Introduction to Philosophy lecture 26

Today we discussed John Dewey and education as a requirement for a functioning democracy. The youtube video of Boris Johnson and Mary Beard debating Greece and Rome fit nicely as we considered the nature of our republic. How much of a voice does each voter have, how much of a voice should they have, how important is their education regarding the quality of their vote and the impact on government. I neglected to make a video of this discussion. The quiz question is which civilization had a greater impact on ours, Greece or Rome? Or would you say both equally?
