The apology of Socrates is quite a mystery; his defense is essentiality unbelievable by the average audience. A character so knowledgeable was like no other and can take someone time to truly understand his intelligence and spirt. As Socrates seeks the truth of the frequent lies told against him‚ he was determined to persuade the juries that the accusations presented were untruthful. I find it quite comical how sarcastic and knowledgeable he was to be put in the situation he was in. He was able to

What is piety and impiety? This broad question is exactly what Euthyphro and Socrates debate about the true meaning of these two words. When society hears the word piety‚ they think of worship for God or religious fulfillment of sacred obligations.

These possible imperfections are shown in the movie when the The Accused was very useful as a law-related learning tool because it gave examples of procedures in our legal system and even gave me a chance to see what a trial might be like in real life. I truly enjoyed watching this movie because Jodie Foster and Kelly

“A person is guilty of criminal solicitation if he commands‚ induces‚ entreats or otherwise persuades another person to commit a felony." In my opinion‚ this is what the general message of the movie was trying to get across. The second trial for the men who were encouraging the rape is the central matter of the film.
