In Japan, young people are indifferent to the politics, but they don't know it will directly change the daily life. According to The Japan Times, "Young people are playing into politicians’ hands because indifference equals no resistance to whatever lawmakers have up their sleeves, Kohno said, calling it a vicious circle.“Taxes could be raised before people even know it,” he said.Yuya Watase, a policy planner and board member of the Policy Process Institute in Tokyo, said that if the opinions of the young are not reflected in politics, they may inherit the burden of the snowballing budget deficit".
I imagine how difficult they connect each other when they don't have enough tools as the Internet, or even they don't do telephones, to communicate with the remote people to sympathize the ideology, therefore I respect Delian League as the proof of the will of aggressiveness.

    The final days of democracy in Greece are in fact the story of how Athens lived its last century as an independent state. The moment of fall has to do with its time when it shined the most over Greece: at the height of power as leader of Athenian league and leader of Greek culture. The city-state pattern of Greece created a reality of competition, individuality and community centered exclusively around each political community. That is why Greece never reached a national consciousness, even that there were moments of unity when all Greeks acted as a single body (see Persian wars).…

    An Analysis of the Ancient Greek Polis The illustrious philosopher, Aristotle, provides a vantage point to the practicality of a polis in antiquity by defining it as a “... partnership finally composed of several villages…” that has “...attained virtually complete self-sufficiency and thus while it comes into existence for the sake of life, it exists for the good of life” (Camp). In a versatile attempt to foster a sense of community among citizens, the conception of the polis set into motion the development of organized society and political ideologies, further shaping our understanding of Greek anthropology in antiquity.…

    The majority of the youth in California have not been active and turning out to vote, while the state and county elections greatly affects them.

    Introduction The steady decline of youth voter turnout in Canada calls for drastic action to reverse this trend and engage youth with their civic responsibilities to ensure a strong voter turnout that will ultimately arbitrate the health of Canada’s democratic system in the future (Elections Canada, 2011). Political education within formal institutions is perhaps the most penetrative opportunity to reach youth across Canada (Canada’s Public Policy Forum, 2012). Despite this opportunity to access the minds of young Canadians in their most impressionable years, critics frequently accuse the government of not providing an adequate focus on political education within the required school curriculum. With a focus on the Kantian ethics of “means…

    Athenian Democracy Essay

    The development of Athenian democracy was influenced by complex social, economic, and military issues, not to mention the obvious political aspect. However, even among these complex set of factors, one aspect in the development of Athenian democracy that stands out and affects all three sets of issues is warfare.

The Greek style of warfare also tended to be fairly homogenous throughout the city-states as well, with an infantry formed from hoplites, and in the fifth century and later, a navy.…
