socrates

We talked about Socrates today and found out he was charged with two crimes for teaching young people different lessons that the government didn't agree with. He took the blame because he didn't think anything was wrong with what he was teaching. Later, he had the chance to escape prison, but he decided to take his punishment to show that he agreed with Athen's government and laws. I think that was the right thing to do because he is now he is respected.
