The End of an Era in Egypt

As promised, here is a link to a time-line of events which led to to the resignation of President Mubarak in Egypt.  For the first three periods, we discussed this current event and we heard Mubarak's speech in which he vowed to NEVER leave Egypt.  By the time I taught periods 6-8, he had resigned his position.  This was history in action to say the least.  Regardless, feel free to look at the link below and add a comment to ask a question or share a thought...



Next, I wanted to post this graphic and ask any of you (or all of you) to try to describe it in the form of a comment...  Again, feel free to post any questions as well. 



Have a great weekend and I will see you all on Monday!  Who knows what will be going on in Egypt by then...

This image is basically showing the timeline of government in Greece. First it started in the Dark Ages, when cicilization collapsed. They also forgot about writing and threw it out the window. After the Dark Ages, the Greece government took to the form of Aristocratic rule. This is when only the powerful and rich had a vote in which rules of desicions were made. Then, Greeks began to dislike the Aristocratic rule and middle classes moved to another type of government called the Age of tyrants. In this way of government, the middle classes ruled. And lastly, the goverment changed again to DEMOCRACY, this type, many people would say was the most fair. This gave people voice, control, oppertunities, participation, and fairness. This type of government INSPIRED the type of government called republic.
~THE END~ (beat that MacK :P)
