Greek Documents (Pg 27)

Source:greeka.com What problems might have prevented Greece from having one united empire? ___________________________________________________________________________________________

Direct Democracy The isolated city-state of Athens, Greece was known for its Direct Democracy

"We are a democracy because the power to make the laws is given to the many rather than the few. But while the law gives equal justice to everyone, it has not failed to reward excellence. While every citizen has an equal opportunity to serve the public, we reward our most distinguished [best] citizens by asking them to make our political decisions. Nor do we discriminate against the poor. A man may serve his country no matter how low his position on the social scale. An Athenian citizen does not put his private affairs before the affairs of the state; even our merchants and businessmen know something about politics. We alone believe that a man who takes no interest in public affairs is more than harmless—he is useless.” —"Pericles’ Funeral Oration"

Athens, 5th century BC

WHAT WAS THE GREATEST INVENTION IN HISTORY? (Pg

98)

In my opinion, the printing press is by far the most important invention in history. When Johann Gutenberg used the printing press to print the first book in the mid 1400s, history was changed forever. He printed the Bible first, however many books were created soon after. I have listed some reasons why the printing press is the most significant invention of all time. 1. Books could be made quickly and cheaply. This made them readily available to a large number of

infoplease.com people. 2. Books printed with the printing press raised literacy rates in many areas. The more people read, the more they developed their own ideas and opinions opinions. 3. Major event in history that had a huge impact on our lives would not have occurred if the printing press had not spread ideas. The printing press Source: etc.usf.edu spread a questioning spirit. The 95 thesis that started the Protestant Reformation and the ideas of the Enlightenment were all spread with the Printing Press. These ideas greatly impacted religions and government.

Do you agree or disagree that the printing press is the most important invention in history? (Circle one) AGREE or DISAGREE If you agree, write down 4 more reasons why the printing press is the most important invention in History. If you disagree, write down which invention you think is more important than the printing press. Then, explain 4 reasons why the invention you have chosen is more important.

Peter the Great Modernized Russia (Pg 109) 

From the reform in beards we may pass to that of clothes. Their garments, like those of the Orientals, were very long, reaching to the heel. The tsar issued an ordinance abolishing that costume, commanding all the boyars [i.e., the nobles] and all those who had positions at court to dress after the French fashion, and likewise to adorn their clothes with gold or silver according to their means. As for the rest of the people, the following method was employed. A suit of clothes cut according to the new fashion was hung at the gate of the city, with a decree enjoining upon all except peasants to have their clothes made on this model, upon penalty of being forced to kneel and have all that part of their garments which fell below the knee cut off, or pay two grives every time they entered the town with clothes in the old style. Since the guards at the gates executed their duty in curtailing the garments in a sportive spirit, the people were amused and readily abandoned their old dress, especially in Moscow and its environs, and in the towns which the tsar often visited.

The dress of the women was changed, too. English hairdressing was substituted for the caps and bonnets hitherto worn; bodices, stays, and skirts, for the former undergarments. . . The same ordinance also provided that in the future women, as well as men, should be invited to entertainments, such as weddings, banquets, and the like, where both sexes should mingle in the same hall, as in Holland and England. It was likewise added that these entertainments should conclude with concerts and dances, but that only those should be admitted who were dressed in English costumes. His Majesty set the example in all these changes. . .
