Modern Day Socrates
After having the trail, people cognized how Brian Williams have been a character that is
similar to Socrates. The way that people define him as "the modern Socrates" is because that he
was accused by corrupting people's mind. Same to Socrates, the youth was teaching by him, and
they found a great interests in listening to Socrates' stories. However, this became a charge of
how Socrates corrupted the youth. At this point, Brian William and Socrates have a great
common that they both have accused by corrupting people's mind.
Brian Williams was also accused by how he has used false memories to lie in front of the
public, as an anchor, the biggest thing that he shouldn't do is to lie to the people and give them
false information. Why we said that they both have a common is because both of these two
characters have been charged by giving people incorrect information, to Socrates, the "incorrect
information" is more likely to be teaching the youth incorrect knowledge. However, these two
men both have the negative effects to the society, they gained no trust from the public and the
things that they were doing have accused by the citizens - that is corrupting the public.
Nowadays, people still using Socrates to compare with a lot of public personages as a
warning of not doing bad things to affect the society that we are living.
