Socrates The Controversy

I think that Socrates was charged unfairly with the two crimes. I don't think that having a different mindset is a bad thing. If no one had different theories about life then we wouldn't have half the knowledge about the world that we do now. It would be a different if Socrates had a no followers or supporters but the trail was a close call. People loved him so much that they developed a way for him to escape the death he was sentenced to. Just because someone views their way of life different doesn't make them any better of a person than you are. I think that this lesson showed me that I need to be optimistic about the world and it's many mysteries. This class has also inspired me to read more books about history. I used to find them boring, but now its very intriguing.
