<em>Some this you can do is</em>
- <em>Start the essay off with a Graber for example: Did you know Fedrick Duglous ..."? </em>
- <em>Also in a essay, you have to only include the important key events</em>
<em>For example, some key events are </em>
- <em>Frederick Douglass was born in 1818 and died in 1895.</em>
- <em>He was also a slave.</em>
- <em>He thought that slavery was morally wrong and, therefore, should be banned, while Captain Canot was fine with it and, in fact, supported it.</em>
- <em>Frederick, being a slave helped with the reason he was against it.</em>
- <em>But, there are many other reasons why he thought it was wrong.</em>
- <em>One other reason he thought slavery was wrong was that Frederick saw children's mothers and children being slaves while usually the father would be white and the slave owner, this also brought domestic violence.</em>
- <em>Frederick, also based his views on how he was taught and his education.</em>
- <em>Captain Canot, on the other hand, was born into a white family in 1804 and was always taught owning a slave was not wrong.</em>
- <em>This, is a reason why he believed it was okay to own slaves (seeing a pattern?).</em>
- <em>Captain Canot never experienced what being a slave was and what having no rights at all felt like.</em>
- <em>So of course, having no experience Captain Canot thought slavery wasn't that bad.</em>
- <em>However, Captain Canot and his men also saw African Americans as just "cargo" something just to be delivered and kept alive.</em>
- <em>The idea of African Americans being a lower class than a peasant, or a "sub-human" wasn't made overnight, it was made through hundreds of years of slavery.</em>
- <em>Although Captain Canot was not in slavery his whole life around 1840 he stopped taking slaves and decided to go into the plantation industry in the same region he was in, he still occasionally participated in slave trafficking but was not often.</em>
<em>I really hope that answers your question</em>
Answer:
This phrase by Pericles is talking about the meritocratic nature of the Athenian Democracy.
This is different from other civilizations such as Oligarchy, Theocracy, Monarchy, communism, autocracy and the likes. As it promotes the spirit of merits only.
Explanation:
Part of the full words of Pericles is that "but public preferment depends on individual distinction and is determined largely by merit rather than rotation: and poverty is no barrier to office, if a man despite his humble condition has the ability to do some good to the city." Pericles’ Funeral Oration (Thucydides I.37)
Hence, Athenian Democracy is considered to be based on meritocracy. It is of the belief of Pericles that, regardless of the citizens' class or social status. It is those that stands out, or the brightest of the mind, that governs or rise to the position of power.
Athenian Democracy which is considered as meritocracy by Pericles differs from other civilization, and can be explained as the political form of government where by the people who have the best quality to lead, are given the opportunity to govern the people, regardless of their class and social status, in as much they have shown that they merit the position, through achievement or their performance.
