Explanation:

Lex talionis means treating the criminals in the way the criminals treated the victims. In means giving the same sufferings to others as others have caused them suffering.

This principle is not plausible because according to Nathanson, it will make us to act in an immoral way with others. We cannot hijack the hijacker's plane because they did to us. We cannot spy on others because others are spying on us.

This is an instance of "cultural lag".

The phrase cultural lag alludes to the thought that culture takes time to catch up with mechanical developments and innovative revolutions taking place in a society, and that social issues and clashes are caused by this lag.
