Plato

1)     Plato's definition of art and good life is not what i had in mind. He thinks that art is something that can be distracted to people
it is not a very good thing to see for the educated mind. But the thing about it is that he is somehow right about it, he is only thinking
the bad stuff that can stumulate the mind of people. although we know for the fact that it is just for entertainment or for the pleasure
of the eyes, plato's thoughts about it is the darkness and the bad influence that can get the idea of being bad of evil.
    He's view about a good life however for me i agree with him. Although I still think that a person's view of a good life is his
view of living. It has no standard meaning, it's for one's own idea of a life. I don't really critique much.

2)     Plato is right about one thing, art can somehow influence the minds of others. It can poison the minds by the songs nowadays
about sex, drugs and all the bad things that they sing about. The dirty magazine that people read, it can definitely give a huge impact
to people especially to minors. That's a really bad thing and this is the time which somehow i agree to Plato's view of art.
