Essay #2

If Elbert Hubbard and Socrates time traveled to the present, they would recognize a lot of different things. They would realize how lazy people are today than they were back when they were alive. Elbert Hubbard would realize how people try to procrastinate so they don't have to do the things that they are asked to do. Most people today don't do what they are asked to do without asking questions about it or somehow they will try to get out of it. But today, there are also some people that would rather just get their job done quickly instead of asking questions. Socrates would find out how some people don't stand up for what they believe. Some people just go along with whatever someone else is saying instead of standing up and saying what they believe in like Socrates did when he was alive. But Socrates would also realize how some people do stand up for what they believe in and fight for what they want. I think they would be very surprised to find out how people ask so much differently than they did back when Elbert Hubbard and Socrates were alive.

  1. Very good point about Hubbard's realization. Do you think Socrates would be happy that we have a democracy? 24/25.
