Apology

In the Apology Socrates was being charge with corrupting the young and did not believe in God of the city. Socrates says that Meletus doesn't really care about the things he is accusing Socrates of. Socrates then makes the statement of how can one person corrupt yet many others approve Socrates then makes ask Meletus “is it better for men to live among good not evil and that they will rather be helped been harmed?” Meletus agreed. Socrates asked if he thought that he was corrupting the youth intentionally or unintentionally his response was intentionally. Socrates states that if he does corrupted young it is not intentionally or does he not correct them at all. I believe that he was saying that if he does corrupt (or what people saw as him corrupting) it was not his intention to do so. In that case he should not be found guilty. In the case of the Gods Socrates simply says that Meletus was contradicting himself by saying accusing him of not believing in God and believing in God.

I will have to vote to let Socrates be free first reason is that Socrates intent was not to corrupt or harm anyone he just wanted to share the new knowledge he found. People should have been free to worship whatever God they want to like today. Socrates, in my opinion was telling the young people what he thought and because it wasn’t the belief of the people in the city they didn’t like it. I don’t think that Socrates corrupted the young people because they have minds to think for themselves. He was simply giving them new thoughts on different things that no on agreed with. That’s how it is now in a way. (no one get put to death) the moment someone says something that is not the way we think it should be we are quick to say that person is wrong. When in actuality, they are just looking at the same thing with a different outlook about it. No one should be judged for thinking outside of someone else’s box. We are all unique in every way possible. That is something we should...
