Solution: Socrates!!!!!



Kastenbaum, Robert. "Socrates." Macmillan Encyclopedia of Death and Dying. Ed. Robert Kastenbaum. Vol. 2. New York: Macmillan Reference USA, 2002. 769-772. Gale Virtual Reference Library. Web. 26 Mar. 2010.





The author is Kastenbaum, Robbert. He wrote about Socrates' life including his family, his thought, and his death. According to his wrting, Socrates' midwifery is from his mother. His mother was a midwife, and he came up with an idea. Midwife helps a pregnancy give a birth. From the viewpoint, Midwifery means that teachers are people who help others to deliver themseilves of their conceptions". I thought it will help my research because my research is about finding out Korean education's weaknesses and find solutions from greek education philosophers. By surveying Socrates and other philosophers, I want to find solutions from them like Midwifery, inteelecualism, or Moderation.

1 year ago, I decided to study abroad for my English, but I didn't decide where to go. When I was young, I wanted to go England because I was very interested in England accent. By the way, there were some problems. There was my brother in America already, so if I go to the England, it would cost too much money. Also, although I can learn England accent, we don't use England accent in Korea. It will be nothing. So, I decided to get some advice from my English teacher.I learned English from him for 6 years, so he knows me very well.

I visited him and asked some advice. He said that America would be good because there is my brother and it can be lonely if I go the England alone. Also, if I go the England, it will cost a lot and because we don't use England accent in Korea, it can be a just travel. In addition, because my brother is America, I can spend time more time by this chance. After I live with him this chance, there will be no more chance to live with him.

After I visit him, I thought a lot of time. Considering his advice and other envorinment, I decided to come here. After all, I'm very happy to be here. I met good friends like you and I can spend time with my brother.
Still, I keep in touch with him. I hope he will give advice when I have some problems.

Interesting Research Question!!!




My major is education, but because I was just a freshman in Korea, so I don't know much about my major. I just learned about 'The Study Of Language', England literature, and history of education. I choose Greek philosphers as my topic, because I think greek philosophers influenced today's education and they are very important to study for out future's education.


When I find 'greek philosophers' in wikipedia, there are many philosophers like Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates. These philosophers are very famous and important people in education. So I decide to study these people.


I thought 3 questions related my topic.


1. What influences of Socrates, Plato, Aristotle on today's education?

2. Which thought of Greek philosophers fit to Korean education?

3. What is the differenes beween Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle?
