Athens had a fair government (lifestyle)

The Athens had a system of democracy that was more fair than the United States. The Athens followed a system that allowed people in Athens to live by their own rules. The people could learn what they really wanted to learn in the education field. In United States, only people that can afford to pay for private school are allowed to choose their education plan. If a person goes to United States and go to public school, they will have to take general classes that have nothing to do with their career or life goal. Athens also ran by a government that voted with majority rule. The freedom of choosing what is acceptable and what is not is in the hands of the Athenians. In United States, people have a right to vote but the vote do not determine the end vote for the approval of a policy. In America the people can vote but the vote is not needed. The only people that have power in America is the government people. However, in Athens the people of Athens have just as much power as the government. Also, in Athens people are free to join what group that they want to join in. In U.S. You can join groups, but the only groups that count are the Democrats and the Republicans.

I believed that the Athens way of doing things maid the country stronger. If the people are not happy with the decisions that is being made, the people should have a right to do something about it. It would be nice to live in a country where the government does not limit on what a person can buy and cannot buy. For example, in U.S. the citizens can not buy a bitcoin as easily as other countries. The U.S. Banks will not even allow someone to purchase a bitcoin. Athens has no restrictions on what the people can and cannot buy. Athens did not limit on what a person was allowed to do. If you did not do what you were suppose to do for the people, then you need to give up your position and give it to someone who will do your government job properly. I believe the only reason Athens fell was because of slavery. I believe that is what almost caused U.S. To fall too. Slavery is the one thing you can not have in a country if you want it to be stable.






Response 1:


-Athens allowed anybody to trade with anybody. I appreciate what you said in that paragraph. Right now, every body in U.S. Wants a bitcoin. The problem is that the U.S. Is not letting people buy this bitcoin. They are trying very hard to keep this coin out of U.S. What i would like to know is why would America try to prevent people from buying a bitcoin? Why is America telling people what they can and cannot buy? The limits that they put on bank accounts and canceling buys on investments makes me think that America does not want us to spend our money even if we earned it. Athens does not limit on what a person can buy, a person can whatever they choose. I wish America was like that.



-Respone 2:

-the system is built to provide the needs of the many, as in democarcy system. However, the democarcy system in U.S. Still limits people on what they can buy and cannot buy. Then there are some thing that you can’t buy but you can own in the U.S. This indicates that this country is not as free as it appears to be.
