The city of Athens was the beginning to many revolutionary changes in civilization and politics. It is the origin of democracy and within that respect, in the first millennia it was the least city in all of Ancient Greece. It's culture shocked the world as they were for positive reinforcement, accepting change, body positivity, as well as the beginning of our race trying to accept free thought and speech. One of the prominent traits hey all hqad in common in Athens was the ability to appreciate love for the same gender. Which appalled the Tyrants, as they were founded on a power based economy, while Athens had multiple leaders and a vote that was capable of swaying decisions. These are the foundations of Western Civilization, which is what a lot of our culture is based on now,especially religion. I believe that the Christians are the most similar to the old ways of Western Civilization, even still.

Research the positions of Thomas Hobbes and John Locke on social contract theory. Once you have finished analyzing the sources a
sergij07 [2.7K]

Both English philosophers, Hobbes and Locke, believed there is a "social contract" -- that governments are formed by the will of the people.  But their theories on why people want to live under governments were very different.

Thomas Hobbes published his political theory in <em>Leviathan</em> in 1651, following the chaos and destruction of the English Civil War.  He saw human beings as naturally suspicious of one another, in competition with each other, and evil toward one another as a result.  Forming a government meant giving up personal liberty, but gaining security against what would otherwise be a situation of every person at war with every other person.

John Locke published his <em>Two Treatises on Civil Government</em> in 1690, following the mostly peaceful transition of government power that was the Glorious Revolution in England.  Locke believed people are born as blank slates--with no preexisting knowledge or moral leanings.  Experience then guides them to the knowledge and the best form of life, and they choose to form governments to make life and society better.

In teaching about Hobbes and Locke, I've often described the difference between them in this way.  If society were playground basketball, Hobbes believed you must have a referee who sets and enforces rules, or else the players will eventually get into heated arguments and bloody fights with one another, because people get nasty in competition that way.   Locke believed you could have an enjoyable game of playground basketball without a referee, but a referee makes the game better because then any disputes that come up between players have a fair way of being resolved.    Of course, Hobbes and Locke never actually wrote about basketball -- a game not invented until 1891 in America by James Naismith.  But it's just an illustration I've used to try to show the difference of ideas between Hobbes and Locke.   :-)

PLEASE HELP ILL MARK YOU BRAINLIEST!!!!
Katena32 [7]
Many individuals, such as women, men, and African Americans, debated all sides of the continuum of Modernism vs. Fundamentalism in the 1920s, whether it was by authority or self-expression. In wearing short skirts, listening to jazz, bobbing their hair, which stressed self-expression during this time of the Jazz Era women like Flappers went against the traditional feminine norms. In other words, the Jazz Era called for the revolt of young Americans against many of these fundamentalist policies. The Harlem Renaissance, for instance, shows the rise of modernist philosophy in Harlem within the African American community, which was full of self-expression and reflected black culture and experience, which helped to create a position for themselves in high Western culture. Ideologies like Garveyism set the stage for the culture of African America and see their black colour as a gift rather than a gift. In the pursuit of revolt and distinctive self-expression, movements such as the Harlem Revival of 1920 and the Jazz Era of 1920 went against societal standards rather than what was supposed to be articulated by fundamentalism.
