Classical order

civic state . At one hand Oresteia as a tragedy endorses democracy and Orestes as an immediate ideal upholder of it but it also makes us realise how crucial it is to get rid of rulers like Clytaemmestra , Aegisthus and Agamemnon to establish law and order in the society.This shift from rulers like Clytaemnestra ,Agamemnon and Aegisthus to Orestes itself demonstrates the shift towards a Democratic Athens.The necessity of this shift is explicit in Chorus’s…

Athenian democracy was successful in many ways. For example, it provided for the people. Democracy effectively provided goods for the masses and met their needs. In addition, Athens owed much of its power to its navy, which was largely serviced by the poor thetes. The democratic system rewarded the poor laborers for their service to Athens. Athenian democracy was also successful in that it was generally very stable. Of all the democracies in ancient Greece, Athens’ was the most radical.…

A ball, and a feather dropped at the same height will hit the ground at the same time when placed in a vacuum space. This is because acceleration of motion is the same for both object, and in this experiment, we are going to calculate accelerated motion using inclined planes. In this experiment, we will see whether “distance traveled is directly proportional to the square of the time”, and “if speed of a falling object depend only on the height from which it falls”. This experiment will give us…

Classical conditioning Pierce to stimuli together repeatedly eliciting a specific response until the association between both stimuli is imprinted so much that only one of the stimulus is required to elicit the same response. People condition themselves in regards to certain tasks or routines to help deal with their emotion.

Social learning theory is about the process of interactions between children’s thoughts, feelings and behaviours and the surrounding environment. Social learning…

many of the same issues and concerns over political philosophy arise in both their work- although with very different views. Despite this, both Plato and Mill agree that the ‘tyranny of the majority’ is to be feared. Plato was a philosopher in classical Greece, and the founder of the Academy in Athens. He was Aristotle’s outstanding student; however where he focused on the ideal form of state, Aristotle was more interested in the best possible form of state. Plato believed that the primary…

In the article, “Public Speech and the Power of the People in Democratic Athens” by Josaih Ober, the following is stated “classical Athens provides a particularly well-documented historical example of a dynamically stable democratic culture in which a large and socially diverse citizenry directly ruled a complex society that was much too large for a politics of ‘face-to-face’…
