Pericles significantly transformed Athenian life by promoting democracy, expanding public participation in government, and initiating ambitious building projects, such as the Parthenon, which created jobs and enhanced civic pride. He also introduced pay for public officials, allowing poorer citizens to engage in politics. The lower and middle classes benefited the most from these changes, as they gained greater access to political power and economic opportunities, reducing the dominance of the aristocracy.
Well, isn't that just a happy little question? Pericles believed that the Athenian system of education gave its citizens a double advantage because it not only taught them to be knowledgeable and skilled individuals, but also instilled in them a sense of civic duty and responsibility. By nurturing both their minds and their sense of community, the Athenians were better equipped to contribute positively to society and lead fulfilling lives.
I would consider nieher of them to be better. I believe that Larry the Cucumber is better b/c he is one sexy cucumber lol hahahahahahahah
Farmers have benefited from better roads in villages by gaining improved access to markets, which allows them to sell their produce more efficiently and at better prices. Enhanced transportation reduces the time and costs associated with delivering goods, leading to increased profitability. Additionally, better roads facilitate the timely arrival of essential supplies, such as seeds and fertilizers, thereby boosting agricultural productivity. Overall, improved infrastructure contributes to economic growth and better livelihoods for farmers.
Pericles did not rule - Athens was a direct democracy, with the people assembling every couple of weeks to make laws and gice direction to a large executive council of 500. Pericles was a general (there were 10 of them - one elected by each tribe), however as a good orator, he was able to influence the popular assembly. He is better described as First Citizen. His influence lasted from about 450 BCE until hi death in 429 BCE.
Yes and no. The Romans initially persecuted the Christians and martyred their saints, then the Roman Empire became Christian and institutionalized the church, for better or worse.
Pericles did a lot of good for Athenians. He had the power of a tyrant, but he used it for the welfare of the people. He also made some new and better laws. One was that anybody who fought in the Athenian army should be paid for doing so. Some of today's American laws are said to be adapted from Pericles's ideas. --DanW12321

Different people in different ages. However what is 'better' - better at what.
The Athenians had more money so they had better things, and more of. Sparta was worried most about war and didnt care about money and trades. Haylee, World History.
Socrates questioned Athenians about their beliefs to engage them in critical thinking and to challenge their assumptions. He believed that through questioning and dialogue, individuals could gain a better understanding of the truth and develop their intellectual capacities.
Workplace conditions were better- Rural workers benefitted

Pericles called Athens the school for all Greece, because he believed that Athens was better than all the other cities in culture and government. He believed that all the other city states should follow Athens example.
