Today we watched a video and answered a question.
Explain why you think Socrates, and Sophists like Protagoras, would start questioning traditional beliefs at this particular point in history.
Socrates, and sophists like Protagoras, would start questioning traditional beliefs because the economy of Athens is only getting worse. With the plague, people were dying everyday and nothing could really be done to stop the plague. It had to run its course throughout Athens before anything could be done. Then, when Pericles died, people didn't know how to act since many people wanted to be the main person of power. People began to question their moral beliefs and whether what they were believing in was right and correct. After these events, people probably thought that the way they were living was not right and began to question their lives.
