Although the official charges against Socrates are clear, there are deeper reasons he is being persecuted by his Athenian enemies. What are these deeper reasons, and what lessons can you draw from your interpretation about the troubles people face when they are committed to speaking the truth?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the official charges against Socrates are clear, there are deeper reasons he is being persecuted by his Athenian enemies.

The deeper reasons why Socrates was persecuted were the following. Powerful people from Athens felt threatened. Socrates was a wise man that had a big influence over the young Athenian students, and that was risky for the powerful ones.

Socrates taught his students to use logic to think so they could never be manipulated. And that was another big risk for the powerful ones. He empowered his students to believe in them, not in the Greek Gods.

That is why he was accused of impiety and for corrupting the young Athenians.

The lesson I can draw from my interpretation about the troubles people face when they are committed to speaking the truth is that weak people, I mean insecure, felt that the truth can be a threat to the way things are or the power they exert.

The worst thing for the powers that want to control and exert influence is another individual who teaches other people to use their own mind to think logically because by doing that, people can be conscious of inequities and injustices and can rebel against the established power.
