In Plato’s‚ Crito‚ Socrates refuses exile from jail because it would have been wrong for him to leave. He believes in justice and escaping would have been an injustice.

In my recent interview with my fellow education major Daniela Guzman‚ we discussed many different topics including the factors that lead us to deciding to go into the teaching profession.

He made three central claims about justice: Justice is nothing but the advantage of the stronger. Justice is obedience to laws. Justice is nothing but the advantage of another.
