Answer:

The Athenian boys were taught to read, write and quote portions of literary works. They also taught singing and playing and trained as athletes or trained as warriors. They did not acquire this education to qualify for a job but to earn the right to be full citizens.

Explanation:

Athenian girls were taught to read, write and the simple account needed to run a household. After their childhood, they almost never received additional education.

Boys from wealthy families who went to private schools were taken care of by pedagogues - paidagogos, domestic slaves who were selected specifically for this purpose and accompanied by these boys. Classes were held in teachers' homes where the boys were taught the above subjects. From the age of twelve, the boys practiced wrestling, running and discus throwing and javelin throwing. And the Athenians are older boys taught by more sophisticated disciplines such as culture, science, music and art. Education ended at 18 years followed by military training for 1-2 years.

Om Prezi;;;The Knight and The Squire Differences and Similarities Similarities 1) They are family, the knight is the squire's father.

3)They are both courteous and humble, too.

4)Both the Knight and the squire are members of the Aristocrat class. Squire 1) A very vivacious, or lively, personality
can be compared to the modern day person, or a prince charming of sorts

2)Twenty year old lustful bachelor

<span>3)Stylish and Daring clothing </span>
(very short gown)

4)Perfectly curled hair

5)Selfish Outlook

6) Supposed to be a knight-in-training.

<span>7)Exaggeration of Falseness </span>
within the Squire Knight 1) Perfect Gentleman

2) Still dressed in undershirt and rust stained mail

3) Believes in the ideals of Chivalry

4) Honest, Truthful, and Faithful

5) Always well mannered

6) Professional Soldier

7) Chaucer gave an exaggeration of perfectness to the Knight dssdasdasfsa Differences 1) The Knight is a warrior, but the squire is more an artist (singing, poetry)

2) The Knight takes his duty very seriously, the squire is just along for the fun.

3)The squire is more concerned with his appearance and social status than the training his father is giving him.

4) Knight has much more experience (proven himself in battle, etc.) but the squire acts like he does not want the experiences. To the best of Chaucer's description, the knight is perfect at not only his job, but as a person also. Chaucer has nonstop praise for the Knight. He believes that the Knight is a profound person.

Chaucer views the Knight with great respect. He admires the Knight, and sees no negative in his personality. Chaucer sees the squire as an amusing and talented person, however also as a very bad squire. The squire is a failure because he is training to be a knight, but never wants to become one.

<span>Chaucer is amused by the squire, and cannot see him becoming a knight, but rather a lover and an artist. Chaucer might not see the squire as a bad person, but without a doubt he is a terrible squire.</span>

ElenaW [278]

Answer: iii. undertook political reform and economic expansion

Explanation:

During the Meiji Restoration, Japan took back power from the Shoguns and gave it back to the Emperor. This period saw the rise of industrialization, education and generally economic policies that aimed to bring Japan up to speed with the Western nations.

This was similar to Japan after WWII. In the years before the world war, Japan's military had taken center stage once more in governing the country but when they lost the war they handed power back to the emperor and civilian authorities. This led to much advancement in the economic of the nation such that after some decades it became a first world country.

Explain the geographic circumstances that led to the development of the Maurya and Gupta Empires
Anika [276]

Answer:

A) The Mauryan Empire expanded over nearly the entire region of what is now modern day India. Starting with Chandragupta and ending with his grandson Ashoka, the empire was expanded over a span roughly a hundred years. This was not an easy task because of the size of the land to be conquered. The area that is now known to be modern day India, is a peninsula. The Arabian Sea borders the land on the west, the Indian ocean borders it to the south and the Bay of Bengal borders it to the east. The Himalaya Mountains separated the rest of east Asia, including China, from the Mauryan Empire. The Hindu Kush Mountains to the north west of the Mauryan Empire separated it from the rest of the Middle East. The monsoon cycle effected the Mauryan Empire as well. High rainfall often lead to reoccurring floods and in the winter, especially inland, there was a lack of rainfall and that lead to droughts. Needless to say, it was hard to sustain a surplus of agriculture throughout the year. The location was still beneficial despite this. Trade over sea to east Asia flourished. the size of the subcontinent of India lead to the development of several languages in different and separate regions of the land. This is the reason why the development of the Mauryan Empire was is so important in history.  That the empire existed is a testament to the strength of the rulers at the time to unify such a vast region.

B) There isn't much of a difference in geography between the Mauryan and the Gupta empires as the Gupta Empire was the predecessor of the Mauryan. This meant that the Gupta empire inherited the land owned by the Mauryan Empire. One obvious difference between the two empires is that the Gupta  Empire was smaller that the Mauryan. The Gupta Empire is located in the northern region of the subcontinent underneath the Himalayan and Hindu Kush mountains. The people of the Gupta Empire where better adapted to the Monsoon cycle  by building high houses to accommodate the floods. Because of this they were able to flourish agriculturally, boasting their economy.
