So we can all agree that Trasymachus did nothing wrong, right? He proved eloquently and clearly that justice is nothing more than arbitary decisions of the one in charge. Meanwhile Socrates just kept applying mental gymnastics and spouting complete baseless nonsense.

Maieutics isn't supposed to be just mental gymnastics. It's based on logical patterns and pointing out contradictions in one's argument. However Socrates seems really unconvincing when answering Thrasymachus, and this guy is supposed to be some infamous sophist.
All the time during debate Socrates argues about the idealized concept of Justice per se, and is unable to refute the basic argument of Thrasymachus, and that is practical usage of this concept in reality. He didn't explain how can an ideal work in real life as an ideal, without being distorted by human flaws.

Every history lover know how hard it can be in certain social situations as there are very few people who actually like history.
But would it be possible to convert a pleb into a history lover?

History is plebbeian as it gets. Just look at 90% of posts on this board.

History is a vast topic. Don't try to get people into the specific part you're interested in. This happens way too often with autists who are into military history, the most pleb of history.

Hello /his/
I need some help!
I'm in the process of writing my senior thesis, however I'm considering scrapping it because it's boring, I can't find enough sources, and the topic is not interesting enough for me to get motivated.
I instead decided to focus on WWI, however as most of you scholars out there know, a question for a thesis needs to be asked, addressed, and proved using respectable sources.
I need help finding a question about WWI to ask in a "why" or "how" form. The topic needs to be searchable from America and it also needs to be somewhat original.
Really need some opinions! Thanks!

Not all prisons are in America.
How many english soldiers were involved in the Hundred Years' War compared to french soldiers in both sides? Since the Plantagenet had almost half of France at some point, they must have used more french forces, no? It would make more sense to use french soldiers since you don't have to bring them to France.

The English had lost most of their French possessions before the start of the hundred year war. I think most of the English army was English.
>>
>>3397373
Well, all of the "English" side's nobility (knights and commanders) were French, so that's already that
Now for the lower troops, some were brought from England (notably archers) and some were from the original Plantaneget lands (which had never been under Valois control until the French King conquered them at the end, and thus had more loyalty toward their Plantagenet overlords than towrd the "Kingdom of France")

Didn't they also use a lot of flemish, dutch and german mercenaries?

Weak neighbors mostly, Poland-Lithuania was large but pretty passive as a military power, and an internal political system that was often hijacked by foreign powers being an elective monarchy.
Russia didn't enter the stage until the early 1700's, and once they were in a position to move in, Peter pushed Charles XII's shit in and took the Baltic for Russia.

more importantly how did they manage to lose it all even Finland?

Constantine was a Roman Emperor who took full control of the Empire.
He did not change the religion, Theodosius did, and Theodosius didn't gain his rule by conquest.
Both were Romans.
Mehmed II was an alien conqueror and not Roman at all. Case closed

ethics are a standard you live by
morality is what you find good and evil
one does not necessarily need to have a standard based on morality, but it helps
