Crito vs. Socrates

I would have to agree with Socrates because Crito doesn't really make any arguements, otherthan selfish ones. He basically says that he doesn't want to let Socrates die because of what people will say about him, not Socrates, about Crito.

However, Socrates wants to die for the greater good. He says that if he runs that no one will listen to his teachings. He also says that it would be like giving up on what he believes in. Which I agree with, because who would listen to a coward?

Socrate's Quote

"The unexamined life is not worth living." This quote relates to my past, present, and my future. In the past and the present I always ask, "Why?" for everything. I am always curious about what is happening and why it is happening. This makes life interesting to ask questions.

Then this quote can also mean finding out who I am as a person. It is about examining my life after all. This is very important because if you don't know who you are then you're not living, not truely anyways.

Lastly, I want a scientific career. This will definately require asking questions and examining every single detail. My life, wouldn't be mine or worth it if I didn't get my career. I have wanted to be this since I was five years old, so it means a lot to me.

Should Inteligent Design be taught in schools?

I think that in order to fully understand then both need to be taught in schools. This way the students can question each topic, also it goes along with what Amber said in class, being able to question is what learning really is. I totally agree, how else are we to find the flaws and totally understand if we do not question.

Also, what Laura said works too, in evolution they still haven't said how the first organism got here, which means isn't that a flaw. Also, she said that you can't really say how the first organism got here without bringing in a higher being into it. So, isn't that Intelligent Design.

What I've Learned

I found the issue of creationism vs. evolution as interesting. I am a Christian myself so I see the view point of Drummond asking, "How long were the first three days, really?" very important. I now can believe in both evolution, which is taught in the classroom, and creationism, which is taught at home.

I find it easier to agree with both then to have to decide between one or the other. One is all belief, the other has proof. However, both together, are a force, they have belief and proof. So, this will help with my future studies; I want to go into biology, which is a science feild. So, know my beliefs and my studies might not collide as bad.
