Definitions of words part 1

Agora was the central marketplace in most of the ancient Greek city states. Usually the agora was located in the center of the towns so it was clearly visible and easy to access. They would have discussions there and it was used for formal and important meetings.
Polis is a small state in Greece that was originated by the natural divisions of the country by mountains and the sea, and from the original local tribe nd cult divisions.
During 508 B.C. Klisthenis came to power, placed the foundations of Athenian democracy with some serious reforms. People rose up against their leaders and overcame them.
Socrates was a Greek philosopher and he was credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy, and as being the first moral philosopher of the Western ethical tradition of thought.
Socrates made the Athenian leaders angry, and after his trial he was found guilty of corrupting the young Athenians and of impiety. He was sentenced to die by drinking hemlock which is poisonous and kills you.
The Socratic method is named after Socrates and was used to improve human beings by increasing their understanding of information.
Idiot- That means that you were self centered and only worried about yourself. You didn't go to the agora and have meetings, you s=just did stuff on your own.

My review on the presentation

Yesterday we did the presentation on our given countries. My group which consisted of Chris, Hannah, Banks, Tom, and myself; we had the Country Kenya. Kenya as I said and as Hannah said, they are a developing African-American nation with a very high unemployment rate of 40 percent. I did the slide on energy and electricity access which was one of the factors of Kenya issues and problems. They had no one working in their factories and that was why they weren't producing any crude oil, and that was part of the reason of why their unemployment rate was very high. Over 13 million people within the population didn't have access to electricity. I think that I personally did a good job on the presentation, I gave a lot of information on my topic, and I clearly stated the energy problem which was the main part of the rubric So I would give myself a 97-100 because I did everything like giving information and stating the problem right, but I had to look at my note card a couple times

Group presentation Notes

What is one main issue with energy in Kenya? In Kenya they have a huge number of people who don’t have access to electricity. That number is over 13 million people out of their population. Thats around 44 percent of their people. How does this affect the country?                           This affects the country because that means that over 13 million people don’t have access to cell phones, toilets, computers, or even cars. These are all objects that in many countries almost everyone has, and we take for granted. These are two of the paragraphs that will be on my slide about energy and electricity. My group is doing the country Kenya, which is an African-American country who is developing and struggling with their economy. I am writing about what some of the issues are and how they can be resolved
