Essay #2

I think Socrates would say/think that he's glad to see that his way of teaching did affect people and that people are questioning what they think. Socrates would be interested in the things that people were able to create in American by questioning limits and knowledge. Socrates would also say that people in America recognized what he did to ancient Greek. Socrates was very loyal to Greek and he believed in the people, so he would be pleased to know that people in America are still learning about ancient Greek after so many years. If Elbert Hubbard came to America in 2012, I think he would not be surprised about how people are in America. In his essay, A Message to Garcia, he indirectly described how people in America respond today towards work and helping others. Hubbard would be disappointed but accepting the fact that America is the way that it is towards doing more than expected. Elbert Hubbard could tell that humanity was becoming lazier and finding more excuses as time went on, so he would be able to understand why people in American do what they do. However, I think he would be impressed with how far America has come since he was alive.
