Ancient Greece

Ancient Greece Notes

Over this past week we focused on Greece. We spoke of how it was the first true democracy and how advanced it was. Greece allowed the citizens to vote on matters and ultimately decide what happens. During this time, people felt safer speaking their minds and so came Socrates. Socrates was a philosopher who was respected by many. He spoke about many different matters and invented some very wise quotes such as "The unexamined life is not worth living!". He said this because he truly believed it as do many. If you don't take risks and explore and go outside of your comfort zone your life will be boring. I couldn't tell you about those times I studied all night, but I sure can tell you about that time I partied until the sun came up. Socrates died for his teachings and showed how if you really believe in something you will put your life on the line for it.
