Do you think the Socrates in the apology is a good example of a courageous person. Defend or explain your judgement about Socrates courageousness or lack of courageousness. Alternatively or additionally, consider the allegory of the cave. Does it take more courage to venture out of the cave or to go back into it

Answer: I got you fam

Explanation:If Socrates were put on trial today it would be much like his trial in Athens, most likely put on trial for the same reason of some citizens resenting him for his deeds of making them seem foolish. Upon living within our society, he would have had a grasp of what we value and want from life. Knowing about what his view of our society would most likely be, I believe that Socrates would defend himself and make a statement to our society by explain to us, are we only resent him due to our arrogance as found in the Apology and The Allegory of the Cave, how we must change our ways as a society by properly prioritizing our efforts to seek wisdom
