presentations

Today in Western Civilization class with Mr. Schick we started off by grading presentations that people still had to present. The first person to go talked about democracy. He did an incredible job explaining his facts and details, knowing what he was talking about and now having to look through note cards or anything to answer peoples questions. He talked about how the United States could never successfully form a full democracy due to the fact that it is impossible for 390 million people to be able to vote on laws within a two week span of time. The other group presentation was about the trireme. The trireme was a battle boat that was used as a battering ram against other rivaling naval units.

Group Project

Today in Western Civilization we worked on our group project. I took notes about the spartans and how they went into the military as young as the age of 7.  The children would be removed from their parents’ homes and began the “agoge.” The agoge was a state-sponsored training regimen that was designed to mold these young boys into skilled warriors and moral citizens. The agoge was designed in a way that would make these young boys resistant to hardships such as unbearable cold weather, hunger, and an excruciating amount of pain. Unlike the Athenian army, Spartans were more strict for the army. A Spartan man, on average, would complete the main phase of the agoge around age 21.
