Justice, or just following orders?
It seems to me that socrates's definition of justice doesn't seem fit. It seems as if what he thinks is justice is only following orders. He says that true justice is when you do your job right essentially is when you have justice in the soul. But what if your job is one of a negative nature, or you are told to do something by the great leaders that is bad, or seen as negative. Is that really true justice, or just following orders?

Well first off Mr. Anderson would the so called "great leaders" even ask someone in the city to do a negative job? I mean the "great leaders" are suppose to be looking out for the city and if it is a somewhat bad job I am sure the leaders won't make it seem bad and will call the job by a different name in order to make sure everything is justice and stays justice. I think you are on the right track asking this question, however, if you were to ask Socrates this question I am sure or I think that he would respond in a similar way as I have put it. That he will just cover it up with the "great leaders" making up some excuse or story to make it justice because to be a justice city socrates has to be in control or someone has to be in control of it and what happens in the city for it to stay just. I hope this helps.
