In what way was Spartan government like a democracy?
Sparta's government was different than other Greek governments. They had two kings ruled the city, but a 28-member council of elders limited the powers of the kings. These men were recruited from the aristocratic Spartiates.
What kind of government did Sparta have?
Sparta had a government that consisted of two kings (one from the Agrid family and one from the Eurypontid family), five Ephors (supreme magistrates), the Gerousia (council of elders) and the Apella (the assembly of equals - all Spartan men over the age of 30). The kings and the Ephors made all the most important decisions about the state and battle and education and the Gerouisa had a big input in law but even if they all make a unanimous decision it can still be overruled by the whole Apella. In that sense it is an almost democratic government except that woman or slaves cannot have a say.The Spartan government was a fusion of monarchy, oligarchy and demoracy.The government of Sparta consisted of the two kings, the Gerousia, the Ephors and the Ecclesia/Apella:Gerousia - It consisted of the two kings plus 28 elders.

Similarities between political life in Athens?
Very few to almost none. Also it really depends the time period, because Athens was not always a democracy and has passed many political phases such as tyranny, oligarchy, aristocracy etc. Sparta was an Oligarchic State; officially a Diarchical Monarchy (Kingdom) with two royal families reigning in turns, had a typical and ceremonial role but they were the head of the Armed Forces. They were far from absolute power as the Gerousia (30 (28+the 2 kings) Elders from high class would form the Senate and be elected from the Apella, meaning the people) would be the ones to have judicial role and confirm a law. The kings were though above Gerousia. The Kings though were also under the oversight of the Ephoroi (lit. they who over-see) a body that made sure that the Kings would not abuse their power and could veto them. In other words, it was a triangular system of control of one above another so no-one would obtain absolute power.
What is a capuchin monk?
The Golden-bellied Capuchin (Cebus xanthosternos), also known as the Yellow-breasted or Buffy-headed Capuchin, is one of several Speciesof New_World_monkey.Although there are differences between individuals as well as between the sexes and across age groups, C. xanthosternos is described as having a distinctive yellow to golden red chest, belly and upper arms. Its face is a light brown and its cap for which the Capuchin_monkeywere first named is a dark brown/black or light brown. Formerly thought to be a Subspeciesof Tufted_Capuchin(C. apella), it was elevated to the status of species. Despite this previous classification, C. xanthosternos does not have very evident tufts, as they are oriented towards the rear of the skull and are hardly noticeable. A band of short hair around the upper part of the face with speckled colouring contrasts with the darker surrounding areas. The limbs and tail are also darkly coloured.Populations of C. xanthosternos are restricted to the Atlanticforest of south-eastern Bahia,Brazil, due possibly to high degrees of interference from man. Historically they probably would have inhabited the entire area east of, and north to, the São_Francisco_River.Only 300 individuals survive
When could ancient Greeks lose their jobs and if so was it possible to get another one?
The ancient Greek societies from Kingdome to Aristocracy to Tyranny and Democracy were mostly farming societies. At Kingdoms it was the King's duty to collect and redistribute the city's product among its citizen. Their rights were to bring arms and participate at wars defending their city and Kings. The people of a city that was conquered were enslaved and not slaughtered were obliged to work for their masters for their every day food. The educated ones were nursing/ teaching the children of their masters and were living a better life than their enslaved compatriots. At occasions some were released either in recognition of services provided or they bought their freedom. In the later cases that they gained freedom they could live within the city's territories without civil rights of the hosting city and were permitted to conduct business of services and trade. In case of wars were mobilized but had little involvement in the battlefield A similar mode of living existed in all other cases but the difference was that in the aristocratic system the city's land belonged to the families that had a royal or aristocratic descent. In tyranny the tyrants taxed everybody. In democracy the land belonged to individual citizens who with the help of slaves or paid labour cultivated their farms. If somebody lost or sold his land usually lost his citizenship and of course his civil rights to elect and be elected. The city rulers had to plan all public interest works i.e. roads, bridges, armour, ships of war, the city walls, theatres and everything was constructed with the city's funds from the taxation of all financial activity and the volunteer sponsorship of various projects and activities such as the performances of tragedies/ comedies by the wealthy persons of the city [actually they were competing about who would provide the best sponsorship]. The life of an average citizen in ancient Greece was organized to three hours work, three hours personal development -gym, education, literature, three hours leisure time/ personal care - breakfast, meals, hygiene, rituals, family issues and three hours city/ public issues [agora, ecclesia = parliament]. The above were applicable for the cities that moved in the time span from kingdom to democracy with most characteristic example the one of Athens. On the other hand Sparta and its allies maintained a system closer to kingdom with the involvement of the citizens in the government of the city/ kingdom. For instance there was a King/ General of all armed forces but in order to take a decision on war issues it should be approved by the political authority of the apella/ ecclesia=parliament of Sparta. The land belonged to the state and it was cultivated by the slaves of wars [είλωτες=helots]. Spartan citizens, men and women alike, from the age of six or seven were mobilized and lived their life in camps, where they were educated and daily trained for war and prepared to defend their state. Spartans were the only Greeks that did not participate to the Alexander's forces in his expedition to Persia that lead to the fall of the house of Achaemenid.
