Today‚ despite the press throwing out propaganda for sleaze‚ sensationalism and superficiality‚ using the media as a watchdog and guardian‚ remains deeply engrained in a democratic society. The reality is that the media in new and restored democracy does not always live up to expectations to the public. They are restrained by stringent laws‚ monopolies‚ and sometimes physical force.

Week 3 : The Ancient Greece Democracy in Ancient Greece was the ideal way of governing‚ since all the citizens could take part to the political life. To this day‚ Athens represents the only example of a direct democracy. The Persians have always had a very different culture from the Greek culture‚ so we can call it almost the opposite.
