POV was about the government and the price you get for doing right and wrong. This document is a POV from a ship. You are out at sea and you have no direction. You have to direct your own way. You have no navigation so you must guess and hope that you are right. But the reason behind document two is that Plato wrote it as a metaphor to express when one shows attitude towards another.

Athens was not truly democratic because there is evidence in both Document C, Document D and Document E to support this claim. Athens was not truly democratic because not everybody had the choice to vote. In Document C, it states "Percentage of Population Able to Vote: 12%." This shows that since only adult male citizens who were over the age of eighteen could vote, which left 88% of the population unable to vote. Democracy is when every citizen has an equal right to vote and takes part in government. This is not the case in ancient Athens, as shown in Document C. Document D states, “It is less democratic by narrowing down the concept of demos to mean the adult male citizens in assembly.” Demos means the
Many of us complain about the tough hours we work or the amount of chores we have to complete, but think about the truly harsh conditions that young girls and women had to work in the textile industry with very little pay and no accolades. Back in the 18th century, when the Industrial Revolution struck, it made it hard for female mill workers to enjoy being employed. Due to the terrible working conditions, the amount of hours worked, and the low wages were a few of the similarities that the female mill workers in England and Japan shared.
The periods of 1200-1450 and 1450-1700 were polar opposites for a multitude of reasons but the most important reasons the two were different were, the invention of the printing press, the enlightenment, along with one man, Martin Luther. These three things changed the course of world history and brought upon a period that led to the updating of human nature at a previously unseen rate. They challenged what was though prior to 1450, and helped humanity to develop and expand. Without the printing press, the Enlightenment, and Martin Luther we would be living similar to the people of the time did, 500 years later.

The pros of each of these decisions is peace within yourself. However, one of the cons is dealing with negative pressures.

Europeans dominated the African continent for centuries. The white man tried to “civilize” Africa by making themselves superior to other races. They created a rule that non-white races must obey them. This gave Europeans to the power to rob the continent of a huge amount of its riches and inflict a tremendous amount of suffering on Africans. The second letter was called to bury the unpleasant memories of slavery in the past and focus on a future, without this superior rule. It was asked that colonial powers cooperate and fix their past mistakes and injustices against the Africa, by granting them independence.

According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, culture is, “the customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group, or the characteristic features of everyday existence shared by people in a place or time.” Culture links individual people with common traditions and morals, incorporating fundamental aspects of society such as holidays, meals, and the mode of dress. It is intrinsic in the very identity of humans. Throughout history, the West unexpectedly rose to power rather than the flourishing empires of Asia. It is my belief that these traits and customs associated with culture are the underlying reason for the rise of the West.
