Debate Arguments

In preparation for the Greek Assembly, students can earn 5 extra credit points by posting an argument for or against their assigned proposition.

Abolish Slavery Proposition
Slavery in Hellas should be abolished. It is a practice which blights the glory, the achievements, and the unity of our people.

Women's Rights Proposition
Women have benn denied equal rights as Greeks for too long and should be allowed to have full citizenship with voting rights in the Assembly.

Give in to the Persians
We Greeks should give in to the Persian barbarians as they prepare to invade our lands as they did 10 years ago. We are too small in numbers and too powerless to oppose them. Therefore, we should cooperate, lay down our arms, and become part of the mighty Persian Empire.
