My name is Zea Huizar. My major is film and I am working to becoming a music video producer and director. My interest include playing volleyball, hanging out with family and friends, reading and of course browsing the internet.
Question 1:
Socrates died due to expanding his opinion to the younger generation. Not only did he question the words of the younger generation but he was going against their ideas by expressing the thought of expanding ones ideas on the gods themselves. In the beginning the example of Socrates tells his friend that he has been accused by a man named Meletus. He then goes on to say that Meletus has claimed the younger generation being corrupted and that he (Meletus) knew who the culprit was. During Socrates apology he acknowledges that men who come to listen to his theory enjoy the idea of questioning man but when asked to explain they do not know how. Because of this the individuals who are often put on the spot tend to release their anger out towards Socrates. In the end I believe Socrates died due to attempting to expand his belief.
Question 2: There is always conflict between religion and science due to a thin line in between. The book "The Great Mystery: Matter vs. Spirit" goes into detail on how matter is looked at and that there are so many aspects that can create one object and if the structure of the matter much like DNA were to be rearranged then the object would be different from the original idea. In the first part of "Mysterium Tremendum part one" a saying popped out which was "Technology is alchemy without superstition." This to me is a perfect way to represent the conflict because science is a method to find out how objects are constructed and how they may work, where religion is a feeling or superstition that one believes in.
