topic discussion and times

I’m researching ancient Greece and the rights and responsibilities of the people who lived there.  I decided to research ancient Greece because I like ancient Greece.  I like the architecture and find the time period very interesting.  I found that only the male citizens of Athens got to enjoy and participate in democracy.  Other social classes like women and slaves had to live with the decisions of the men.  I learned that women were mainly responsible for child birth and the up keeping of the home.  I thought it was interesting that skilled slaves could earn a salary which could be saved and used to buy their freedom.


My topic is the rights and responsibilities of the citizens of ancient Athens.  I wanted to know how social class affected a person’s rights and responsibilities.  I believe that there was little of a state government because it was formed by the voting of Athenian males.  Other social classes had little to no say in government and had to deal with the choices made by the free, native born, male citizens.  From my research I have learned that women were mainly responsible for child birth and the up keeping of the home, and skilled slaves could earn a salary which could be saved and used to buy their freedom.

student prompt

Deven: Write about one interpretation of evil and then write about how you see this interpretation.

The Socratic view believes that there is one evil which is ignorance.  I feel that this is only half correct.  I feel that this is only half correct in the sense that some people are just mean like Roger from Lord of the Flies.  Some people just enjoy pain and know exactly what it means and have a complete understanding of their actions and their effect.  The thing is that their actions are limited somewhat by their understanding.

            I believe that the kind of evil this applies to is people like Hitler who ignorantly killed hundreds of Jews in concentration camps because he saw them as a flaw.  He ignorantly caused the death of many people because of his own disagreements with them.

My topic is on ancient Greece and the rights and responsibilities of the citizens of ancient Greece.  I am mainly focusing on Athens.  The responsibilities of the citizens who lived in Athens in their day to day life.  How their government affected their beliefs and their views.  How important voting was to the average citizen. 

In my research to do list I need to do a scholarly search and a google advanced search.  I need to search the databases for a source.  I also need to find a primary source.
