Agora- gathering place, market place, the center of life. exp: Athens, Greece
Polis- political entity ruled by the bodies of citizens
508 BC- first democracy was formed
I learned, that was the first time citizens revolted against their rulers/kings/pharaohs
since then:
- U.S. (1776)
- France (1789)
- China (1851 & 1949)
- Russia (1917)
- Iran (1979)
- Egypt (2011)
Synergy is a cycle of Democracy and Excellence. When you have democracy you achieve excellence by working together as a country to vote for who we think will run the country best.
Also learned about Socrates
Socrates was a man who heroically fought in the Peloponnesian War. He had a working class background and battle field experiences which is probably why he viewed the world in the way he did. He thought that everyone rich or poor should be treated equally. He would ask students various questions to understand their beliefs and knowledge instead of pushing in what he thought was right. This leads to how people use the scientific method today, you start with you're hypothesis and then take it step by step from there.
