514 Words3 Pages

After years of hard work, I have finally created the world's most powerful invention that will change the world and no one even knows it. I am tired of people stealing each other's work and getting away with it. There has to be change and I know exactly how. I must go back into the past and give the rightful owner credit. You may ask how exactly I am going to achieve this well, I have created a time machine. I will first go to 460 BCE to see Democritus.

Why see Democritus? He is known for the origins of the atom theory when that is not the case at all. They use the word adapted a lot when people talking about Democritus. Democritus didn’t adapt he copied someone else's work. His mentor, Leucippus had the exact same theory and Democritus just takes it like it was his. Now, I have an obsession with giving credit to Leucippus. The only way to make me sane once again is to give credit to him. I go beside my …show more content…

People look different, buildings are almost unrecognizable, everything is unfamiliar in my eyes. I have strategical planning and researching day and day so I know exactly what to do. I already have the knowledge where Democritus is because of my research. With a compass in my hand, I walk for several hours. After hours of hard work, I had gotten to Democritus house. I had walked right in and I had frozen in place because I had heard a voice. I eavesdrop into their conversation until I had figured Leucippus was with him. Leucippus yells out to Democritus “ It was my idea, you can’t just take it.” Then Democritus says “no one has to know that, it is my idea now.” I stand up to take down Democritus. When the both see me, shock feels their face and you can tell they are both extremely confused. I speak up, and say “Democritus you will not get away with this, I heard your entire conservation and I shall expose you.” Democritus begs on his knees for me not to. I ponder about for a brief amount of time and I had made my

    In some ways of thought Democritus introduced the atomic process, without disrupting the single substance idea. For example, a chair is a chair, if we take a closer look that chair is composed of atoms. The chair is not a chair because of its look; it is a chair because of its atoms. The same may be said for a table, a clock, or any being. With this in consideration is Democritus really a

    Thomas Jefferson had his own ideas concerning how he wanted the government to function. Thomas Jefferson mainly focuses on farmers, he wanted the farmer to stay self-sufficient, personally independent, and not attach to anyone when it came to their independence. Jefferson’s Democrat was talked about in the newspapers, which was well recognized throughout the globe. I believe that Jefferson meant well and look out for the poor man, but he went about it the wrong way.

  • Why Is Democracy Expanded Prior To The Early Republic?

    1000 Words  | 4 Pages

    During the Early Republic, some people may argue that democracy for Americans was not expanded, however, I argue that democracy was in fact expanded for Americans during this time period. Democracy for Americans may have been limited prior to the Early Republic, however, there are several reasons why I argue that democracy was expanded during this time. The Missouri Admission Act of 1820 allowed people in Missouri to form a state government, George Washington’s Farewell Address in 1796 provided guidance to the American people on how to approach certain political matters and an 1815 engraving titled “American Guided by Wisdom” showed how Americans felt following the ending of the War of 1812. These primary sources help to argue and support my

  • Democracy In Ancient Athens

    I believe that ancient Athens was not a true democracy. In a democracy all of the people are able to vote, and have a choice on who runs their city. In ancient Athens only the men were able to vote. Their government was Demokratia, and this excluded the women, the children, the metics, and the slaves. Even though their government was ran by the people themselves, only the men in the city could vote.

    Democracy, a form of government, allows the people in their own nationality to vote for people in order for them to become representatives as a result to vote on new laws that would affect their own nationality. One of the many states of Greece, ancient Athens was indeed not truly democratic as a result of not inclusive, other than male citizens, to gain authority in ancient Athens, ¨Demokratia was ruled by male citizens only, excluding women, free foreigners(Metics) and slaves.¨(Document D), therefore ruling Athens was only accessible to male citizen since since women, free foreigners(Metics), and slaves were not allowed to rule as a result of not being male citizens. One of the many states of Greece, ancient Athens, was indeed not truly democratic as a result of not even using the essentials of democracy that is used today, “Thus, by our standards, it was oligarchy, not democracy.¨(Document D), therefore ancient Athens was not using democracy as their form of government, they were using oligarchy,another form of government in which a small group of people has power and control, as their form of government instead of democracy.
