He’s still determining it

 * Socially meditated reality**
 * Objective reality**

Karl weick – social psychology, Chris Argyris, David Clark

Hadley Cantril, "Perception and Interpersonal Relations," American Journal of Psychiatry 114 (August 1957): 119-26.

Three umpires: 1.Call them as they __are__ a.Objective reality b.Truth outside the person

2.I call them like I see them. Socially meditated reality Truth is the subject to some sort of human interpretation

3.They aren’t anything until I call them a.Socially constructed reality. b.Truth is created by the group.

Proofers: Here is where you type in your enriching explanation of my homework instructions. .... Start looking around at different topics for your research paper. Use the "Research Organizer" packet to jot down your thoughts. (The chart is to prevent you from not being able to find anything.) You shouldn't just type in your topic into a search engine. Think of other keywords to use. Don't just look on a search engine. Look at the chart for guidence. The "Notes From Source" is not due on thursday! The "Research Organizer" //is// due on Thursday.

Scribe will upload a copy of the video notes here. The search for the garden of Eden leads people to Mesopatamia. It's dry and deserted. Babylon, Asseria, and Sumar are the three civilizations of ancient Mesopotamia. "Quest for Eden is a journey back in time." Tigris and Euphrates are the two rivers. Mesopotamia is modern Iraq. We can trace the origins of the oldest stories.1947 a goat herder looked into an old cave discovering things "untouched since the time of Jesus." They found artifacts, dead sea scrolls. Hebrew from an old sect. These docs are the oldest version of the torah. Bible is read from two points of view. Torah is written by hand and is holy from the moment it is written. Discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls were the most imoortant find in archeology. It is important to Jewish people because it shows where they came from. Important to Chirtians because Jesus was Jewish, it is the old testiment.

Summary of the last paragraph of page 105 - Culture and tradition and mixing them together. - The tradition has been to fight and the people have had enough of fighting, the people want to be civilized. - This chapter is basically about how a Greek civilization organizes itself.

Discussion of Chapter 4 It's all about revenge.

Solon- The Athenian Franklin Rooselvelt.

FDR Rich Helped poor people with the polocies he had, but didn't completely overthrow the powerfyul elite.

Solon's key to happiness Everybody should be happy with what they have, Geoffrey says solon nieve in that- poor can't enjoy as much. Can't take money with you- true value. Tim says rich may want many things and poor may want little and have. Reforming government but what saying- doesn't want to to totally anger aristocrats.

What Solon did Eliminated debt slavery. Didn't do land reform. Citized into four classes, redistributed positions and taxes. He introduced coinage which improved economy and more power to merchants and midclass men. He took theory and did something with it, it wasn't just thought it was actions. He made the assembely the court of last resort/ultimate assembely.

Due to technical difficulties, the notes will be up on the Wiki space tonight.

Euripedes: Wrote as things were Brutally honest Some slaves were truly noble Some aristocrats were horrible

Sophocles: Idealist Wrote things as they should have been

Euripedes & Judging Stuff: -Be like us, foreigner -Greeks judge one another -Women -Observant, feel their pan -Women are like property, bought and sold with a dowry. -Medea, one of the earliest pieces of feminist literature

Apollo: -Light, order, intellectual, wisdom -Sophocles

Dionysus: -Dark, chaoticm scarry & disturbing -Euripedes -Gritty and real, but at the same time, more out of control

Theater: -The Greeks thought Apollo was far more important and had no idea what to do with Dionysus. Both needed each other, a yin/yang relationship.

Wednesday: 3) Delian League/ Pel. Wars 4) Alexander the Great 5) Review game on Friday

Test: Textbook --> Review questions #1-6 Sailing the Wine Dark Sea: Intro, Ch. 1, and Ch.4 (Study Mr. A's handouts!)

Clisthenese --> Put final authority in assembly of all male citizens (not slaves or women) increases # of people in assembly 400 to 500 increased # of tribes from 4 to 10 --> Religious festivals, military, where and how they were connected decreased # Power of traditional aristocrats increased # of people eligible to vote

Solon: - moved towards democracy - balancing needs of different classes - increased power of lower group - eliminated debt slavery - increases number of people to vote (men) - standardized taxes

Pisistratus: - "tricky tyrant" Body guard + Athena - crook, delivered the goods - kept trappings, pulled strings

Isagorus: - tried to put aristocrats back in control - takes people off of voting roles - he was an aristocrat

Clisthenese = father of Democracy Deal with masses: "Support me, and I'll give you power."

All of the wars are about fighting over the Meddeterainian.

__Ionian Rebellion__- Little city jumps from Persia to Athens. Athens helps then retreats, Persia retakes the original city. Persia is whole but pissed. Persia decides to come up, around, and down into Greece. Big Picture:

__Persian War__- Persia invades Greece by land with ship support. Darius of Persia attacks at Marathon, Athens wins. Persia goes home still pissed. King Xerxes of Persia attacks at Thermopolaye, Sparta loses and Athens is burned. New huge army of many Greeks, led by Sparta push Persia out. End Persian Wars.

