The Classical Era of Greece, 500 -338 BCE, made way to many different changes in Athenian history. The Athenian government changed from a tyranny to a democracy, and after the Persian war in 499 BCE, Athens’ started to became a military superpower, as well. Due to Themistocles advocating to build a stronger navy, their military power grew, causing Athens’ economy to rise becoming the richest city-states. The Peloponnesian War brought out the importance of politicians and leaders, because now the government is run by the people. This war brought two of the most prominent and influential individuals to lead Athens through the war and shaped Athens’ future. The two leaders are cousins, Pericles and Alcibiades. They have multiple similarities, like their lineage and education, while also utilizing their unique personalities in their leadership skills.

The qualities of the Athenian life that Pericles mentions are that they are far from practicing a jealous surveillance over each other because they do not feel like they should be angry with there neighbors for doing what they like, but all there private relations does not make them lawless as citizens. He also say’s that they provide plenty of means for there mind to refresh itself from the business, that they celebrate games and sacrifices all the year round.

Pride is an emotion in each human being possesses. The Athenian's and American people's prides plays a powerful part in their country for we are proud of the country that we live in.

It is the country our ancestors built and we value it in our history. A country's history can represent many different aspects of their culture and civilization.

Social class plays a major role in a society. A person’s social class affects his/her education, respectability, and ability to get a job. Most people in America’s society are born into their social class, but it is easier now to move up than it was in 16th century England. Although there are some slight differences in these two social classes, the social classes of 16th century England are shockingly similar to the social classes of modern day America.

What does freedom mean to one person? How do they define it, and do different groups of people interpret the importance of freedom differently? These questions have been asked by philosophers since the beginning of the Enlightenment. After the Protestant reformation, freedom meant the right to practice your own religion. The English colonies of America in the 1770’s valued a say in parliament. Black revolutionaries such as Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr fought for equal social and political standing for blacks in the United States. Throughout history, the definition of freedom has meant similar things to different groups of people, especially the freedom to express oneself and the promise of basic human rights. These ideas are greatly focused on in Marjane Satrapi’s graphic novel Persepolis, a memoir of her experiences and her personal life as a child during the Iranian Revolution. From a young age, Satrapi begins to develop her own opinion of what freedom means, using the circumstances around her as motivation to stand up for what she believes in. During the whole of Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi defines freedom for herself due to influences of those around her, witnessing a fundamentalist regime brainwash her generation in order to remain in power, and fighting back for what she believes is right.

The concept of social class has been around for ages and is still a part of today’s society. Social class is not only based on the individual’s wealth but also on their social standing such as; monarchs, priests, nobles, merchants, and peasant class. The peasant class was practically ignored, which means that the higher classes would only pay attention to each other. This can be the case in society today, there are some people who feel that their career makes them higher than a janitor. Even though humans have been around for centuries, social class is still a big issue.

Not cognisant of why the world works around them, the main characters in both Persepolis, and A Long Way Gone play roles as victims, while struggling to be heroes. Themes of Revolution and Rhetoric are primarily present in Persepolis, the story of a childhood girl by Marjane Satrapi. The tale is told from the perspective of a young girl, taking place in Iran, during the Islamic revolution. A Long Way Gone, the gripping story of a child’s journey through hell and back, by Ishmael Beah deeply connects to Persepolis in terms of each story’s message. Coping with each’s individual problems, as well as the problems coinciding with the war, each child at one point feels hopeless. As children, they are not advocates of their battles, feeling as if

Social class describes the different "layers" that exist in society. These "layers," or classes in society, are a division that civilization has been running on ever since the beginning of mankind. In most modern societies, our system of social class division is one of opportunity. We experience a good deal of social mobility, where people through generations or in their own lifetime can move up or down the social scale. By examining the many different perceptions of social class along with S.E. Hinton's The Outsiders, it is illustrated that social class has an impact on people while they are growing up, and will usually deny them from rising above adversity.

Athens is a major Greek city-state in European history. It was a great center of cultural and intellectual development, and thus home to philosophers. Socrates and Pericles, two of these philosophers, had polarizing opinions about the city-state and its citizens. While Pericles chooses to praise the Athenian citizen, Socrates criticizes Athens’ people. Pericles gave his opinion at a funeral during the first battles of the Peloponnesian War, while Socrates gave his during the trial that ultimately led to his death. The Athenian city-state has become a model for today’s systems of government and a hearth for western philosophy, so Pericles’ opinion seems to be the one that is more accurate.

In Marjane Satrapi’s graphic novel Persepolis, the author explores Marji’s evolution from being a confused girl who listens to what she is told to a confident young woman who stands away from social norms, in order to illustrate society’s participation in rebellion against religious leaders who want to create an oppressed society.
