Philosopherpalooza

   Today in class we finished up the powerpoint with philosophers of Greece. The three main philosophers we focused on were Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Socrates is one of the most famous Greek philosophers and one of the first. He challenged the people of Athens to think critically. he started to question the credibility of the Greek Gods which is against Athenian law and he was sentenced to death despite being well respected. Plato was one of Socrates' (I also put the apostrophe at the end) pupils. After his death he became very popular with his two most famous books Republic and Apology. Aristotle was one of Plato's students and he would go on to teach Alexander the Great and create a school. He wanted to unify Athens as a intellectual destination.

I am not the most hardworking person who goes out of his way to accomplish a goal the way it should be accomplished. I always finish something with the required work and will definitely find a way to do minimum work possible. I felt like A Message to Garcia was speaking to those who don't do the most work and to inspire them to better themselves not just for them but for others.            The story also tries to convey how people who are able to carry this message are what all of society needs. In the story the author states that " If men do not act for themselves, then what will they do when the benefit of their effort is for all." This explains if you do not do the work for your self how will you be able to work for other people, and if you can not do work f...
