Exile vs. Death

This moral dilemma worksheet invites students to consider whether Socrates should have chosen exile instead of death. Through four thought-provoking scenarios, learners evaluate philosophical, ethical, and historical implications of his decision. Each situation challenges students to defend their reasoning using evidence from Socratic philosophy and personal moral judgment. The exercise promotes discussion about integrity, justice, and the value of truth, encouraging higher-order reasoning and ethical debate.
