Noi’bla: Language In this fieldwork‚ I am presenting Delta Sigma Phi from the point of the members themselves.

Quite honestly‚ today’s readings had me going in circles—Socrates’ arguments were slightly difficult for me to follow because his different points were organized or explained in a way that relates his point in a cyclic manner. Regardless‚ Socrates attempts to argue the immortality and the existence of the soul. The most confusing aspect of this was the beginning of his argument.

discussion between Polus and Socrates‚ they are trying to decide if suffering something unjust is worse and more shameful than actually doing what is unjust.

Meno and Socrates are very different characters. Meno seems to be really into his own knowledge and assumed expertise‚ while Socrates reserves himself and his pride by accepting that he knows nothing and humbled himself enough to accept new information and examine every detail to acquire the very best conclusion. They discuss the idea of virtue and the ways to attain it. While virtue is really hard to define‚ and we only know that it has something to do with knowledge and way of living‚ Meno by Plato

In the Ring of Gyges‚ Glaucon and Socrates argue over what justice really is. They talk about the classes of goods. The first class being some things are good no matter the consequences‚ such as joy (The Ring of Gyges‚ Plato).

Leayotta Karley Bibl 105 9/24/12 Discussion Board Forum Thread 1 From the reading of Courageous Faith: ch.1-6‚ I have identified myself with the life of Moses. He portrayed a life with failures as well as received a second chance to overcome his past circumstances in his life. The parallels of Moses’s life to mine is similar in some ways due to the fact that I had to start over again with the help of God. Moses didn’t know what his purpose in life was as myself at present. Do the actions and
