### Socrates: Corrupting the Youth
#freedom #illegal #challangethestatusquo
In 399 BC, Socrates was accused of corrupting the youth of Athens. His method of relentless questioning encouraged young people to challenge traditional beliefs and authority figures, which many saw as a threat to societal norms. This intellectual influence led to his trial and condemnation. Despite defending his approach as a pursuit of true wisdom, Socrates was sentenced to death by hemlock. His legacy endures, emphasizing the importance of critical thinking and questioning the status quo.
