When Athens began to emerge as a Greek city state in the ninth century, it was a poor city, built on and surrounded by undesirable land, which could support only a few poor crops and olive trees. As it grew it was forced to import much of its food, and while it was near the centre of the Greek world, it was far from being a vital trading juncture like Corinth. Its army was, by the standards of cities such as Sparta, weak. Yet somehow it became the most prominent of the Greek city states, the one remembered while contemporaries such as Sparta are often forgotten. It was the world's first democracy of a substantial size (and, in some ways, though certainly not others, one of the few true democracies the world has ever seen), producing art and fine architecture in unprecedented amounts. It became a centre of thinking and literature, producing philosophers and playwrights like Socrates and Aristophanes. But most strikingly of all, it was the one Greek city that managed to control an empire spanning the Aegean sea. During the course of this essay I will attempt to explain how tiny Athens managed to acquire this formidable empire, and why she became Greece's most prominent city state, rather than cities which seemed to have more going for them like Sparta or Corinth.

Explanation:
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Socialism and Communism were a response to the social and economic conditions that developed in Europe during the Industrial Revolution because the Industrial Revolution started a notorious economic inequity or disparity in the society. The wealthy owners of the industries became richer, meanwhile, the poor workers became poorer.
Two of the conditions that concerned socialist and communist thinkers were the low salaries that workers earned in the factories and the unhealthy conditions in which they worked. Workers labored for long hours daily under unhealthy conditions that created many risks, and of course, they did not have medical attention or insurance. The places had no ventilation at all and workers had to operate machines that created risks for the untrained workers.
