Why Protagora's Pupil Eulathus Won The Case?

Improved Essays
In the Protagoras's Wager, I believe that Protagoras's pupil Eulathus won the case. My reasoning for that would be that Eulathus backfired toward the argument with his own masters tactful speaking skills as follows "No sir you have it backwards. If you defeat me in court then I have lost my first case and so do not owe the money; if I defeat you, the court will rule that I do not owe you the money. Either I defeat you or you or you defeat me. In either case, I do not owe you the money"- Eulthaus. This defeat on Protagoras part ulitimalty shows that although his pupil did defeat him in my opinion; his teachings did have value in the end and therefore perhaps it proves that what he charged such a highly quanitity of money to teach was not only

Scarpelli (1973) the United States Supreme Court stated that due process mandates preliminary and final revocation hearings under the same conditions as Morrissey v. Brewer (1972) (Gagnon v. Scarpelli, 1973).

    What is more illuminating is that way she weaves the story of the men in Neaira’s life using the judicial system for political and personal gain (Hamel, 155). This speaks a lot about the Greek political system, because when one thinks of Greek politics a fair and just system comes to mind. Yet this abuse of the court system for personal or political gain happened all too often and usually, like this case, consisted of outlandish accusations used to harm an opponent with the scandalous…

    Lawrence Brosseau was wrongfully convicted to due language barriers and lack of effort from his defense lawyer. Brosseau is an Indigenous and was twenty-two years old at the time of conviction. His lack of English speaking meant that he had to use a Cree interpreter as a lawyer while in court. However, the interpreter he was given could hardly understand him, so his testify was inaccurate. In the article, his lawyer says, "I don't pretend to have any particular understanding of his mind or of his intent."…

    The Injustices of Muller v Oregon The early 18th century was a time of great economic inequality, in which big businesses and corporations would use sweatshop labor in order to accumulate large amounts of wealth. With no federal regulations for safety or workers’ rights, the conditions of these sweatshops and factories were extremely hazardous, and industrial accidents were the norm. The primarily unskilled workers were often exploited for very low pay, but were forced to accept these conditions because they needed the money. In response to these conditions, progressive reformers began to rally for a shorter workday.…

    The Scopes Trial John Scopes was a teacher in Dayton, TN, beginning around 1924. He is best known for the controversy that he caused over teaching one very touchy subject to his students, Evolution. In 1925, Tennessee passed the Butler Act which made it illegal for any teacher in a public school "to teach any theory that denies the story of the Divine Creation of man as taught in the Bible, and to teach instead that man has descended from a lower order of animals.” John Scopes was not a biology teacher, but he was a substitute teacher for a biology class. He taught the class using a book in which supported evolution which was enough to get him tried under the law.…

    The question of whether or not Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti received a fair trial is still in dispute today. Many people during the time of the case believed that the men were “executed on murder based on doubtful ballistic evidence” because of the hostility towards immigrants due to the Red Scare and World War 1 (“Perfect Suspects, Unfair Trials”). The evidence provided during the trial showed that the men were found guilty due to the fact that they were in anarchist groups and were active members of multiple militant groups. Sacco and Vanzetti were victims of intense xenophobia because of being Italian immigrants. This gave the courts the ability to declare a verdict on their ethnicity; therefore, we now have laws to protect the defendant from an unfair trial.…
