He therefore ought not disobey the State. He furthers his argument by saying that disobeying the State and escaping would be committing a wrong act, and would be an injustice against the people of Athens. He says that if he escaped, he would not be able to live life the same way he was used to living. Also his sons would not be able to grow in Athens and would then be raised by strangers rather than by the State that raised him and has been loyal to him. He emphasizes that although one should not disobey the State, one can always try to persuade the State to improve is as a whole in truth and
With this frame of mind, they lack the motivation to do better and succeed. ), Collectivism (The w/c value being part of a group. This may hold them back as they will take the group’s decision on something, which may be to not attend school, not revise etc. ), Immediate gratification vs. deferred gratification (The w/c believe in IG where they want the reward straight away. This can affect their education as they will not want to stay on in further education, as they can get a job and make money straight away.
A higher response rate can be obtained if follow-up questionnaires are sent, but this can add to the cost and time. However, some sociologists may choose to use questionnaires as there is no need to recruit and train interviewees thus saving costs. Another reason as to why some sociologists choose not to use questionnaires when conducting research is because of the fact that questionnaires are snapshots of social reality of the time when the respondents answer the questionnaires. This means that they fail to produce valid pictures as they do not capture how people’s attitudes can change over time. On the other hand, questionnaires tend to be used by sociologists as they provide less ethical issues than other research methods.
Censorship is the idea of not revealing ideas and text in order to benefit society. But in many ways, censoring items causes the world to create biased thoughts based on the limited information released. In some cases the world is blinded because they are told nothing to begin with. Historical events such as the holocaust can prove this true. To this day society continues to be censored from ideas by the government and companies that impact our ways of life and learning.
Things would run better with no competition for office. The program would have problems. The people of the state might not agree with the program. Philosophers may refuse to take up office because the life of a philosopher would be better than that of a ruler. It would be hard for this program to work in a democracy since the people may not agree with it.
They continue to bring up the topic of pious and unpious actions. Euthyphro claims “the pious is to do what I am doing, to prosecute the wrongdoer…not to prosecute is impious.” Then, Socrates exclaims he is the defendant in his case because he believes it is difficult to accept the common knowledge the people believe about the goods, since there is no plausible evidence. As the dialogue continues, Socrates claims that “different gods consider different things to be just…for they would not be at odds with one another unless they differed about these subjects…(page 9, 7e)” Then the same things would be both pious and unpious. Simply, the nature of Socrates is to question and further complicate matters by counter arguments. Then Socrates states that the matter is finding who the wrongdoer is rather than how he must be punished.
if we as Americans wanted to have these jobs we could go get them right? Right but we choose not to so why stop others from doing it trying to make better lives for themselves. People in America are so quick to judge before they understand the full story they are humans just like us just trying to provide. As you can see from the reasons I have provided this is why we need to allow immigration here in the United States. So that they can have a chance to have a better life for them and their children.
A person does not need to read a lot of books, study the Bible, or live a long life to gain the wisdom and knowledge to know that torturing a captured, defenseless human being is completely wrong. Naturally, the American people must know that the practice of torture is absolutely wrong. Torturing other human beings, even our own mortal enemies, is conduct that is the antithesis of American morale and value. A further reason why the Untied States should ban the torture of captured enemy combatants is because such practice is inconsistent with international law, and is consistent with various treaties that the United States has entered into with foreign countries. Specifically, the Geneva Convention, which is a treaty made and entered by most civilized counties in the world since 1864, and revised and expanded thereafter.
I agree with Socrates when he says the unexamined life is not worth living for several reasons. Not only should we live our lives as if we are going to be judged at the end, but we should strive to live them to the fullest, making accomplishments, no matter how big or small, that will improve the lives of others around us and future generations. It is true that as a result of living an examined life sacrifices will be made, but these sacrifices are selfish in nature and would not be for the greater good. It is in everyone’s interest to better mankind, but if a majority of the population lived unexamined lives then it is safe to assume there will not be many contributions to the overall welfare of our civilization. However living an examined life will not only better yourself but will help those around you and guarantee your safety in heaven.
Instead the United States rather go start away somewhere else in the world because it doesn’t like the way people are being treated. Rather than trying to help other counties with their problems the Unites States should try and help itself. You have to look at yourself and make sure you’re okay before trying to help anyone else. Billions of dollars are spent on wars, wars that could have been avoided. The government isn’t spending their money the way they should.
