Sparta was ruthless. Their army ruled over all others. Sparta a very violent civilization. They had the krypteria who would go out and murder the helots. Although Sparta had a superior army, the weaknesses of Sparta still outweigh the strengths because they were lacking in education, they were very abusive, and they provided the boys with an awfully unfair amount of supplies.
First off, Sparta lacked very much in education. Document A mentions, “Only the rudiments [basics] of reading and writing were taught.” Every child deserves the proper education, nevertheless Sparta took that away. Spartans weren’t allowed to read books or perform plays. Sparta was so wound up with having a strong army that they didn’t “waste their time” on an actual
To begin with,any society that abuses their children deserves to crumble.Sparta was a city-state in ancient Greece that focused on military training.They focused too much on military training rather than education.The weakness of Sparta outweigh the strengths of Sparta because they lacked education,boys were taken away from families,and they were abusive.
To begin with, Spartans had little to no education taught to any of its people. In Document D, the text states that “Spartans learned to read and write for purely practical reasons.” This caused the Spartans to be poorly educated. They were not allowed any other forms of education other than reading or writing. Spartans were also not allowed to read. This will not allow Sparta to grow and
In many ways, Sparta's weaknesses overweigh the weakness. It’s cruel, sexist, wrong, unfair and not equal. Spartan boys were forced to learn military education and the system was cruel document A Boys were taken at age 8 to 21, document B One garment no shoes starving, Document D basic education was illegal If you never learned math, writing, reading, art, music, science, and history what would it be like?
To begin with Spartans lacked formal education.In Document D the text states,” [The Spartans] learned to read and write for purely practical: but all forms of education they banned from the country,”.Spartans were not aloud to read books or treatises. They could not travel outside of Sparta or have foreign teachers. They could not write, watch, or perform in plays. They never taught to have an opinion or think for themselves. Spartan’s only focus was on the military education which did not help their society survive.
They were forced to sneak into helot territory with a dagger and a lot of food and secretly capture and kill some helots (Doc C). This was bad because their soldiers became murders. Then because they were forced to do that after the horrible earthquake the helots rebelled and threatened Sparta with considerable danger ( Doc C). That is a bad education system that could possibly end
Ancient education was filled with a lot of harsh and rough training, but it was necessary. Spartan education was very tough for This is because they were an extremely militaristic community that focused on physical training rather than reading and writing. They were training them in such a way that would bring upon them unbearable pain and agony. The strengths of Spartan education far outweigh the weaknesses, this is because women were equal to men, Spartans were vigorously trained to be strong, and that everyone was taught to be respectful and obedient.
Imagine fighting to the death with your peers in 8th grade, battle training from the age of 7, and never meeting your parents for 14 years! Well, all Spartan boys had to go through this and much more. They had to fight against their peers to survive in harsh conditions of the Spartan culture. The Spartan civilization was one of the most well renowned Greek city-states. This civilization had the strongest warriors and defeated Athens in the Peloponnesian War.
First, because Sparta’s public meeting were controlled. All of the public meeting spent the time praising Spartans made sure there was not time for offensive behaviors or words by “focus[ing] on noble deeds performed by Spartan citizens” (Document 1). Furthermore, education in Sparta was very small. “ [The Spartans] learned to read and write for purely practical reasons” (Document 3). Learning to write a play would not have been acceptable. Finally, Sparta focused on only two thing, raising warriors and controlling citizens . “Even distribution of land and…common meals were intended to make the citizens temperate…and climate civil disorder” (Document 2) The entire focus of the community was to have warriors, making and watching plays would only make it more difficult to raise soldiers. Sparta’s extreme focus on raising soldiers and keeping there citizen in line left no time to perform and view
Spartan's were a dominating army that were more strong then all of the of the other armies from different city-states. now we need to know what they did at home while the men were at war. It's like when the U.S. Army goes out for war, what do the rest of the military soldiers go when the rest are at war. This is something that we need to discover from the Spartans and we also need to know if the strengths outweighed the weaknesses or did not.
In conclusion, the strengths in Sparta’s education did not outweigh the weaknesses. Children were taken from their families at a young age with no option and if they were born unhealthy they would be left outside the city to die. Kids had to endure a very harsh and hard training to become a soldier. Kids had to kill innocent people and they were abused a lot and
Sparta was a small country. And with only 8,000 men in the army, it was unlikely to be strong. However, believe it or not, Sparta was one of the most powerful city - state in Greece in continuously many years, despite the fact that Athens, another impressive city state, was existing. So what makes Sparta so strong? What makes that very small country being that powerful?
In ancient Sparta, the strengths of their educational system had outweighed their weaknesses in many ways. The history of Sparta proved their military was one of the best, and having such a small city-state, they had to make do with a limited amount of soldiers. They started out as a small coastal town made out of a few houses, and later grew into a large enough area to be deemed as a city-state. With that growth came the start of the agoge, an educational system in ancient Sparta. The agoge was a state-controlled system where kids trained to become soldiers.
Throughout history there were many armies that were strong and courageous when it came to battle, but none as strong as the army of Sparta and their strong education system. The city-state in Greece that was located in the peninsula of Peloponnesus was considered a “tiny powerhouse” in the eastern Mediterranean, whose greatest rival was Athens. They had a very strong army and battle strategy, called the phalanx, that allowed them to compete in many battles in history. Some of the battles included the Peloponnesus War, the battle of Thermopylae, and the invasion of the Persians. One of the main factors in the Spartans ability to compete in those battles against Athens and the outside world was because of the education system that they had in
Sparta valued their religion and how they ran things in the kingdom. They had the same religion as the Greeks did. They had cults in which they worshiped Zeus like the Greeks and had buildings made for Zeus to make sacrifices or to praise him. They were very low in population and could hardly keep their soldiers organized and in check. The Spartans had an Oligarchical rule where they passed money and property down through their families to make sure they would have money; this is how they stayed rich.
Sparta had three groups of people. The slaves who were the ones that did all the work, Spartan females who were taught to be fit and be patriotic. Last were the Spartan males who were taught to fight and to aspire to be the perfect
