DUE WED 4/18 Plato Reading and Blog

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

A:
I think the society proposed is absurd. Their society proposes that you can only be one 'character', for instance a action actor has to be a action actor and can not also be a horror actor. Socrates think s that you can only be one thing because you would not be able to work both jobs as well as if you only had one. I think that you should be able to do both as long as you do them well so that they can contribute to the community, not everyone can do two completely separate things which i can understand (like being able to use a mac and a PC, lol).
