Censorship In Plato's The Republic

In Book III of The Republic, Plato addresses the basic principles of education and the role of censorship in a just nation. He begins by compiling that education should consist of music, and poetry for the rational part of the soul, and physical education for the spirited part of the soul. Both together generate a harmony in the soul which is, the ultimate goal of education. Plato then states that education in music and poetry begins before the physical training.

For example a quote that has been said in my generation is “A good girl is a bad girl who doesn’t get caught.” Just because you didn’t get caught doesn’t make you any less bad, what would make someone good is resisting the desire to do bad and strengthening their will power.

I agree because once someone finds out they have been lied to they begin questioning everything that relates to the lie. This also tells children that it is okay to lie and deceive, I mean if it’s okay for gods to do it, why not