__Persia and Egypt Fight__: Athens sends ships to help Egypt, but Persia sinks ships. Sparts notices Athens is weakened, decides new good time to fight.

__Peloponnesian Wars__: Sparta notices Athens is weak Small cities & Islands want to switch sides Sparta atttacks Athens Strategy**-** Sparta**: Land war-> attack crops and allies of Athens, had more people, force traditional hoplite battle, Lysander = Leader** Athens**: Sea war-> Give up towns and land around, had fewer people, depended on sea trade, attack Sparta allies on coast.**

 * Amulius didn't want the sons to rule.**
 * Romulus-> makes wall**
 * Remus->jumps over it**

Divine right-> gods or destiny given right to rule

Romans are power hungry. Romans looking to get ahead. killing, taking over, using violence to solve problems. Romans believe in heroes.


 * Frances Titchner (Utah State University):**
 * "State is important person or family." similar to Romulus and Remus myth**
 * The myth points out the devotion to Rome and this quote reflects the myth as well.**

Link to the Greeks -> Runs away to start a new life, stay in one place Romans are from some place else, and must move and conquer to survive

Why do the Punic Wars matter? Gave Rome a reputation. Force a global regime change. Began the development in war technology (navy). First time Rome has expanded beyond the Italian peninsula. Rome realized that to maintain all of the Colonies they needed a good navy. The governors set on course to wreck the empire. At the start of the war Carthage was dominant in the west. Carthage claimed all trade in the west. Outcome: When Carthage gave up they gave up the islands between Italy and Sicily, paid a fine, keep its ships out of Italian waters, and would help them out any time they needed it. Second Punic War- Rome messes with their neighbors. Hamlicar Barca throws first punch. Hanibal Barca grew up hating the Romans. The Carthaginians religion practiced scarifying young children. Hamicar dies during campaign and Hamibal takes over in his late teens. Hamibal is a complete tactical genious. Scipio Africanus came up with a tactic to overcome Hamibal’s tactics. Third Punic War-

Homework: prepare present posters, read MLK papers (on wiki.)



Content: Seemed to know he would die. The Americans are on way to solving racial problems Keep striving forward -> Jews were in Egypt in slavery. led out to promise land

connections: White -> higher class Blacks -> lower class Determination. Sacrificing.

Rome: Patricians vs Plebians Romulous sacrificed borther/MLK sacrificed himself. (all for cause) Building Block Democracy

Great Philosephers -> thought about how and why


 * striving forward in cultures mentioned*

Greece: Bulding block democracy. philosephers -> eternal assues of reality Advancement and rulers.

Promise Land: important about old places, led to now.

Ethical developments of MLK are same as those posed by Christ. Talking about people not always stopping to help you, but help eachother.

Solon and Clisthenes, founders of democracy -> like MLK ->racist group like KKK (like Pisistratus)

Land owners -> U.S. South -> how things are status quo

Jim Crow->plebians never become patrician -> limits on voting in both cultures. fear of others Belief in higher power

Form:

Homework- 1.)What connections do you see between MLK and the Gracchi? 2.) Think of ideas that we can use for the presentation on MLK.

Today's agenda 1. Algebra lesson 2. Story Time

Algebra Lesson: MLK / Financial disparity readings from last meeting. Look carefully at following diagram:





Royal Rome Kings - imperium - commanders army -foriegn policy

Kings elected the senate and this tended to stay in the family

Senate -Patrician -Elete -Usually wealthy -Born to this position -adopted,married -Retired Tribune

Consul -two of them - 1 year -leader of the army -they are incharge of deplomancy -judges

Censor+Quastor

Curaite Assembely -Did what the senate did didn't have much power - They are a group of 30

centurian Assembely -They protect the officers in the military

Plebian Assembely -Tribune of the Plebians and they elect them. -1 Year -Also serve in Senate -rpresent need of people -Retire to senate

Struggle between the orders 1) No plebian assembely, no power. 2) May have Plebian assembely but it doesn't apply to the patricians and the senate 3) Lex Hortencia- Let the Plebian law stand- Plebian assmbely laws would apply to Patricians. 4) Tribune gains power to veto some actions of senate

Clientage Patron- Wealthy connected patrician Client gives votes and protection to the patron Patron gives economic and legal support and also access. Client- Less wealthy, Plebian

- Change way political business done - Sew see for end democracy, bring dall of Roman Republic

Under Foundation Myths: Under Punic Wars:
 * Jeoperdy Review Game Questions and Answers:**
 * 1. ** **How might Romans connect the Anneus myth and the Punic war?** //Anneus after fleeing Troy before arriving in Rome stopped in Carthage and fell in love with the queen, they had an affair, the Romans could tie in their conquest in their birthrights. Also, Anneus couldn’t be defeated. This myth let them to believe that Rome just had a right to whatever it wanted because it was the strongest, as they were brought up to believe.//
