially. "I do not know the rules and laws of their society, but I suspect that they are singularly few" (Le Guin, Ursula K. "The ones who walk away from Omelas").

Civil Disobedience is Thoreau’s way of not only implying, but putting directly forth his belief that, yes, in fact, one should disobey authority under certain circumstances; those circumstances subsisting for the better of society’s equality. The quote portrayed is informing that, if the law is requiring you to practice injusticeness and unfairness to another – due to
According to Dr. Edward Younkins, By legally requiring that people behave in certain ways not in their best interests in carrying out their professional tasks, regulation can distort firms' behavior and choices. By forcing the terms of exchange, regulation requires people to transfer value directly to other people.
