Reflection Of The Republic

The Republic by Plato was a fascinating piece of literature to read. This book focuses on issues that are still very relevant to this day.

Over the years’ humans may have developed and advanced so much, but who we are and how we behave, think and feel hasn’t changed a bit. Prior to reading this, I believed that as time has gone on we have developed as a people, but Plato shows that the problems and issues

This summer I went to the Dominican Republic, which my church organized with another church. I helped to build a church for a church in need down in the DR.

And I helped with the sports camp, and played basketball with little kids which was an amazing experience. I showed God's love through the building of this church and played games

Dominican Republic Reflection I thought going back to the Dominican Republic for a second year would feel like being the parents on Christmas morning: you get to watch everyone else’s reaction to the stuff you’ve already seen, and you just get to sit back and help throw away the wrapping paper. I thought I had, in a way, already had my transformative moment; I was there to see my Dominican friends again, to help my HGP friends experience the trip, and to do some good for the people of the Dominican

Assignment 1. Reflection on: the “Republic,” by Plato. Greek philosopher, Plato, is considered to be one of the most influential people in Western Philosophy. The fact that he was a student of Socrates and a teacher of Aristotle leaves no questions about his competence. One of his fundamental works is the “Republic”. Even though it was written in 380 BC, Plato’s and Socrates’s thoughts are still relevant in twenty first century. This paper will evaluate the quote from the “Republic” and provide

The Federalist Papers “This country and this people seem to have been made for each other, and it appears as if it was the design of Providence that an inheritance so proper and convenient for a ban of brethren, united to each other by the strongest of ties, should never be split into a number of unsocial, jealous, and alien sovereignties.” (Jay 1787) This was written by John Jay in one of a collection of 85 essays written by John Jay, James Madison and Alexander Hamilton known as The Federalist

Meno, Republic, and Theaetetus. In Meno's case, Plato believes knowledge as something innate in us when we are born; in his later view, in Republic, Plato believes we perceive things and gain knowledge; and from the last view, in Theaetus, Plato believes knowledge is the combination of a true opinion and a rational opinion. Strangely enough, Plato's views in Meno, Republic, and Theaetetus are similar, regarding the characteristics of knowledge. Despite that, Plato's views in Meno, Republic, and

individual, needs to just focus on their arete and making it better instead of interfering with someone else’s arete. You can see Plato’s view of what arete is in what he believes would make up the perfect political structure for humans, The Republic. In the Republic each

disorientates him at first. He is then told that the objects that are around him are real and that the shadows that he was so familiar and believed were real, were simply reflections. This confused him since the objects reflections or shadows were more clear to him. However slowly his eyes begin to adjust and he is able to look at reflections in the water, then at the objects themselves and finally at the sun itself which illuminated everything. Having discovered this new reality he goes back to the cave
