9-24-09 (BE LIKE PLATO....MAKE YOUR OWN GOVERNMENT!)

Students will become familar with Plato's Republic. Plato was one of the Big Three Greek Philosophers who designed a "perfect government". After engaging some of the premise of Plato's Republic students will design their own government based upon their values.

Students must answer five questions with thought.

1) What is your governments main purpose?
2) Who gets the power?
3) Who enforces the power?
4) Who pays for it?
5) How long do you think it could last?

A dynamic class discussion will follow!
