Slavery And Democracy In Ancient Greece

Athens states rose in the 8th century BC and declined in the 4th century BC.For hundreds of years,Greece has left the world rich wealth.Ancient Greece is the birthplace of modern western civilization,which is not only reflected in the splendid culture created by the ancient Greeks,it can be said that ancient Greece has made great contributions to the development of human civilization,especially western civilization in philosophy,art,science,architecture and other fields,but also created a political civilization that is praised by later generations.The most discussed democratic system of ancient Greece is its unique democratic practice,which provides a lot of enlightenment for the development of human democracy.However,looking at the history of the development of Western democratic politics,it is not difficult to find that slavery has been accompanied by the emergence and development of Western democratic politics.It can be said that the democratic politics and slavery of ancient Greece and Athens are inseparable,It even presents a symbiotic relationship.This paper takes Athenian democracy and slavery as the main line,and tries to discuss the following questions at the same time:(1)the origin of ancient Athenian city-state slavery and democracy;(2)the establishment and development of ancient Athenian city-state slavery and democracy;(3)the evaluation of the historical status and role of Athenian city-state democracy.At the same time,because this course is the first course about world history in senior high school history compulsory one,students in junior high school have little contact with ancient world history,and lack of necessary basic knowledge;in addition,the content of ancient Greek democracy involves geography,as well as the marine civilization that has never been touched,which is relatively theoretical,so these contents are difficult for students.From another point of view,this is also the starting point for students to learn ancient world history.Good teaching of this course can stimulate students' interest in history,so this course is very important.Inaddition,the inherent thinking of students is that slavery represents backwardness.It is necessary to let students understand that slavery is not equal to backwardness.In Athens at that time,slavery was accompanied by the rise and fall of democracy.In the society at that time,slavery played a positive role in social development.At the same time,when promoting the advantages of democracy,we should also understand that Athens ' s democratic system still has a certain degree Limitations of.Athenian democracy in the late5 th century B.C.was based on enslavement of the original Tiro allies.Not everyone was a citizen,not everyone had democratic power.In fact,it was the democracy of all Athenians,not the democracy of all imperial subjects.Therefore,in this context,if the teaching materials were not handled properly,the teaching effect would not be ideal.Starting from the special geographical position of Athens,this paper analyzes the development of industry and Commerce in Athens,combined with the inherent contradictions and difficulties of democracy itself,and discusses several important reforms,such as Solon reform,christini reform and Pericles reform.And here we emphasize this event in the late5 th century B.C.,5 B.C In the late 20 th century,Athens was in a special historical period from the heyday to the failure of the war.After the Peloponnesian War,the political and economic crisis in Athens accelerated the change of the political system,even the political turmoil of subverting the democratic system and establishing the oligarchy government.The city-state of Yadian was declining Finally,from the three basic aspects of democracy,freedom and equality,this paper discusses the relationship between the people,the Lord and the A comparative study of modern representative democracy is carried out in order to obtain a more comprehensive and clear recognition of democratic politics Knowledge.
