About Democracy
What is Democracy?
: Democracy is a type of government.
: People have freedom to elect the country’s dictator.
ex) When a democratic country picks a new president, the citizens first vote -> The person who gets the most votes gets to be the president!
Influences 1) Democracy
Democracy Impacting Ancient Greece
Before democracy was created,
the oligarchies ruled very bad.
After democracy was created,
the citizens were happy
because they had the rights
to pick the new king or president.
Now, most countries use democracy.
-> When countries use democracy,
voting presidents are fair,
so people don’t fight.

: Mythology is a made-up stories from a long time ago. Most of the stories is about the Greek gods.
About MythologyInfluences 2) Mythology (Polytheistic)
People in ancient Greece enjoyed reading myths.
Writers or authors would write stories that follow the same style as a myth to get money, to be famous and to entertain people.

Mythology Impacting Modern Society
What is Philosophy?
Philosophy means “love of wisdom.”
Philosophers think and talk with people to understand how people think. They also ask many questions to people that have very simple answers which bothered people. However, these questions became very helpful to the modern society.
ex) Great philosophers : Homer, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle
About PhilosophyInfluences 3) Philosophy
The philosophers helped inventors by encouraging them to think more deeper. The government made laws through philosophy.
Philosophy Impacting Ancient Greece
Philosophers of ancient Greek influenced in all aspects.
-> Philosophers changed the way we think in. (They made
people focus on human.) Philosophers developed physics,
biology, politics, literature.
Philosophy Impacting Modern Society
Plato Socrates Aristotle
I think philosophy had influenced the modern society and the
ancient civilization the most.
Greek philosophers also changed how people think and what people
wonder. By talking, philosophers learned how people think. Aristotle believed
that every subject could be understood through logic. Most of all, philosophy
helps people to think critically about the big questions in life. Greek
philosophers encouraged inventors to make new inventions and more.
Scientists used philosophy to discover things (ex. how the universe began). We
study philosophy to make new laws.
Persuasive paragraph : Philosophy
