More fun notes!!!

So today in Human Geo class we learned more about excellence and the Greek. Agora is the place where greeks met to have meetings, gatherings, and was also the market place. Polis is political entities ruled by their bodies of citizens, origin of the words politics, metropolitan, poll. The year 508 BC was very significant because it was the first time in recorded history a people had revolted against their rulers. Socrates was a man who worked as a stonemason. He fought heroically in the Peloponnesian war. His working class background and battle field experiences may have shaped the way he viewed the world. The socratic method is when he met with young students in workshops just outside of the agora. His method asked a series of questions to determine their underlying beliefs and the extent of their knowledge.
