Republic Assignment 4/18

1) What is your reaction to the ending of the section? What is good and/or bad about the type of society outlined by Socrates?

I think that Socrates ideas will be bad for society and would put them into a kind of state similar to what was protrayed in Fahrenheit 451. By censoring things in society you are taking away part of the human mind that allows everybody to make their own opinions and decisions on topics. By taking this right away, you are dumbing down society and numbing them.
