In the trial of Socrates‚ I juror number 307‚ Ryan Callahan vote the defendant is Not Guilty on the first charge of Corrupting the youth. My justifications for this vote are as follows. Socrates didn ’t corrupt the youth‚ he just shared his ideas with them and they in turn chose the path to take these ideas. Part of understanding this case is understand the time in which the case was held. This time being 399 B.C.‚ a time in which Athens was a free democratic city‚ a town which prided itself

life‚ I have concluded that it would not be appropriate for Jonas’ community to be allowed to make their own choices. I believe this because of many reasons. Firstly‚ no one in Jonas’ community but the Receiver of Memory and his successor have memories of the past. Giving the people choice would only cause them to repeat sorrowful mistakes‚ since they do not know any better. The Giver says so himself when he recalls the experience of when the citizens demanded an increase of birth rate. It was one of

My inspiration for Make the Right Decisions Early arose from observing the thousands of students who graduate from college each year. Many of them leave college with as little idea what to do with their professional lives than when they first set foot on campus four years earlier. The university system continues to present itself as a means for someone to enter the working world and succeed. Yet it fails to specifically define the role that it actually plays. While college presents itself as a guide

Essay Mrs. Pittman November 18‚ 2013 Abortion: The Right Choice Due to unwanted pregnancies and financial distress‚ many children are often mistreated and neglected which leads to the idea of abortion as the right decision. Mistreatment and neglect to the child may occur from the mother because the child resembles his or her father‚ which will be a continuous reminder of what happened (Meehan‚ Mary 1). It is also not right for a woman to have to go through full-term pregnancy with a

1. The similarity between the two lie in their belief to fight an unjust law through persuasion and to do so in a peaceful way. He also claims “In any nonviolent campaign there are four basic steps: collection of the facts to determine whether injustices are alive‚ negotiation‚ self-purification and direct action‚” and Socrates does participate in the several of these actions to further his point. They both agree that in cases of unjust law‚ they should fight it (despite that one was willing to

The Greatness of Socrates Socrates was born in Athens‚ Greece 322-399 before the Christian era and was politically indoctrinated under the cultural influences of Athena‚ Goddess of wisdom‚ skills‚ and warfare. (Loomis p. 5) He is well known for his philosophy of the “good life” in which he believes involves the pursuit of intellect as well as morals. His theory in this is to not focus so much on choosing what is always necessarily right in a situation‚ but to be the kind of individual who refrains

Topic: Are people’s lives the result of the choices they make? “Our destiny is not written for us‚ but by us” – I still remember this legendary catchphrase used in Barack Obama’s presidential campaign in 2008‚ a period of time in which America was left in a debris of terrorism and economic crisis after Bush’s regime. The catchphrase eased Obama’s way to the Oval Office; it won the heart of Americans by urging them to firmly believe in an undisputed truth about how people’s lives are in their total

To say that a man is defined by what he does in his life is an understatement when you think of two of the greatest philosophers ever. Each man was very respected while they were living but when you have hundreds or thousands of people still talking about you after your death there is something very special to say about that. Socrates and Rene Descartes spent their life looking for the truth. They looked for the perfect answer to every question because both of them wanted the answers no one could

Like many philosophers‚ Socrates has been able to mold and enlighten his students and people well past his time. One of his most famous quotes‚ “I only know that I know nothing‚” Never fails to capture attention. As simple as the words are it never failed to spark a conversation that exceeds expectations. Origin: • Where did the universe come from? Where did life/humanity come from? • Socrates does not clearly state an answer for Origin. I do find that his Theory of Recollection to contain
