Why Curiousity Doesn T Kill The Cat Analysis

I believe that proverb was made as a warning. A warning to people who are excessively curious; It may to some extent lead someone into a dangerous situation like the character in the short story below Curiosity Once Killed a Cat by Donald M. Jenkins:
One night I had nothing to do. Wandering to the medicine cabinet I saw a bottle one inch high. Wondering what could be in such a small bottle I uncorked it and put it to my nose. Oh!

Socrates drew conclusions from what he’d heard and later on life it became more useful during his trail. He was on trial for corrupting the youth by asking questions and going against the Greek gods believes in regards to power. On trial, he performed The Apology, to the judges who didn’t take it as an apology but more as defense statements. Intellectual curiosity is shown in that piece of writings because it’s about how he doesn’t agree with the ways of the people of Athens and ways they could change. He adds in information about the answers he had received from people about that society and tries to prove his innocence. The Socratic Method of Teaching is another example of how he was intellectually curious. That system of education focuses on providing students with questions and the truths in answers. This teaching style promotes critical
