Human Geography Review

Today in class we reviewed over some things.  First we reviewed democracy.  The first democracy was born in 508 B.C.  We also reviewed Socrates.  Socrates was a big deal back then.  He was very smart and intelligent.  He knew what was wrong and what was right.  He even fought in the Peloponnesian War.  Socrates wasn't like all the other people.  He did what he thought was right and stuck to it.  Sadly Socrates had to come to an end.  He was put on trial.  He was put on trial for two things.  He was put on trial for corruption of Athens youth, and for impiety which means not believing in the gods.  He lost the trail and had to drink poison.  Socrates lived to around 70 years old.  We also learned about what an idiot meant back then.  It meant someone who was characterized by self centeredness and concerned exclusively with private as posed to public affairs.  We also went over a few vocabulary words and that was pretty much it.
