Today in class we did our first mini research. We
researched some things that were put up on the board. For example there was
Agora, Polis, the importance of the year 508 BC for the ancient greeks, Socrates,
death of Socrates, the Socrates method, and others I didn’t get to. Agora is a
public open space used for assemblies and markets. Polis is a city in ancient Greece,
especially as considered in its ideal form for philosophical purposes. The
reason why the year on 508 BC is extremely important to the ancient greeks is
because that day democracy is introduced in Athens by Cleisthenes. He established
a constitution and is often called the “father of Athenian Democracy”. Also
people in this year revolted against their ruler. Socrates was a greek philosopher.
And we had to research the death of Socrates. He was convicted of corrupting the
youth of Athens and introducing strange gods and was sentenced to death by
drinking. And the last thing ive gotten to was the socratic method. It’s a form
of cooperative argumentative dialogue.

On this site, it shows people who need help with their lives.

On this site, it shows people who need help with their lives. Here the people say the amount they need and you can have the choice to lend them money. You can lend as much money as you want. And you will always be paid back the amount you lent. But as we were looking and exploring this site it made me sad when people only had a few hours and they were so close to their final amount! Because when people don’t make their goal they have to restart!! But I do ...
