How to change from Ideas to essay

Hard time finding issue

Pick a topic- anything interesting to you, not necessarily

H.-not exact to Michael Vick What about law? Hard to find match micheal vicks case like hitting your father and having to lose a hand you have to read between the lines the answers are in there you just need to find them. Don't just look at the text look at what the text means. USE LOGIC!!! (brain storm to find key words) types of problems- animal cruelity, breaking the law (not going to court), his employer fired him superior expectations. Does it change anything that most everyone knows micheal vick? 196-Eye for an Eye 197-If a noble man breaks another noble man's bone, his bone shall be broken. Vick broke the NFL's trust, honesty and loyalty of fans. He can't run and through if he has broken bones. 199- If he put out the eye of a man's slave, or break the bone of a man's slave, he shall pay one half of its value. Use train of logic to relate it to Hammurabi. MAKE THE LEAP OF LOGIC.

Movie notes: Babylon was the firsst civilization to have a written law. The ordeal is an ancient brutal ritual ib which the accused must lick a burning hot metal spoon. Things from hammurabis code carry over to modern law and the bible. the assyrians were the ultimate symbol of bloody tyrany. the assyrians were the deadliest army to go through mesopotamia. Absent power was the rule of the Assyrians. Niniva was a biblical city that was found to go along with proof of events that happened in the bible. Many clay tablets were found written in cueniform. Assyrian queens had more rights than ordinary women. Golden jewelry was found on the bodies of queens. Queens were similar to prizes to the kings. King sonatra was determined to comquer everything that stood in his way. King Hesikaya was rebelious and tried to resist the seige. He escaped during the seige and survived. In 1852 ruins were found. These ruins were the palace of niniva. Many artifacts were found proving the existance of another biblical city. There were 22000 clay tablets in the assyrians writing in the library of niniva. In niniva women and commoners had little status. Normal women were treated poorly by their husbands but queens had many privladges.

Positive: beautifuly written, liked the flow how he told a story then anaylyzed it, liked when he talked about fate and destiny. Do people know what there fate or destiny when born? Modern? Ancient? --> hector Negitive: thought it was boring facty to much info not enough fun in it structor comparing to video, book ordered less clear then video, agamemnon confusing content myths helpful, but chapters not so good lacked flow listening nothing stood out, in one ear + then out the other What was Cahill's main idea in the introduction? 1. It starts as a myth, it explains why there are seasons (example: winter spring summer fall) History need to be learned in peices, the myths are apart of the pieces 2. Autobiography stuff wanted to relate to modern times the autobiography is a part of the piece of learning history connection figures, you think of history as dead people who you don't know but when you translate them to real people you know you understand much more. he discovered this at the muesam of art. He made the connection between the pieces of the puzzle he learned in school and the peices he found at the muesam of fine arts. he completed the puzzle by putting the peices together and finding the connection. How does cahill do history? he compares and makes conclutions he learns through art as well as reading he makes conclusions from what he see's and what he reads.

Possible Essay Question: Give me a new metaphor for Slon Clisthenes, and their relationship to democracy, Exlpain.

Pisistratus: came to power by faking his own murder and then being thrown out of the city then hired beautiful lady to pretend to the goddness Athena he then got important again.

Solon: Low and steady pitched the aristocrats

Isagoras: Tried to restore aristocracy --> Reduced # of people voting --> Power in the aristocrats

Clisthenes: Known as the father of Democracy

Increased: Final authority in assembly of all male citizens Increased: # People in assembly 400 to 500 Increased: # of tribes from 4 to 10: Religious festivals, military were now connected ( the pie chart). Religious and military was first divided into four tribes with 4 aristocrats in each tribe. Solon's idea was to spilt that into 10 tribes instead of 4, with aristocrat in each tribe. Decreased: Power of tradtitional aristocrats Increased: # of people eligible to vote.

