Both Woolf and Socrates have been questioning society as a whole. Woolf questioned the ideals about how men and women where treated in society and how gender is just a social construct people made up. While Socrates questioned why society made something pious or impious and people followed it without understanding why. Why do Woolf and Socrates ask and tell us all these things? Its not as though they would be able to change the world‚ but just to be able to make people to think about the construct

Socrates is a man who relies on his manipulative tricks of rhetoric and cunning wisdom to dismantle and disprove his opponents of conversation. “What is the pious‚ and what the impious‚ do you say?” (6) Socrates asks one of these opponents‚ a man named Euthyphro‚ who is at court to prosecute his own father - an action which Euthyphro thinks to be pious. Socrates asks Euthyphro to define piety‚ and as he does so‚ Socrates uses their conversation to mock and twist Euthyphro’s words so they contradict

Socrates begins by arguing that one must never do wrong. One of the most compelling arguments that he goes on to make is that doing harm to someone is wrong and therefore one must never engage in retaliatory harm.

This can be seen in the many great and intellectual conversations that were had in class last week.

Although undoubtedly guilty of murder‚ there is no doubt in my mind that this is a clear-cut case of diminished responsibility. Throughout the whole sordid business the defendant whom I am representing has been beset with evil influences designed to erode his free will and conscience. If there was a penalty for the only flaw which he showed before he was mercilessly exploited by these evil forces‚ which was that of ambition‚ I believe we would all be convicted at some point in our lives.
