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 in class we watched a video about global health. we learned that the world used to have a very low income and life expectancy. the life expectancy is the x-axis and it goes from 25-75 years. the y-axis is the income and it starts at 400-40,0000.400 means they at sick and poor. 40,000 means they are rich and healthy. the life expectancy in 1810 was under 40 yrs. in every country besides U.K. and Netherlands. when a countries industrialization increases so does the life expectancy and income.in 1948 the graph was as wide spread as it has ever been and there is countries that there life expectancy is over 75 and has an income average of 40,000 and there is some areas that have a life expectancy just over 25 and the only make 400 dollars of income. I liked watching the video because it helped me understand the graph a lot more and understand what we where talking about a lot more.

today in class we took a test on the world leaders. the test was easier than I thought it was going to be. i thought I was going to have to know the type of government they have and i couldn't remember what those where. The part about the special facts about the leaders was the hardest part and i think i did good on that. but there was some i really didn't know and I'm pretty sure i got them wrong. but i think all together i did pretty good on the test. also i was very stressed because i had an F in the class and you still hadn't got my project so i thought i was going to fail. but i was just sending it to the wrong email. so i think i will be able to get my grade up to and A with those two assignments turned in. I liked this class a lot and I'm going to miss it next semester.
