Thoughts on "The Socratic Method".

I feel that the Socratic Method is a very clever method that I have seen to extract another person's perspective of their reality. The dialogue was very interesting as it goes through a student who thinks will find happiness with a high status but will never be remembered for the little impact he made in his community. However, the teacher responds back to him by asking if he preferred to live a life of loneliness or to be loved by your own people. Since having a high status the student still responds with at least not being a loser.
