Nicolas Beltran English 101 /Ms.Jackson March 13 2012 While reading “Drug Policy as Social Control” by Noam Chomsky and “Crito” by Plato I noticed a similarity between the two.

What I found more interesting is that there is much evidence that supports the selectivist theory‚ found by Noam Chomsky that the ability to learn language is innate. Here innate means that ‘the language template is pre-organized in the neuronal structure of the brain‚ so that the fact of being an integral part of a given environment selects the borders of each individual

Response Paper: The Crito Socrates argues in the Crito that he shouldn ’t escape his death sentence because it isn ’t just. Crito and friends can provide the ransom the warden demands. If not for himself‚ Socrates should escape for the sake of his friends‚ sons‚ and those who benefit from his teaching. Socrates and Crito ’s argument proceeds from this point. There are many instances in Plato ’s the Crito where Socrates gives reasons for himself to stay in Athens and face his death. Arguments range
