Human Geo 9/12 - Excellence notes part 4 (review)

End of notes:
- Idiot according to Ancient Greece:
characterized by self-centeredness and concerned almost exclusively with private - as opposed to public - affairs.
᛫ idiots were born but citizens are made through education.
᛫ doesn't take part in public life, such as democratic government of the polis, was considered dishonorable.
- The unexamined life is not worth living - Socrates.

 In class:
- We reviewed over notes and went over what would be on the test by coming up with questions we think would be on the test and was given confirmation, or told they weren't on it.
- There is multiple choice, fill in the blank and essay questions. The first essay question is an opinion answer.
- There is a bonus but it's not about Mr. Schick's dog.
- Tonight I will review notes, paying special attention to Socrates and the events of 508 B.C. and president McKinley.

It is outside and a circular shape and I'm pretty sure I've read before that it's shaped like that so it can project the voices.

Western Civ 6/1 - letter to my future self

I will try to make this as least corny as I can possibly make it, since this type of thing usually is a little corny. I hope you are alive and well, we would not want to die young.

We are in a global pandemic with the virus Covid-19, and there is rioting and looting across the U.S. due to the Black Lives Matter movement. Coronavirus has us out of school and doing online assignments, businesses have been closed for the past 2 months and are just now opening back up (the mall still isn’t open  ).

I spent multiple hours last night watching the rioting, and from what I saw and what was broadcasted on the news this morning, the cops are the reason they become violent. It was the same pattern in nearly every city, people would be peacefully protesting, the cops would show up in r
