I am in the course of beginning philosophy and need to answer three questions. Each question needs to have 2 or more paragraphs.

1. What do Thrasymachus, Glaucon, and Adeimantus mean by injustice? Is injustice simply acting solely for ones own interests or something more (Republic, 343b-344c, 348b-e, 357a-367e)?

2. What is Plato’s attitude toward wealth and material prosperity (Republic, 341c-346d, 368e-373e,415d-423b)?

3. Plato gives three additional conceptions of justice in book IV of the republic.

Secondly explain how they casually support and or/ logically entail one another.
