Answer:

King held the most power, and slaves held the least

Explanation:

Greek poleis were not one homogenous group that had the same structure. Therefore, depending on the polis, the most power would be held by the monarch, oligarch, or democratic structure or people (free, adult males). While today we connect the idea of democracy with ancient Greece, it was only present in the polis of Athens. Most of the poleis were organized as monarchies, so, therefore, King held the most power in the largest number of the polis.

Those who had no rights and state in the society held the least power in the polis. These would be slaves, who did not have freedom or the right to vote. However, women and children could also put in the category of having the least power as they were not considered citizens and were completely dependent on the adult male from their house.

What are the physical and intellectual effects of bereavement on a person who also is diagnosed with a disease?

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Bereavement, while part of everyone's life, is a form of mental stress and as such can affect people greatly. People can find significant declines in their intellectual functions (memory, concentration, reasoning, etc.) and some can even change certain beliefs looking for support. Physical functions are also affected when a person’s mind is under stress, so people can find themselves having troubles sleeping and eating, and suffering from various pains and dizziness. This can affect their existing conditions and worsen their previous diagnoses, making the heal harder.

Explanation:

Bereavement and grief can seriously impact a person’s mental state, and with that, they can affect someone’s body and health.

Besides an obvious state of melancholia and depression in which people can find themselves in times of loss, they might also start being affected intellectually. People can start forgetting things, being confused, and lost. They can change their beliefs in hard times such as that one, especially if they also suffer from the disease. For example, they might try to find comfort in some belief system that offers support or promise of a better life. These belief systems can slow provide a “guide” on how to better the physical state, offer eternal life, or some similar concepts. People who were never prone to these thoughts might find themselves drawn to them in times of excessive sorrow when the material world can’t offer them comfort or answer to their problems.

With a worsened mental state almost always comes the effect on the body. If the person is already sick with the disease, their symptoms might worsen. First, they are more likely not to take proper care of themselves and their body in the time of depression, which will take a toll on their health. Secondly, it is proven that psychological stress affects bodily functioning. One of the most common things affected is sleeping and eating problems, but also headaches, stomachaches, nausea, dizziness, etc. All of these will likely worsen their existing condition, making the progress to health harder.