Delian League • Like sibling rivalry • Won’t let them come in and take over • When away, two wont “play very well” • Athens vs. Sparta • They literally start fighting each other when one tries to “help a second on a third.” • How they start fighting each other in the P. War • Delian League- Athens was the leader; Sparta was not prepared, more prepared in land wars other than water wars. • Try to still keep peace. • War wasn’t there before the Persian War • After, “who will lie up with whom?” • Athens- leader of P. League • ^Leader of all out in the water, the best ships • Others wanted to be protected by something/one with nice and successful ships.
 * Persia sinks a bunch of Athens ships
 * Athens in trying to help Eygpt

Class notes from Overview

Class notes from power-point -**Slide 1**: Bridge in France, Aquaduct. Carries water at almost a 180 degree angle. Has been flowing for thousands of years. -**Slide 2**: Pool in Bath, England. One of the first things they built in the city was a pool/spring, for communal baths. Focal points for a Roman City. No sense of the germ system/theory. -**Slide 3:** Hand-made glass blowing in Italy. Commers in Rome, they might have invented glass, definetly one of the first for mass producing glass. -**Slide 4**: Roman Bridge in Portugal. Arch like this does not need wood, more space for more people, light, water, etc. Before Romans, *Etruscans (borrowed ideas and such, no one has ever successfully translated their language). -**Slide 5**: Lifter in Germany. Way it works: someone gets into wheel, when they walk, whole thing twist, rope and pulleys forces and spins, after systems, it tilts. -**Slide 6**: Road in Southern Italy, part of Via Appia.The Romans built roads, this allowed the military to move, it allowed for trade, and finally it kept the army busy during wars. Today, it still has niot been repaired from when it was built (thousands of years ago). Could move messengers and empires. -**Slide 7**: Curia Julia in the Roman Forum (Seat of the Roman Senate) in the city of Rome. We have senate and house of Representatives, they had two groups that made the laws: the senate and then later the assembly, you had to be wealthy to be a part of this. Plebian's Council, two groups compeated for power. Patricans(Senate) with wealthy, elite, inherited positions, and in higher power as opposed to the Plebians. Plebians(Plesbian Assembly) were poor and lower class, still hadn't inherited, working: 'There will always be triffles between the rich and the poor.'- David Jacquet. //"What do foundatioins myths tell us about Roman culture?" "What was behind the drive for expansions?"// //*"How did people who value democracy move to dictatorship?"* "How were classes divided and manipulated?" "What were the perspectives of conquerors and conquered?" "What might modern leaders learn from the rise and fall of Ancient Rome?"//
 * March 5, 2007,** we use a Roman calender.
 * Romance Languages:** languages that come from Latin.

Romans were friendly with the Carthaginians but got in a fight and destroyed them. They created they own province called Africa. The twin brothers Romulus and Remus were believed to be the founders of the city of Rome. They were also believed to be the original settles. Romulus later killed his brother and took over the city.

 * Imperium/ King: king has imperium; the right to issue commands and enforce them with fines arrests and physical punishment including death

Senate: Second branch of Gov.. king had more authority then the others elected, mainly members where patricians; they were wealthy so they had more power, there tradition

Curiate assembly: all citizen voted by groups, the committee of everybody, people put in 30 groups each group gets a vote
 * where the real power is

Family: Father was the leader of the family, he was allowed to sell kids into slavery or even kill them, father could NOT sell his wife, wifes job was to clean the house, etc. Father was the priest of the family, one to make the sacrifices; women had more power than in other cultures as in mesopotamia; family structure made because thats how they got along it also is because of the way the roman culture works, father was the leader of adult sons and brothers controlled marriages land purchases and business, if there are 2 brothers the more powerful one controls the other brother, power is based off of wealth or age or other factors. All of the business would be in the fathers name, if you bought a house it would be with your money but it would be under your fathers name.

Patron: Almost always patricians ALWAYS MORE powerful they would give money, land political, and economical connections give legal support either going to give strate up cash or give the oppertunity for money making

Client: Usual Plebeian ALWAYS LESS powerful they would give there work and life and political support, is going to vote for the patron when there running for any office; gives money back to the patron not directly, the client votes the way the patron wants then when he wins and gains more power gets a project or an oppertunity and gets a large amount of money

The patron client system is basically black mail

Quaestor: Royal Rome the first stage had kings info above Republic the second stage it was a democracy Empire the 3rd stage this is when the democracy turned into a dictatorship
