Short Response Three Socrates

I think anyone today who tried to live like Socrates would not be alive for very long. I'm sure they could try to live like him; however, it would not last very long. If someone tried to live like Socrates, always trying to be cocky, not compromising with others, and saying that he is right to the court and there is no other way instead of giving them an apology. In today's society, that person would either be killed out on the streets because not too many people would like him or he would be put in jail for an unneccessary argument in court.

I know a lot of elderly people that I work with day in and day out within the hospital that are stubborn and very independent, but that is how they grew up and that's all they really know. Although, i dint think they exactly act like Socrates did and i don't think they would in front of a court either. In today's world, people might be stubborn and they might stand up for what they believe in, but when it comes down to a judicial court, they tend to back away to do whatever it takes to get out of court. also, people try to compromise with others, because it is the right thing to do and its just not worth arguing for.
