1. Why is Socrates' Crito still relevant in contemporary culture?
2. The search terms I used were "Crito" and "Socrates" and "cultural impact". The search terms did not work because the search engine did not recognize the word Crito, asking if I meant to spell other words.
3. When I removed "culutural impact" from the search terms, I got 9 results in the search.
4. I received 9 articles for my final results. I believe I had the right amount of results. I believe 5-10 results were sufficient enough to answer my question.
5. One particular result answered my question very well. It said that "in the end, after doing all we can to convince our compatriots of their moral and political obtuseness, we owe allegiance and gratitude to the culture that nurtured us as critics".
6. When I used "or" instead of "and" in between "Crito" and "Socrates", I received 687 results. The results in this search were much less helpful because I received much more results about Socrates rather than Crito.

Good question!
Good search strategies and analysis, too. You identified the dilemma - if you use "and," you can sometimes narrow your results too much, but if you use "or," your results may not necessarily be that relevant or the relevant results may be buried in a lot of "noise," that is irrelevant results.
