Totalitarianism- Makhayla & David

Totalitarianism is when a party realizes ways to absolute power over the state and takes command for a specific purpose. Italian dictator Benito Mussolini coined the term totalitario in the early 1920s to describe Italy in its new form. By the beginning of World War-II totalitarian had become known as an absolute and oppressive single-party government. Some goods that can come out of it is since it is only 1 party it can stabilize a chaotic situation, but there is a lot more bad. Totalitarianism is bad in many more ways. Even though it helps stabilize the government in shaky situations it poses total control under the certain faction. The state is now being controlled by collective rule that are always focused on mostly one goal, and therefor they can use propaganda to further they’re rule and further the funding for whatever they want and eventually give the state nothing but imbalance and usually destruction.

ANARCHY- Nathan & Nat (kinda)

Anarchy has no formal rulership or enforced leader. There is a sense of government feels absent and the land is lacking laws and supreme power. There is no organized ruler or no group of people governing the people. Every person has complete liberty. Anarchist believe in self individualized government and believe in no central power while keeping a functional society. It is a political and economy self rule. In a nutshell, they are people that rebel against orginized tgovernment An advantage of an Anarchy government is supreme liberty and freedom. You have complete control on your rule and economical benefits. An disadvantage is the fear and risk of distorter or chaos. Although part of the point of an Anarchist society is to maintain order, there can always be a fear of chaos is there is a disagreement because there is no central elected power to keep everything in order.

THIS IS SPINAL TAP

SPINAL TAP IS THE BEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME. NO ONE CAN SAY DIFFERENTLY IS WRONG! PURE WRONG!

my amazing responce

I agree with Campbell. In the ancient and medieval world it was a lot easier to become a hero, and now becoming a hero hero is almost impossible. In ancient times all that you had to do to become a hero was pick up a sword and fight with it. Back then if you were brave and did something above the ordinary then you would be considered a hero. Now days in order to become a hero you have to be lucky enough to get out of a situation that seems impossible to survive or save someone’s life.

Before Greece originated the Hellenic and Pelagi tribes existed. The Pelasgi group never greatly multiplied and the Hellenic tribe spread and multiplied.

Responce to Campbell's statment and early Athens

1. As I do not fully disagree with Campbell's statement, I do not fully agree either. I think it is untrue that people can not be held as a hero. I believe that many people hold the state as a hero in modern society and like the ancient times, they are not a hero to all people and many people have different opinions. It seems to me that people find a place more in modern society. People today I feel they contribute more to society today as in the ancient times, it seemed like you were a worrier or you were just someone living in that land. In the mid evil times, you were only a hero if you were a leader or a courageous worrier. In modern society today, I have observed that the average person feels they contribute something and feel heroic. More people today feel that they alone can change part of the world. Tons of people are helping the homeless or contributing something to starving people in world because now we have the ability to do that.

2.Before there was Athens, there was Spartans and Athenians. They were both residing in Greece. The people that later came to be the people of Athens still lived in Greece. There were a bunch of tribes that came to form a democratic government to come under the rule of King Theseos. It first came to be a people's ruled government (democracy) and they formed The Athenian Constitution however, not all people had equal rights. The poor were usually enslaved to the rich. As Athens devolved, their building consisted of buildings such as common houses and city council halls. The whole land was in the hands of only a few persons. Life was pretty bitter in early Athens.
