In May, we ended the school year strong with 5 students baptized and publicly proclaiming their faith in Jesus Christ at our last…

Both Plato and Cornel West demonstrate important ways of teaching a student how to think in a similar way. One way being how being wrong can be beneficial throughout their stories the “Apology” and “On My Intellectual Vacation.” In Cornel West “On My Intellectual Vacation” When he notions towards being wrong is beneficial on page 24 “In other words it is not a matter of pointing fingers or calling name, but really showing that you are in the very mess that you are trying to grasp. Moreover…

The Apology was a very interesting read that helps one to see through the eyes of Socrates. He seems to have been a very wise man who fought for what he believed in and wanted to spread the idea of asking ideas, or what became known as the Socratic Method. My favorite core teaching of Socrates was that “the unexamined life is not worth living.” I am going to explain why this specific teaching stands out to me the most personally, and then connect it with how it Socrates acts upon it within The…

Long Soldier, a Lakota woman uses the entire second half of her novel to rebuke an apology she deems inadequate. Initially when analyzing her writing, it seems nonsensical and unorganized. This collection disrupts typical conventions of writing to illustrate the nonsensical manner in which the Congressional Apology was written and delivered. Through her poems, the author makes the…

Plato 's "The Apology" and "The Allegory of the Cave" essentially provide the same message through different mediums -- the self and the soul is taken care of through the pursuit of truth, and self-criticism and self-inquiry help keep the soul in check, ensuring that the soul is being taken care of. From these two pieces, the "care" for our "soul" or our "self" means that people are obliged to become more meaningful. Caring for the self involves the highest level of morality and knowledge to the…

In both Chaucer’s Wife of Bath’s prologue and tale and Lanyer’s Eve’s Apology, there is an importance placed upon religion and the need to refute those religious-based claims that seek and have harnessed the biblical text to harm the image of women. Although Lanyer’s entire poem is hinging on this and Chaucer uses it more sparingly in just one specific section, the importance is not so far between them. Chaucer’s characterization of Alyson is multi-layered and one must remain careful as there…

It consists of the three parts: Phaedo, The Apology, and Crito, in which they document each part of the trial, including his defense, the verdict of the jury, and the judgment of court. The story that I wanted to focus my essay is Plato’s The Apology. The overall theme I saw throughout the play, but emphasized in The Apology was wisdom. The theme of wisdom is also present in the novel’s visual depiction: Socrates by Robert Rossellini. The Apology is dialogued while Socrates is on trial for…

Socrates, in Plato’s The Apology of Socrates, claims that fear is the great moral compromiser, arguing that any choice or action made in the name of fear is morally delinquent, where morality is defined by pervasive cultural and societal norms. Although fear may compromise morality, it appears that even moral decisions can be made on the basis of fear.
