Do I think Athens is a true democracy or a form of democracy? To me a true democracy would be when everyone, man and woman all have equal rights. These rights would be the right to decide the constitution and vote people to office. In Pericles speech, "The Funeral Oration", he says that the constitution favors everyone no matter what your social class is. He makes it sound like the constitution lets everyone be a part of government. According to Professor Hansen, a Professor at the University

Biomechanic principles are used all kinds of sports. They include the assement of physics and mechanics shown within the body and it moves. Biomechanics are used to show how a body works and moves and what factors lead to this. An example of this is summation of force. Summation of force is when a human adds more of their body to generate more force with the actions they make. The more they use their body to move the force is created. However, the way to generates more force has to be done by using

Was Ancient Athens Truly Democratic? The word “democracy” comes from the Greek word “demokratia” which means a direct democracy. The government in Athens consisted of three groups, the “ The Ekklesia”, “The Boule”, and finally The Dikasteria. During the 4th century the Athenians wondered what was a true “democracy”? In my point of view the Athenian people were NOT TRULY democratic. First off, the Ekklesia was an assembly of men in Athens that had 2 years of military experience.The role of the assembly

Car Collisions Thayne Costa-Spencer Partners: Wilhelm, Kahea, Kaiana November 23, 2015 Pd. 4 Kumu Keiki Intro: This lab shows the relation between elastic and inelastic collisions and to help understand momentum in one dimension. With weights our group was able to apply them to the plastic carts to understand momentum with different force. Our group used our data to check if it was compatible with the law of conservation with momentum. Our group measured before and after the carts

Classical and Operant Conditioning Classical conditioning was recognized and developed by a Russian physiologist named Ivan Pavlov. To this day he is normally considered as a psychologist although his work is considered part of physiology. While doing research on the digestive systems of dogs, Pavlov would put a piece of meat into the mouth of a dog and then measure how much saliva passed through a salivary fistula implanted in the animal to collect saliva in a tube placed just outside of a dog's

observation. There were many experiments and observations made during operant and classical conditioning research. The idea of classical conditioning was first brought to us by a Russian physiologist named Ivan Pavlov. It involves placing a neutral stimulus before a reflex and tends to focus more on involuntary behaviors. We associate two stimuli and then anticipate a response. We expect and prepare for pain. In classical conditioning, the first stage is acquisition, second is extinction, and third

Worksheet for Interactive Lab3: Circular Motion Name _____________ Physics 216 Grade ___/42 Date ______ Circular motion is one of the fundamental building blocks for understanding the physical world because it is so common. This interactive lets you examine the basic ideas of kinematics and forces for objects moving in circular motion. 1. (6 points) Use the controls under Show Vectors to draw arrows for several different quantities. The velocity vector is drawn in a special way: a big, bold

Life as a woman in Athens A historic view point by Cecil Fuson. Being a woman in Ancient Athens was not what the movies and Plays led me to believe. The Athenian Democracy was a democracy of the minority. Every man, no matter their class had equal say in the ruling of the government. But Women, Slaves and Foreigners had zero civil rights and no influence on how things were done. Because the Athenian’s were a very exclusive society, they rarely allowed outsiders share in the privileges the citizens

Realism is a 20th century art movement which took a diverse approach to representing the figure, yet has being ongoing from around the 18th century. It depicted what was happening in a contemporary way, an attempt to define what was real with no bias or personal preference from the artist. Only portraying what they saw. The movement originated in france in the 1850’s after the 1848 revolution. These Realists positioned themselves against Romanticism, a genre dominating French literature

What is a Projectile? In Unit 1 of the Physics Classroom Tutorial, we learned a variety of means to describe the 1-dimensional motion of objects. In Unit 2 of the Physics Classroom Tutorial, we learned how Newton's laws help to explain the motion (and specifically, the changes in the state of motion) of objects that are either at rest or moving in 1-dimension. Now in this unit we will apply both kinematic principles and Newton's laws of motion to understand and explain the motion of objects moving
