South Park’s episode‚ “With Apologies to Jesse Jackson” played on many ideas such as racism‚ racial sensitivity‚ institutionalized exclusion of minorities‚ and the pushing political agendas.

Comparison between Crito and Apology For these two articles that we read in Crito and Apology by Plato‚ we could know Socrates is an enduring person with imagination‚ because he presents us with a mass of contradictions: Most eloquent men‚ yet he never wrote a word; ugliest yet most profoundly attractive; ignorant yet wise; wrongfully convicted‚ yet unwilling to avoid his unjust execution.

Jonathan Layne Philosophy 104 March 15‚ 2011 Socrates: The Apology and Crito Socrates believed that his purpose‚ as a moral individual‚ was to achieve true wisdom of virtue and justice. With this considered‚ one may ask‚ "Then why did he accept punishment for crimes he didn’t commit?"

Also‚ the comparison of the two poems shows how
