Tuesday, August 28-Wednesday, August 29

Today we read about the beginnings of democracy and we read an excerpt from philosopher Aristotle and discussed his ideas about the importance of the middle class in a democracy.  Your assignment is due on Thursday, August 30 ("A" days) or Tuesday, September 4 ("B" days).

1) Read Disappearing Middle-Class Jobs or Why Middle Class Jobs are Disappearing...
After you read the article and analyze what Aristotle says about the middle class. If Aristotle is right about the importance of the middle class, what effect do you think the “disappearing” middle-class will have on our democracy?
