Consequences of Questioning Answer Key

In this cause-and-effect activity, students analyze how Socrates’ teachings and actions influenced Athenian society. Each cause represents something Socrates did, such as questioning leaders or emphasizing virtue over wealth, and students must write corresponding consequences in their own words. Learners explore both the positive and negative impacts of his philosophical challenges, linking ideas to social and political outcomes. The exercise builds analytical thinking and reinforces understanding of how critical questioning can shape cultural and moral development.
