The police removed the protesters from parliament.

The parliament member are expected to approve austerity measures that influence almost every aspect of the Greek economy which is in a hard debt crisis. The program is expected to contain measures such as from cutting public servants wages, employee pensions and even reducing the minimum wage.

Cabinet ministers of the Greek government approved the provisional, difficult and painful cuts program yesterday. It reduces more than 13 billion euros from the budget. Now, Parliament’s approval is required and another cut of 325 million euros is needed to meet the demands posed to the Greeks by the European Central Bank, the World Bank and the IMF – as a condition for assistance in arranging state debts.

Cabinet approved the draft plan after Prime Minister Lucas Ffdmos threatened to fire any minister that would dare to object. “Anyone who would not vote for the new reforms will not be able to stay in the government,” said Ffdmos in a speech to the Greek Cabinet, after the announcement of the resignation of three ministers of Greece and 3 deputy ministers who disapproved of the new austerity plan. Conversely, great pressure on ministers on Greek Street.

Aristotle not only studied almost every subject possible at the time, but made significant contributions to most of them. In physical science, Aristotle studied anatomy, astronomy, embryology, geography, geology, meteorology, physics and zoology. In philosophy, he wrote on aesthetics, ethics, government, metaphysics, politics, economics, psychology, rhetoric and theology. He also studied education, foreign customs, literature and poetry. His combined works constitute a virtual encyclopedia of Greek knowledge. It has been suggested that Aristotle was probably the last person to know everything there was to be known in his own time. Near the end of Alexander’s life, Alexander began to suspect plots against himself, and threatened Aristotle in letters. Aristotle had made no secret of his contempt for Alexander’s pretense of divinity, and the king had executed Aristotle’s grandnephew Callisthenes as a traitor. A widespread tradition in antiquity suspected Aristotle of playing a role in Alexander’s death, but there is little evidence for this.

Upon Alexander’s death, anti-Macedonian sentiment in Athens once again flared. Eurymedon the hierophant denounced Aristotle for not holding the gods in honor. Aristotle fled the city to his mother’s family estate in Chalcis, explaining, “I will not allow the Athenians to sin twice against philosophy,” a reference to Athens’s prior trial and execution of Socrates. However, he died in Euboea ofnatural causes within the year (in 322 BC). Aristotle named chief executor his student Antipater and left a will in which he asked to be buried next to his wife.[

The countryside plays an important role in the lives of the Greeks, however as a result of the Peloponnesian War the prosperity of life in the country is no longer possible for farmers such as Trygaeus and Dikaipolis’; it doesn’t take much to ruin a crop as a result the lifestyle of the countryside can easily be destroyed.  In Acharnians, Aristophanes’ sets up a sort of opposition between life in the country and life in the city, this opposition is expressed in economic terms where in the country “we produced everything we needed for ourselves” – as a result life in the country is easier because they do not need the money which is required in the city, they are self-sufficient. It is clear that Dikaipolis wants to go back to the country, probably the case of other farmers too, when he says “all the time I’m gazing at the countryside over yonder and pining for peace, cursing the city and yearning to get back to the countryside”, by pursuing a personal peace and accomplishing this he would able to return to his life in the country.  In Peace we see how it is the ordinary people of Athens who want peace, the chorus is made up of the working men who want peace, suggesting like what is very much examined as the main theme throughout The Knights that the democracy which should be occurring in Athens due to the Assembly is not happening due to the corruptness within it – it is becoming a demagoguery.

In Peace the brilliant idea which allows Trygaeus to get to heaven, a flying dung beetle is an agricultural one, suggesting that those who want peace are the patriotic ones because they are able to use things which are important to the way in which they live their lives.  Furthermore as a reward for obtaining peace he is presented with Festival, who he “[presents to Chairman Executive Committee]” and also Harvest who he keeps so that he “may be the father of innumerable pretty little bunches of grapes”. This once again shows that peace is not unpatriotic, because it allows people to live their lives in a natural state of affairs without the worry of being summoned for war and having to have “rations for three days” ready. Furthermore in Peace a pestle is used as a metaphor for the cities which have been destroyed such as “city of leeks, ruin on ruin on ruin… today you shall be destroyed” – it is the crop of the land which is being destroyed, further showing the importance of the land in Greece and how by destroying this it is being unpatriotic. 

