Black Panther Vs Beyonce Essay

We can actually take it to something more recent. The Beyoncé half-time show at the Super Bowl, There is a lot of controversy dealing with the similarities of the Black Panthers and Beyoncé performance. What does it matter if she was giving a tribute to the black panthers? Most likely it was because she is black. I bring up race into this situation because years ago rock bands will have confederate flags hanging in the background while preforming. No one really cared but everyone seems to care now. Beyoncé is a very powerful figure in the black community. So, by her taking a stance for black equality it makes other black people want to stand up and fight for all the right things we deserve.

This is one of the objects were I may disagree with Socrates and lean more to Callicles. I don’t think anyone can honestly say they will kill themselves before they kill someone else that they don’t even know. No one will ever admit that they would say themselves first, and I don’t think anyone can make their final decision until they're in that situation. However, Callicles is saying there is nothing to think about. The decision is one that is easy to make; save yourself first. Socrates viewpoint is similar to Ethan Hawk in the movie "Training Day". "Training Day" is a movie about a new cop that is first out of the police academy. So, fresh out the academy he was partnered with very respected, successful cop name Alonzo played by Denzel Washington. To make a long story short Denzel Washington was a corrupted cop and he tired to corrupt Ethan just like he was. One scene of the movie Denzel and Ethan went to a criminal house and took millions of dollars from this criminal. This is were the Socrates comparison comes from. Ethan refused to kill this criminal because he was all about being a good cop and actually making the community better. Later Ethan was put in the situation either to kill this criminal or to die himself. Ethan refused to do someone else harm and risked his life to save someone else's even though the criminal got killed

Journalist Danyel Smith, in her article, “When Whitney Hit the High Note,” examines the topic of Whitney Houston’s iconic 1991 Super Bowl performance of “The Star Spangled Banner,” making the point that because Houston’s rendition took place in a different world, her bold alterations to the structure and style of the national anthem were exceedingly influential for people of color. Smith supports this claim by comparison, followed by description, and finally causal analysis. Using an evocative tone, the author’s purpose is to illuminate the manner in which Houston’s performance influenced black America, in order to induce society into unashamedly fighting injustices head-on, just as Whitney Houston did. Smith begins her evaluation of Houston’s performance by using comparison to highlight the differences between society today and society in 1991, and how these differences altered the way she influenced America.

(Modus Ponens) Socrates is like Jesus: both of them did not believe in gods of that time and both were just speaking to society, but in those speeches were hidden the great idea. Like Jesus, Socrates chose to die for his idea, not surrender norms of the society. Both men had their students, who recorded their words during their life or after death.

Socrates was a greek philosopher who found himself in trouble with his fellow citizens and court for standing his grounds on his new found beliefs from his studies about philosophical virtue, justice, and truth. In “Apology” written by Plato, Socrates defended himself in trial, not with the goal of escaping the death sentence, but with the goal of doing the right thing and standing for his beliefs. With this mindset, Socrates had no intention of kissing up to the Athenians to save his life. Many will argue that Socrates’ speech was not very effective because he did not fight for his life, he just accepted the death sentence that he was punished with. In his speech he said, “But now it’s time to leave, time for me to die and for you to live.”

Socrates believes that justice benefits the just, but also benefits the city (other people) too. He is faced with a seemingly simple choice, escape Athens or remain in prison and be sentenced to death. Socrates’ central argument against escaping his circumstances is twofold.

It is impious to bring violence to bear against your mother or father; it is much more so to use it against your country.” What we say in reply, Crito, that the laws speak the truth, or not?” (TDS pg 51,52). By breaking the law, Socrates would be disobeying the laws as a citizen, like a child disobeying his parent. By escaping he would have been doing an impious act that would affect his standing with the gods.

In Apology, Socrates faces possible execution as he stands trial in front of his fellow Athenian men. This jury of men must decide whether Socrates has acted impiously against the gods and if he has corrupted the youth of Athens. Socrates claims in his defense that he wants to live a private life, away from public affairs and teachings in Athens. He instead wants to focus on self-examination and learning truths from those in Athens through inquiry. Socrates argues that "a [man] who really fights for justice must lead a private, not a public, life if [he] is to survive for even a short time" (32a).
