Introduction
It has come to my notice that religion is a vital element and all
human beings are naturally and deeply religious in one way or
the other. In this respect, my project will focus on songs which
are among the characteristics of any religion in all societies
across the globe. Over the past few years, technology has been
the driving element or force in all sectors of the society and we
live in a global village which is secularized and to a larger
extend people communicate important messages to other people
through the use of songs.
Relationship between songs and the letter written by Martin
Luther King to the clergymen
By and large my project (songs) is closely linked to “My
Dear Fellow Clergymen” a letter written by the late Martin
Luther King Junior on 16th April 1963. In his letter, Martin
Luther tells us that he was in Birmingham because of a number
of injustices that were being witnessed in the society, thus just
like prophets of 8th century B.C he came to this town to
criticize these injustices. Some of these crimes or injustices that
were being witnessed in Birmingham included: unresolved
bombings on the homes and churches of the Negro community
living in this state, racism among other hostile conditions these
people have been subjected into. As a matter of fact, these
injustices have been and it is still being witnessed in different
states within U.S and other countries across the globe whereby a
certain race views itself to be more superior to the other races.
The black race has been on the receiving end especially in terms
of racial discrimination and the only way to fight for equality
between all human beings in all societies more so the western

2. society is to preach peace and enlighten people that all human
beings are the same. Technically, religion has been the unifying
factor for his case however cases of racial discrimination still
persist irrespective of the call to the end of these injustices
being practiced by a certain group of people (Luther, 1963).
It is quite evident from Martin Luther letter to the clergy
the whole world has waited for more than 340 years in order for
the constitutional and Go-given rights of all human beings
especially those of the Africans and those of the Asians to be
implemented. Africans and Asians are proving that, just like the
white community who is very dominant they can take a
competitive advantage in the political, social and economic
limelight. All these turn of events have been and they are
always being driven by the use of songs whether secularized or
those used in praising the creator of the universe. Without any
doubt, we have just and unjust laws and the aim of these laws
are to coerce people to follow it regardless of how harsh they
are. In this respect, the only way human beings can save it from
being subjected to these laws is to create an enlightened society
in which all people are taught about their rights irrespective of
his/her position in the society. To achieve this, then songs will
be the main avenue where all people of all ages, races and class
will be made to have an open mind that sees the reality and the
need to respect others in the society (Longman, 2001).
To conclude, my project is a wide subject of discussion
considering that change is inevitable and the way in which
technology is revolutionizing the whole world, which has been
changed into a global village. From a philosophical angle we
can attest that we have to accept change and change comes in
different ways, thus for this case of ours the driving force that
brings these changes in our respective societies is different
songs whether religious, secular or any other category or group
of songs that is used by members of different societies.

Our project is the conversation between Simmias, Cebes and
Socrates about the misfortunes they face in life and the better
life after death. They discuss the relationship between the soul
and the physical body and the control they have over each other.
An explanation of how the project relates to the selected
reading.
The conversation presents various arguments of how human
beings can live without minding their misfortunes and how to
solve them but instead to visualize the future vision of good life
without misfortunes after death.
The project itself.
In Phaedo 84C- 88B, Socrates went silent after completing his
argument while Simmias and Cebes continued talking together
in low voices. When Socrates learns about this, he encourages
them to talk louder then, Simmias reminds Socrates that they
have some problems with his argument, but they are afraid of
interrupting him to his present misfortune. Socrates
consequently feels that Simmias' objections are amusing, and

4. feels that Simmias must be thinking that Socrates has less
vision of the future than a swan.
According to Socrates, swans often sing loudly and sweetly
when they are about to die because, back in their mind they are
sure that better fortune that looms for them after death, and
therefore, he is self-assured that he will have the good life and
fair well after death hence ignores his current misfortunes and
urges Simmias and Cebes to tender their doubts.
The conversion proceeds and Simmias proposes an analogy
about the relationship that exist between the soul and the
physical body and the relationship that exist between the
attunement of the strings in a musical gadget and the gadget
itself. Socrates admits the argument and ask Cebes to present
his argument too. At this instant, they are discussing how soul
of human being survives death because it existed before the
birth of physical body. Socrates argues that the body undergoes
constant changes but the soul remakes it and if the soul dies, the
body can no longer be remade and therefore rots.
Simmias' and Cebes' objections to Socrates arguments about the
relationship between the physical body and the soul are viewed
extremely different and he takes much of the dialogue in
responding to the objection. He is very convivial and
encourages the protestations. He does not impose his opinion on
Simmia and Cebes but ratjer gives them time to think about his
arguments (Brian, 2011).
The theory of recollection, states that there is difference made
between the sub-conscious awareness of forms that is
immediately forgotten at birth, and the induced awareness of
forms developed thereafter. This can be used to give an account
or explanation of the human knowledge. Therefore, it is through
proper dialect of questions, counter arguments and objection
that proper understanding of human knowledge can be
understood (Brian, 2011).
The Phaedo’s gives two significant philosophical theories such
as the theory of forms and the immortality of souls and the
intersection of the two constitute a central importance, and

5. particularly, the argument on whether there are Forms of Soul in
which human souls take part. This argument significant because
souls have much emphasized attention in Plato’s writing.
According to my opinion, I would support for the interpretation
that there are essential forms contained in the Phaedo, because
the examples put forward and the interpretation seems to
support the fact. (Brian, 2011)
