Comparison Of Socrates And The Sub-Saharan Society

In Socrates’ view, when illustrating a proper good man, it is important for a man to stand with his or rather her view against immorality despite the nature of the surrounding. According to him, it shall be a foolish idea to stay in a society with injustice and still assume everything is fine. His stance is depicted by how he illustrates the story of a boy who is warned by his mother about avenging the death of his friend. The boy is threaten by his mother that he shall die if he conducts the just action but in turn the boy declares to do the action as he rather does than live with the guilt of not conducting injustice (west 28c). In contrast to the sub-Saharan society, a good person is one who accounts to the goodness of the society at first
This is viewed by how the people are not into concern with the matters of injustice conducted to Socrates in the court. As Socrates is voted to be guilty by the jurymen, it is evidenced of how there is no communalism among the society in that case. Compared to the community found in the sub Saharan region, it can be depicted that they tend to respect the essence of community more than individualism. It is viewed as a role of every individual to participate in community activities as it is depicted important in understanding that every person matters in the society through the assertion that a person is, because of others (Metz 325). This illustrates the importance of community rather than
In the outlook of the sub-Saharan, it can be depicted that it is important for every person to ensure that another person is well. It brings out the idea that to live, one must depend and support others. Communalism helps eradicate unselfishness among the community. In regard to disadvantages brought about by this outlook, one may think of death and laziness. As per his stand, Socrates had to face death despite this depicted as a good stand in support of his view against injustice. In the sub Saharan society, communalism may bring about the idea of laziness as other may not work as they shall be dependent to others sweat. This may be so because at last one shall be in concern of the other person’s situation if he or even she has enough for himself or herself. In regard of what the two outlooks have to learn from each other, it may be viewed to be of importance if the Socrates society could take the idea of communalism. This society should take into concern the well being of others rather than individualism. To a higher extent, the growth of the community is important as an individual will not be able to satisfy a community but a community can do the same easily. The sub Saharan society should take the idea of how good it would be to support your own opinion despite the community in presence of immoral conducts as depicted by Socrates
