1) Direct Democracy- A form of government used in Ancient Greece in which the citizens rule directly and not through representatives.
Classical Art- Art with has values of harmony, order, balance, and proportion.
Tragedy- A serious drama about common themes such as love, hate, war, and betrayal.
Comedy- A play filled with slapstick situations and crude humor.
Peloponnesian War- A war fought between Athens and Sparta.
Philosopher- A "thinker" about logic and how the universe works.
Socrates- A philosopher who was put to death for corrupting Athenian youth and going against the Athenian government. Socratic Method.
Plato- One of Socrates' students.
Aristotle- One of Plato's students.
2) I think Pericles' goal of strengthening the Athenian democracy had the most impact on the modern world, because if he hadn't continued with democracy and making it work, they would have moved to a different kind of government, and there would be no democracy anywhere in the world today. Many countries would not be the same if democracy had been forgotten about.
3) Pericles increased the number of public officials who were paid salaries, before the positions were unpaid. now everyone rich or poor could participate in the government. More people participated in the government when it was more available for everyone to join in.
5) I think they found Socrates' ideas disturbing because they were brand new ideas to them and when people don't know something that some else does they normally don't believe it. The people were told to believe what their government said so they did not believe the things that Socrates were saying and teaching them.
