today in class we learned important words and events that happened. that are important to the Greeks. one of those words is agora which is a public open space used for assemblies markets, and center of spiritual and political practices. another word is polis which is a city in ancient Greece, especially as considered in its ideal form for philosophical purposes and run by citizens. I learned that in 508 BC Kilisthenis came to power, he placed the foundation of Athens democracy. I also learned about Socrates. I learned that he was a great philosopher and Greek philosophy was developed by him. Socrates later went on trial for corrupting Athens youth and was found guilty and sentenced to death. Socrates also has a method called the Socratic method which was the arriving of truth by continually questioning ,obtaining answers, and criticizing the answers. lastly in 508 BC it was the first time in recorded history that people revolted against their rulers. this lead to many other revolts. I learned many new things in class today.
today class was pretty easy. we went over the terms about the independent states. we went over what each of the topics has to do with and how they can be different in different areas and what makes an area a State. they are important things for the State to be a good place to live and an easier way to live. it is also helpful because it can help you learn a lot about a State. also we learned and started a project about the type of government and there government leaders. tis can be helpful with understanding and knowing more about how countries are. this is because we can see how the government is run and it is helpful to know who run these countries.
