Recommended: Essays on apologies

For the time I hurt you and any other reason you are angry at me, I feel sorry. I am aware that my apology doesn’t mean much to you (I whiteness you never speak with Marisa after fight), but aside from that, I want to tell that although I was hurt by your words at the moment as well (as much or little I can remember)and that we should set some boundaries in the future, if there is future. We were special because we could always say each other the most unpleasant things, and I still believe everyone should have one person like that in the life.

    As humans, we are entitled to making mistakes in our lives, but by forgiving one free himself from anger. Marianne Williamson wrote this about forgiveness: “ Forgiveness is not always easy.

  • The Apology: A Philosophical Way Of Life

    1001 Words  | 3 Pages

    Many people have gone through their lives conforming their beliefs and practices for the sake of fitting in or for the happiness of others, but Socrates was not one of these people. In “The Apology” Plato shows Socrates unwillingness to conform through a speech given by Socrates while on trial for supposedly corrupting the youth of Athens and believing in false gods. Although the title of the dialogue was labeled “The Apology,” Socrates’ speech was anything but that, it was a defense of himself and his content along his philosophical journey. At no time during the trial was Socrates willing to change his ways in order to avoid punishment, two reasons being his loyalty to his God and his philosophical way of life.

  • An Analysis Of The Apology By Benjamin Jowett

    567 Words  | 2 Pages

    The author of “The Apology,” Benjamin Jowett, supports his ideas of Socrates by explaining the judgmental views that were made towards Socrates. Socrates is forced to face the jury of Athens due to his gadfly role on the streets on Athens. The citizens of Athens were willing to tolerate persons who could give persuasive speeches and make great shows of rhetoric, but they had no room for Socrates, who was questioning and investigations threatened to undermine a public culture of conformity to traditional authority. Eventually, the practice of philosophy cost Socrates his life. “I would have you know, if you kill such a one as I am, you will injure yourselves more than you will injure me,” Socrates states. Socrates thought that no good man could be harmed; as long as you are doing good then harm cannot affect you. Socrates was told he was the smartest man in Athens, which motivated him to go on the streets to prove he was not. The author proves this point by stating what Socrates says to the jury, “Here is a man who is wiser than I am but you said that I was the wisest.” Socrates went...

  • An Apology From Socrates

    1717 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Apology is Socrates' defense at his trial. As the dialogue begins, Socrates notes that his accusers have cautioned the jury against Socrates' eloquence, according to Socrates, the difference between him and his accusers is that Socrates speaks the truth. Socrates distinguished two groups of accusers: the earlier and the later accusers. The earlier group is the hardest to defend against, since they do not appear in court. He is all so accused of being a Sophist: that he is a teacher and takes money for his teaching. He attempts to explain why he has attracted such a reputation. The oracle was asked if anyone was wiser than Socrates was. The answer was no, there was no man wiser. Socrates cannot believe this oracle, so he sets out to disprove it by finding someone who is wiser. He goes to a politician, who is thought wise by him self and others. Socrates does not think this man to be wise and tells him so. As a consequence, the politician hated Socrates, as did others who heard the questioning. "I am better off, because while he knows nothing but thinks that he knows, I neither know nor think that I know" (Socrates). He questioned politicians, poets, and artisans. He finds that the poets do not write from wisdom, but by genius and inspiration. Meletus charges Socrates with being "a doer of evil, and corrupter of the youth, and he does not believe in the gods of the State, and has other new divinities of his own."

  • Socrates Apology Analysis

    895 Words  | 2 Pages

    A. Under trial for corrupting youth and not worshiping the Gods in Athens, Socrates takes an attitude that many might interpret as pompous during his trial. Rather than apologise, as Plato’s dialogue title Apology suggests, Socrates explains why he is right and those who accused him are mistaken. He speaks in a plain manner, as if the jury is just another of his followers. Socrates first cites the profit at Delphi for why he behaves in ways that lead to him being under scrutiny of the law. He explains that his friend, Chaerephon, went to ask the oracle if anyone is wiser than Socrates and the oracle responded no (21a). Socrates then explains his interpretation of this being that he is wise in knowing that he does not know certain things, where

  • Why Men Need To Apologize Essay

    470 Words  | 1 Pages

    I think that heterosexual men are less likely to perceive the need to apologize because that is something that they weren't really taught while growing up. There wasn't someone saying "boys don't apologize"... But there also wasn't someone in their lives pushing them to be sympathetic or to show their feelings. Boys are taught at a young age to be the strong ones and to never cry, while girls are taught the exact opposite. Girls are allowed to cry and to be emotional, no one questions that. Although, as soon as a boy or a man shows their feelings or is sympathetic they are automatically deemed as "gay" or weak? I think that if Bernstein were to redo their research and studies years down the road from now, there might be different results. I feel as though children are being brought up differently now, they have more freedom to be who they want to be and not so much of what society wants them to behave an act like. The reason men are less likely to perceive the need to apologize is based off of how they were broughtt up, unfortunately arrogance also plays a role in this situation. Men are more likely to have more confidence than a woman, women think about things more in depth than a man and are usually in the position of feeling as though they are at fault. (Even when they aren't) If a woman in a
