HLSC 2400U Final: Ethics Minutes Scripts for Students
Document Summary
For a guy who never wrote anything down, socrates had a lot to say. What socrates liked most was to pose questions to people who had developed some knowledge in an area only to tear apart their answers and force them to try even harder to find a better answer. Unfortunately, socrates was accused of introducing new gods and not believing in the accepted gods because he spoke of a divine voice inside him. He was condemned to death, drinking hemlock in front of his friends because he valued the truth and his conscience more than his life. Plato was a student of socrates who wrote scripts that helped to explain the important idea that ethics meant good character. To know the difference between what was right or wrong, or good or bad required a sense of justice. Well, no, if done so honestly and without harming others.
