Patricians and Plebeians

To be a Patrician you had to be from a certain family and you had a to be born a patrician. They were only a small percentage of the Roman population. They held all power. The Plebeians made up all the rest of the Roman society. They were farmers, craftsmen, laborers, and soldiers of Rome. They were just normal hard working citizens of Rome. The Greeks had more of an influence on the Plebeians. They gave them more strength.

My essay would be this: Explain what Socrates did in order to focus more on critical thinking.

Plato

1. The Forms are abstract, perfect, unchanging concepts or ideals that transcend time and space. They exist in the Realm of Forms. 2. The three groups of Plato's ideal society are, the producers, the auxiliaries, and the guardians 3. Plato's thoughts on women were that even though they were women they would still get an education. But he also believed that women were physically weaker than men. He established a law that women would be equal to men if they had training. 4. The Noble Lie is supposed to endanger in them devotion for their city and instill in them belief that they should invest their best energies into promoting what they judge to be the city's best interests.

Archetecture

This first image is my favorite piece of greek architecture. It is called the Parthenon. It is white and has many columns that come down. It looks very large but also very worn down. This shows a part of a building but it really drew my eye because of the shapes in it. I liked the cutout shapes in it. Also the Greeks used the same material for most of their builds.

Greek Theatre

Image
1. There were three types of drama they used, comedy, satyr, and plays 2. I have dance concerts at John Carroll and we have to have many rehearsals to make sure that we don't mess up for the real show because you have practice the lighting, costumes, music, stage props. There are many thing that go into a performance that are very important to practice before the real performance. 3. This is an example of what a Greek Theatre looks like. It almost looks like an area because the seats go down and into the stage. Also it looks like it is outside which is unusual.
