My name is Bonnie, I don't have a preferred name so Bonnie it is lol. I am 48 going on 49 next week (yuk). I currently live in Arizona with my husband, my dog, and two cats. I am here to get my bachelor's degree in human services. I currently work as a peer support specialist at a nonprofit community health center which I love. I have taken a Philosophy class in the past and was completely confused by the class. I am hoping to get a better understanding of critical thinking and Philosophy in general. "Listen, then, Socrates, to us who have brought you up. Think not of life and children first, and of justice afterwards, but of justice first, that you may be justified before the princes of the world below. For neither will you nor any that belong to you be happier or holier or juster in this life, or happier in another, if you do as Crito bids. Now you depart in innocence, a sufferer and not a doer of evil; a victim, not of the laws, but of men. But if you go forth, returning evil for evil, and injury for injury, breaking the covenants and agreements which you have made with us, and wronging those whom you ought least to wrong, that is to say, yourself, your friends, your country, and us, we shall be angry with you while you live, and our brethren, the laws in the world below, will receive you as an enemy; for they will know that you have done your best to destroy us. Listen, then, to us and not to Crito." This argument focuses on the principles of the story as well the people in the story. This makes for a sound argument. If Socrates flees as Crito was saying, Socrates would in fact break his agreements which would make him an enemy of the people. There are no flaws in this argument as the reading as stated “an argument is nothing more than the process of supporting views you hold with reasons” (Solomon, R. C., & Higgins, K.M., 2017). Socrates thought about his agreements with the people before deciding to flee. References: Solomon, R. C., & Higgins, K. M. (2017). The Big Questions: A Short Introduction to Philosophy (10th ed.).
