I am attempting to look at the system of laws, ordinances, mores, and traditions that define, guide, and rule our conduct in society. If there is truly protection for freedom of conscience, then at what point or in what ways could the rules that govern us come in conflict with an individual’s conscience.

Through literature and the popular media, I have seen such things as ‘rugged individualism,’ ‘whistle blowing,’ etc. provided a place of honor. So, we apparently consider it noble for a person to take a stand against his group or society at large, as a matter of conscience. We respect the person no matter their status in society for taking conscientious stand. Huckleberry, won all our respect when he determined to accept an eternal Hell bound fate, rather than let down his friend, Jim, in an hour of need.
