Conscientious Objection

What is "conscientious objection"?In what ways does Antigone demonstrate conscientious objection?In your opinion, did she do the right thing? Explain your view in terms of how 21st Century citizens might view her actions.

Conscientious Objection is when someone refuses to do anything that is based on a law, and they do what they think is right based on their religous beliefs and their morals. In the book Antigone, Antigone shows this by not obeying the rule that Creon has made. Anitgone refuses that her brother get eaten by birds and not get a proper burial, even though he did try to destroy Thebes. She didn't think it was fair that her other brother got a proper burial and her one didn't. She knew that these were her brothers and they had to go down in the earth the right way, knowing that she would most likey get killed but she didn't care. She would rather get killed and get off of the earth than see her brother get eaten by birds.
I believe that she did the right thing. If my brothers died i would definitly want them to have a proper burial and to have their bodies in peace. Antigone stood up for what she believed in, knowing that she could get killed. That was a very strong thing for her to do, and it shows the love she has for her brothers and family. In todays society everyone gets a proper burial and a funeral. It doesn't matter who you are or what you did. Its the right thing to do. Thats all the Antigone wanted. Is to have her brother in peace and not to have his body set to rot and ate by birds. So I think that Antigone did the right thing because I know that is what I would do and probably what anyone else would do if they were in that situation.
