chapter5


Ch. 5
Well I think it is safe to say that the India culture is very intriguing.  The way they think of social classes is so different and odd to me.  They have four social castes and you can only move up in class by dying and coming back in a different caste.  This is so foreign to me because I was taught that with enough drive and work I could become anything I wanted.  I also find it different that teachers and priests are higher in social class than rulers.
If I were alive at this time I would much rather live in Sparta than Athens.  Being a woman I would have nothing at all going for me in Athens.  They treat women with no importance whatsoever.  According to Aristotle says this is because woman cannot produce sperm.  That is a little crazy to be the reason why woman are less important.
