we change how we see the world and how we learn. How we were taught has a great impact on every aspect of our lives‚ from choosing what we will do with our futures to how we treat one another.

A combination of these philosopher’s ideas and ideals are what will create a healthy‚ productive‚ and unique classroom that provides guidance for the ever changing dynamics in a classroom. With teaching‚ there is no one

political rule” Asses whether Plato has shown his claim to be false. Plato believes that the ideal ruler of the state should be a philosopher. He states that a king concerned with the pursuit of wisdom would undoubtedly be better than a lover of power‚ wealth or status.
