Micheal Moore and Socrates

Michael Moore and Socrates share similarities with how they live their lives. Socrates and Michael Moore both believe so passionately in a certain "lifestyle" or set of beliefs, and question the opposing viewpoint. Socrates questions his accusers using philosophical terms and ideas, while Michael Moore uses more blunt, drastic methods. Although they both question the opposing sides in different ways, they both hold the opposite side accountable for it's beliefs. In Dialogues of Plato, Socrates believes the people should have the right to think outside the government. He often voices his opinion, even if it is not the "popular" one. Micheal Moore is the same way, except less "soft spoken." He often very bluntly voices his opinions. Both men are passionate and question the opposing viewpoint, Micheal Moore about his liberal views, and Socrates about the people and their rights.
