First and foremost, let me ask you all something. What is Punishment? Well the answer is simple. Punishment is the act of giving a sentence on someone as a result of their wrongdoing. “Punishment has always played an important part in the idea of justice.

Through the so-called allegory of the cave (514a-520e), a form of justice is implied which revolves around defining that what is best for the whole as that what is most just.

The implications of these definitions, however, bring about some subtle differences in the definitions themselves. Once they
