 I think this passage discusses how political debate looks in a democracy. The tone of a politician plays a huge role in politics. In order for a politician to gain what he or she needs from the public , convict them based on how the politician expresses itself. That’s the reason why politicians are liars because they have to say what the population wants to hear. Unfortunately, the population will pay the consequences later on because the politician's goal was to gain what he or she needs from the public. Especially when it is about voting. Democratic politicians good at using tones of docile strategy.

 I agree with Socrates' idea. It is actually similar to a governor who ran for president in campaign. The governor usually talks about equal rights for the society even though he or she might not mean it. The governor uses the equal right from the constitution to convict the society as a way to get the majorities of the society to vote. That’s significant, lies that everyone must believe for our society to function is equal right. The equal right system could be used as a noble lie, just for the governor who ran for president could benefit voters that she or he needs from the society.

 Polemarchus says, “But I no longer know what I did mean. However, it is still my opinion that justice is helping friends and harming enemies” (page 11, second paragraph). I believe that Polemarchus doesn’t really know the meaning of justice. Justice is to be fair. That’s significant if Polemarchus has a friend who did something wrong to the enemies, so he supposes to have courage to let his friend know that he is guilty. That means justice doesn’t mean that Polemarchus is supposed to be good to his friend and harm the enemies. It’s all about having the conscious to judge right from wrong or wrong from right.
