The reason being, is because why kill a criminal who should do time for his crime instead of being killed and not feel…

While reading The Apology, I have learned that Socrates is not actually sorry or apologizing at all. Meletus has bought to the jury several accusations against Socrates and he now has to defend himself to try to avoid the death penalty.

Problems also arrive from questions of the ethicality of it and if it’s right to kill someone for killing someone.

War is a word that usually has a negative connotation associated with it. When people think of war, most will think of death and destruction.
