Plato was greatly influenced by Socrates and included Socrates as basis of many of his literary works. Meno deals specifically with virtue and whether it can be taught. Phaedo is significant as it reveals the conviction of a truth-seeker just before dying for a cause. Phaedo narrates…

Respect… just think about it for a minute and ask yourself what it means for you. The dictionary defines respect as an act of giving particular attention or high regard. I believe that respect is so valuable to us today and for any generation. I want to talk about kinds of respect. First of all, respect yourself. That is the start. It is like a foundation for future house where house is the world. In order to honor someone, you must first respect oneself. “ Respect yourself enough to walk away…

Introduction There have been many experiences in my life that have drastically changed how I view the world and my place within society and relationships. The most dramatic change that has occurred in my life happened when I moved to Raleigh, North Carolina to attend graduate school. I was born and raised in Augusta, Georgia and lived there for twenty seven years. Augusta and the people in that town were the only life I knew before I decided to make a change and leave home for school. It…

In this situation, a CEO offers his employees in the standards and testing department a…

The excerpt from Antigone is very valuable because it can be used in our everyday life. If you make a mistake own up to it , don’t act like you don’t realize your fault. In Antigone , Creon was really arrogant and he didn’t want to listen to anyone’s advice , and so him not heeding wise words people ended up dead.

are two sets of virtues: the résumé virtues and the eulogy virtues. The résumé virtues are, as he explains them, “the skills you bring to the marketplace” and the eulogy virtues are “the ones that are talked about at your funeral — whether you were kind, brave, honest or faithful.” (Brooks). Both are important to have and as an incoming freshman, I hope to develop these virtues during my next four years at La Salle University. I expect to acquire multiple résumé and eulogy virtues by getting…

It is not just treating illness, but also giving oneself for the well being of another. I think nursing care should be done holistically while putting the beliefs and values of the patient into consideration.

I’ve had many different friends in my life. I’ve had good and bad relationships. Friends that I grew apart from and others that ditched me because they simply just didn’t want to be my friend anymore.

It may be argued that this is purely coincidental, however, Socrates’ speech in the Apology has been and still is a tremendous philosophical influence, thus, it appears more so that Socrates’ speech influenced the Connecticut College’s Mission…
