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.

Why was the American invasion of Iraq controversial?
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

President Bush's reasons for going to war proved false

Explanation:

The main reason for the invasion of Iraq was the alleged development and usage of bio-chemical weapons by this Middle Eastern country. Representatives from the UN were sent to investigate it, but it turned out that the allegations were false, and that Iraq doesn't develop or have weapons of that type. The UN representatives though were not let to say what they find out and saw, and mysteriously they all died in very controversial accidents in the coming months. Bush's administration though had already set its sights on Iraq and invading it, so despite the allegations being false they attacked it, invaded it, killed their leader, and got hold onto their natural resources.
