World History per. 6
Edward Snowden is a modern day Socrates for many reasons, even though there are hundreds of years inbetween them. One of those reasons being, that Edward Snowden believes that everyone should know what is happening, and that there should be no secrets being kept away and hidden from the people, just like Socrates. Also Edward Snowden will stand for what he believes is right, and in this case he believed that he should tell us Americans that the NSA is spying on us, just like Socrates also stood up for what he believed was right. Edward Snowden has people that agree with what he did, and others who completaly hate him for what he has done (Mostly the NSA and government), and Socrates also had people that believed in him, and loved him, but he also had the people who didn't. Also Edward Snowden, like Socrates also went to trial, for doing what they believe to be right, and an ok thing to do, when others believed that what they did, was the wrong thing to do. Also In away both Edward Snowden and Socrates were both pretty much acused for what they believe, and telling their belief with others, but isn't that freedome of speech? S both Edward Snowden and Socrates were acused for freedome of speech. Those are some reasons why Edward Snowden is like a modern day Socrates.
