Truth Decays: Using Ancient Athenian democracy to learn more about modern politics.
Subject
Politics
Description
Truth Decays Blog
My URSS project looked at the solutions Ancient Athenian Democracy can offer modern politics. Barack Obama said that we currently face a truth decay, where the truth does not matter anymore. My project examined the solutions, and warnings, we could take from Ancient Athenian Democracy on this problem.
I created a website and wrote a blog for my posts on this topic (link above) and presented at the Feelings of Freedom of Festival with my supervisor, Professor Michael Scott, on this topic. Doing this research taught me about how to write to appeal to a wide audience, and how to communicate with people with a variety of knowledge of the ancient world.
