The apology is a really interesting text that is in fact not an actual literal apology, it is rather Socrates’ defense against his accusers in an honest yet a sarcastic manner. As we previously learned in the oracle of delphi, no one is wiser than Socrates. In saying that, people back then had a different opinion about that. They had their excuse to falsely accuse Socrates as he acted in a strange way and brought forward odd and unusual thoughts. For instance, he walked around with no shoes, which is honestly pretty abnormal even for us now. In saying that, if Socrates existed in our era, I believe he would have been more accepted than at his time. This is due to the open mindedness of people and the freedom of expression rights existing all over the world nowadays. Of course, there would still be people disagreeing with him and his beliefs, but I guess he would have said what he wanted without a death threat like he did before.
