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.

Hey Adam,
ReplyDeleteWe just finished learning about Greece in my World History class! It's an awesome and interesting topic! We divided up into polis' and I was in Athens, I'd love to read the final product when you're done! I'd probably know some stuff off of my prior knowledge to the topic.
