In class today we learned some new terms. We learned what an Agora and a Polis is. An agora is a public area for assemblies and markets. Polis is a city state in ancient Greece especially as considered in its ideal form for philosophical purposes. we learned that the year 508 BC was important to the greeks because thats the year they established democracy. We learned who Socrates was and what he did and that he was sentenced to death by drinking poison. The last thing we learned about was the Socratic Method this is a cooperative argumentative form of communication.
