Today, in Syria, thousands of Muslims are having to evacuate their own
country due to the harsh climate of the war. Mr Schick asked us the tough question
of whether or not the other countries should take in these Muslims to their own
country. Many of my classmates said that the other countries should. Next, he
asked us if the Muslims should be welcomed in the US. This time less people
were on board with that idea. Little did we know, Mr. Schick was using the
Socratic Method. Today we received a better understanding of who Socrates was
and what his method was about. The Socratic method is the discussion between
people involving questions and answers to get people to really think and use
logic. Unfortunately, some people thought of this as corrupting the youth
and he was killed by a forced suicide. However, he never regretted his
decisions even when he knew he was to be put to death, which is what makes him
such a strong figure.
