After reading the play "Enemy of the People", I understood Dr.
I think that he isn't really concerned with sibling rivalry. .
The mayor, his brother, seems like he is the one concerned with sibling rivalry. .
He seems like he has something to prove to everyone. I think that Dr. Stockman .
doesn't have a duty to obey his brother, the mayor. Dr. Stockman knows that .
there is something wrong with the water. He knows about the microorganisms in the.
water. He knows that if he tells the people that the microorganisms are in the water, .
it will probably save their lives. He has the right idea in that perspective. .
Dr. Stockman's integrity is very important to him as well. His integrity as a .
scientist does supersede his official duty because without your integrity you are .
nothing. What you believe in should be the most important thing to you. Many people.
believe that you have to follow the rules and listen to authority all the time even you .
don't believe in it. You are not going to be happy in the end, it will make things worse.
for you and everyone else if you listen to authority. The mayor wants Dr. Stockman to.
listen to him, but Dr. Stockman knows he is right, because he is a scientist, a.
professional in this situation. .
.
I do not think that Dr. Stockman's integrity should supersede with his family.
because he could always move and get another job. He is obviously concerned .
about his family because why would he ever pursue the water quality issue if he .
didn't care about their health and safety? He knows that he is probably going to .
risk and sacrifice a lot for what he believes in, but it shouldn't matter. I always believe .
that what you think is right is the most important thing and I believe that Dr. Stockman.
feels the same way. .
Dr. Stockman's knowledge of science, in this case, I think does give him .
somewhat of a right to govern. Dr. Stockman obviously does know what he is talking .
about. In this case, he is concerned for the town.
