In "The Death of Socrates", Plato discusses Socrates' view that suggest that people will know what is good and what is bad and will use their insticts to act upon it. In todays world this is rarely the case. Over time people have become selfish and now do things so that they can get ahead in the world. They dont care who they have to step on to get there as long as in the end they can buy the car they have always wanted and the Ikea furniture to furnish there million dollar houses. This is happening on a daliy basis, people are becoming much more secluded and the sense of comunity is not there as much as it used to be. When you look at the great acomplishments of our nation and the world they are all done by groups of people, not individuals. Without the help of eachother this world will become closed off and cold. If more people could understand Socrates views this world might become a better place for all to live in. In the end, no one will remember how many futons you bought from Ikea, but they will remember you if you have put them befor you in some point throughout their life. Return to Home
