Today in class, the class sat there
and socialized, while Mr. Schick helped students get caught up with setting up
their blog. We were also told that once we were successful with giving our URL
to Mr. Schick, that it is unnecessary to e-mail him the URL again. We were also
assigned to look up terms listed on Mr. Schick’s website.
Arête- fulfillment in potential or function, the art of living up to
one’s full potential
Polis- it literally means city or
civilization
Socrates- a Greek philosopher, who
was renown for his contribution to Western ethics
The death of Socrates- Socrates was
sentenced to die by drinking Hemlock after being accused of corrupting the youth of Athens with views different to that
of the city-state of Athens.
The Socratic Method: A form of
inquiry and debate between individuals with different viewpoints based on
asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking.
The date 508 BC- Cleisthenes grants
full rights to all Athenian free men
Agora- a central place within Greek
city-states
If you were called an idiot by the ancient Greeks, they are calling you a non-politician.
