My assessment of the method about what Hansen and Anderson use to define a polis is to compare their ideas with social sciences. In this manner‚ a comparison of both author’s ideas about the topic of what a polis could be defined could yield with a nice conclusion. After my reading and analysis‚ I can see two different sides that one of them is Weber and Hansen‚ and the other side is Hobbes‚ Berent‚ and Anderson. Hansen disagrees with Berent’s outcomes about how a Greek polis must be defined. In

IS POETRY DEAD? Yes‚ poetry is dead to some extent. Poetry in the classical sense is dead anyway‚ but there is still poetry in today ’s society. We may not look at it in the same way we did years ago because it has changed. We as a society do not take the time to read as we once did‚ to understand and enjoy literary text. I agree with Wexler ’s statements "we have become lazy and lack the knowledge‚ commitment‚ and patience to understand and enjoy poetry." I myself do not understand poetry

Todd Hido is an American photographer‚ his main subjects are landscapes‚ portraits‚ and interiors. I was initially drawn by his Houses at Night series. The series is of houses‚ most likely middle class American housing units‚ photographed in the dark. The photographs have an eerie quality.

The photos resemble a memory rather
