Position Statements (Representation) Bethany Lu Social Studies per. 1 March 1, 2013 Many states would consider that the power should be in the hands of the individual states. I, being a delegate of Delaware disagree with the idea and will willingly go with the New Jersey Plan. Our state has an average population of 59,000 making us the least populated state in America. There are also many other small states, and they would definitely disagree with the way that Virginia decided.
The main teaching which received the most criticism was that of "Complex Marriage." In Complex Marriage, every man was married to every woman and vice versa. This practice was to stay only within the community and had to stay within two main guidelines. The first was that before the man and woman could cohabit, they had to obtain each other's consent through a third person or persons. Secondly, no two people could have exclusive attachment with each other because it would be selfish and idolatrous.
He starts out by adressing them as "friends" because he wants to come to them as a friend rather than a ruler trying to get power . He then uses a false disclaimer when he says " I come to bury Caesar , not to praise him " , as he will in fact praise Caesar . Later on , he counters what brutus says by providing that Caesar was not ambitious .He repeats 'honorable' so often inregards to brutus and the others , that to the crowd it starts to mean the opposite . The crowd are swayed to him by his dramatics , His underhanded way of making a point and his compelling proof for caesar's concern "the will" .

According to few Hellenes, people who had the evil or had injured the empire by private actions have no nobler cause in terms of their deed to fight for the country. They were dishonored because of their bad fame. Thucydides persuaded by point out that all the citizens knew the advantages of a brave defense. On the battlefield, they became glorified because of their fearless spirit and ran away from the word of dishonor. The speaker also interpreted the word of dishonor by comparing the contribution which the dead made and the evil they did.
This was the character of Caesar in a single sentence. Caesar's belief of his public image among the citizens is what helps bring about his death. His arrogant self has lead him to mistakenly believe that the immortal status granted to his public self somehow protects his mortal body. Still, Caesar's believes that he is eternal compared to the people and he does not listen to the soothsayer or Artemidorus. Cesar was
Many of those who had initially voted for his innocence now voted for capital punishment.His suggestions for punishment included: being awarded a pension from the government for performing a public service and paying a very small fine. He specifically rejected the punishment of exile (leaving the city) which the jury would probably have been content with and may actually have preferred.If Socrates had accepted Crito's offer, he probably would not have been pursued by the Athenian government. Extradition from another city was uncommon, and many of the jurors would have been quite happy if he had preferred to leave. One of the reasons Socrates rejected Crito's offer is that he would not be abiding by his word; he had essentially been offered exile and had rejected it, and to self-exile himself at this point (only a few days later) would violate his unspoken oath to accept the punishment given by the jury. This would be a deontological reason--based on his duty to abide by his word to accept the punishment given and to abide by his earlier claim that he would reject exile.
However Pericles continues “for I conceive that it would not be unsuited to the occasion that this should be told, and that this whole assembly of citizens and foreigners may profitably listen to it.” (Thucydides, 3) I start to feel this comes off as Pericles trying to sell to anybody listening that Athens is above and beyond all and that this is his chance to praise the excellence of Athens to any foreigners and to remind any citizens. He also reminds the people that they do not emulate or copy the laws of others, but rather that they are an example to them, and goes on to explain that they run through a democracy and it works for the majority. Government is not the only aspect of Athenian life that is praised, Pericles then goes on to talk about how
Djabir Yaya Professor Cindy Linden Legacy of Western Society 9/21/2012 Iliad Essay Homer uses some poetic devices to demonstrate that praising a hero can do nothing, but lead to excessive pride and result in violence. Although, sometime people do things that are above normal standard, but we do not need to glorify them since this lead to conflict in our society. There are many ways we tend to glorify individual; sometime we give them trophies while other time we just considered them as an outliers and heroes. Homer uses simile and metaphor to demonstrate the superiority of his main character Achilles to human being, but make it difficult for modern readers to understand his point. Homer uses metaphor with the purpose of showing his main character arrogance by
