Socrates' unexpected response to the argument shows his commitment to following moral principles rather than fleeing from unjust punishment. Crito must now decide if he should respect Socrates' decision to accept his fate or try to help him escape.
I strive to quickly resolve any arguments I have with others.
Socrates chose not to delay drinking the poison because he believed in following the law and accepted the punishment handed to him by the court. He also viewed death as a release from the suffering of old age and saw the opportunity to teach through his own death.
Socrates did not directly claim that people know right from wrong but choose to do evil. Instead, he focused on the idea that people do wrong because of ignorance and lack of understanding about what is truly good. Socrates believed that once people gain knowledge and wisdom, they would naturally pursue what is right.
No, an argument is considered valid only if the conclusion logically follows from the premises. If the conclusion is false, it means there is an issue with the soundness of the argument rather than just the validity.
Socrates believed that choosing exile would be an admission of guilt, which would go against his principles of living a just life based on truth and integrity. He feared that leaving Athens would mean abandoning his duty to challenge and educate the citizens, even if it meant facing death for his beliefs.
What writig style did Plato choose to write about Socrates?

Yes but if it's a surprise or unexpected whoever happens to be with you at the time is who will end up sharing it with you since there will be no time to choose anyone.

Abraham Lincoln said this in response to a young army officer who was in a sharp argument with a fellow soldier. Lincoln was trying to tell this officer to choose his battles..."Better give your path to a dog than be bitten by him in contesting the right." Winning an argument ("killing the dog") will not heal the wounds ("cure the bite") that it can cause.
Molly Ivans. And, much earlier: Gautama, the Buddha. He called Ignorance Avijja. Earlier than that, was Socrates. Socrates believed that the means to the good life (summum bonum = the ultimate good) was a beautiful, or virtuous soul. His argument is that we choose evil because we think it will be good for us. We rob the bank because we think more money will be good for us. But to Socrates, robbing the bank taints your soul. We sin because we are ignorant of the real means to a good life - virtue. To Socrates, there would be no evil if everyone realized that virtue is the only means to the good life. If we could stick together the end and the means - there would be no evil.
Of course. That is what health insurance is for. It is primarily for unexpected hospital stays, but you still have to pay a percentage depending on the plan you choose.

Socrates, the ancient Greek philosopher, was sentenced to death in 399 BC in Athens for corrupting the youth and impiety. He was given the option to choose exile or drink poison hemlock, and he chose the latter as a way to uphold his principles and teachings.

"We settled the argument with a compromise - she could have the front seat if I could choose the movie."