Throughout The Knights, Peace and Acharnians, the idea of the war being unnecessary is a constant theme; this is certainly even more apparent in The Knights where the events in Pylos the previous year (425BC) could have brought an end to the war. As Sparta had sent peace envoys to Athens only for them to be turned away by Cleon – “she says she came you of her own accord…with a basket full of peace treaties for you, and three times in full Assembly, you voted her down”. After the events in Pylos many thought, in particular Cleon, that Athens could win the war without a peace treaty having to be made – in reality Athens lost the war seventeen years after the events in Pylos and the opportunity of peace. Aristophanes suggests that it is largely due to the unwillingness and corruption within the city’s administration which prevents peace, suggesting that a large amount of Athenians want peace, although no Greek was a pacifist; however it is difficult to know how likely corruption was and how reliable Aristophanes’ is about it. Particularly in regards to the corruption it is suggested that Cleon is part of because the grudge he holds against his (his experience is shown in Acharnians) – “he dragged me into the Council Chamber, made all sorts of trumped-up charges…I very nearly perished in the flood of filth”. In the opening sequence of The Knights we several examples of how the concern of the Boule is not with getting peace, “How to get peace – they don’t give a damn about that” but rather on getting a good seat.  In “The Knights” we see how Cleon is a bully, despite his status as a slave, “what else can we do? If we say no, we’ll find ourselves shitting eight times as hard when he spins his yarn to master”, by Cleon being a bully throughout the play is suggests that corruption is happening with the city’s administration because Cleon is able to get his way through undemocratic methods. Aristophanes’ uses the complex insult of “he can have his arse in Bigholia, his hands in the public purse, and his Robbers’ Vale, all at one and the same moment”- this is bad for the democracy because it effectively means that one person is able to run a so called democracy, it has effectively become a demagoguery.  Furthermore is “hands in the purse”, suggests that Cleon is using his position to take money from the state for his own gain, how plausible this claim is however is not clear because of the constant financial checks to make sure something like that is not happening, corruption however one would think of a sort must be happening because otherwise Aristophanes would not keep bringing this idea up. Later on in the play, the idea that Cleon just wants money is once again brought up “with enormous purses full of money” – it is only then that he is interest in who is coming. Aristophanes’ hate towards Cleon is further reinforced by the idea of a sausage-seller being able to do a better job than Cleon because he is better qualified because the sausage-seller is from “the worst birth you could think of” making him more qualified than Cleon because politics is “for illiterate scum like you now!” – which is possibly the single harshest comment on the situation in Athens at the time.  The comment suggests that the democracy used to actually be a democracy, however now politicians “[can’t have] any secret virtues on [their] conscience”, effectively meaning that they are no longer allowed to be nice or honest, Aristophanes’ his describing his view on Cleon and the general state of the city’s administration. In the closing stages of the play the state of the democracy is described as having “the wool [pulled] over yer eyes and left you in the lurch”, the assembly through Cleon had become open to abuse. The Sausage-seller is able to ‘cure’ the democracy by boiling Thepeople –“I’ve boiled Thepeople, made him young again” referring to the early days of the democracy when it was still a fair one, this boiling as made Thepeople like “he is as when, in the brave days of old”.

For Greeks, the idea of pacifism wasn’t really around as a result making Aristophanes’ plea for peace, through the characters in his play, somewhat unusual which to some extent gives the impression that maybe it isn’t that serious, however you do feel it is. This may partially be due to his hate of Cleon, almost like he doesn’t want to believe what he does, or it may be that he is seeing the consequences of war and realises that it is a war they probably won’t win. Through his use of the countryside we see how is patriotic, despite his want for plea, this is further reinforced by the fact that he is willing, if it is true, to undermine the democracy and expose the corruption within it.

“From Athens Arab Spring of ‘Busy Wall Street to Moscow,’” says the magazine on its cover, which shows a boy on the lower half of his face covered by a handkerchief.

The magazine’s editor, Richard Stengel, who announced the result on the “Today Show” on NBC, said the decision pays tribute to “the men and women around the world, particularly Eastern medium, which brought down governments and a sense of democracy and dignity to people who have not had before. “

“These are people that history is already changing and will change the story in the future,” said Stengel.

“We thought that these dictators would not be overthrown. And then these people risked their lives, risked their homes, their livelihoods, to go out and bring a change that no one had expected. It’s really something transformative and I think that is changing the world for the better, “he said.

The 2011 was the scene of an unstoppable wind of change from northern Africa, where popular demonstrations to topple the regimes in power spread like an oil stain from Tunisia to Egypt, Libya, Syria and Yemen.

Those protests, which often ended in bloodshed, were the inspiration for frustrated people in Europe and the United States by rising unemployment, financial chaos and the inability of governments to find solutions to the crisis that began in 2008.

“There is a contagion of protest (…). Because Iran anticipated what would happen in the Arab world and what happened in the Arab world influenced Let’s go occupy and occupy Wall Street Oakland and protests in Greece and Madrid,” said Stengel .

Also toyed with the name of Steve Jobs, Apple co-founder of whose recent death sent shock waves around the world, though his name was ruled out because “this was not the year that transformed” the technology industry, Stengel said.

In 2010, Time was selected as “Person of the Year” by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, who by then had become with his 26 years in the second youngest in history, after the American aviator Charles Lindbergh, personality of the year 1927, when he was 25.

Comparing Athens and Sparta is like comparing Heaven and Hell. The two are almost complete opposites. However, that is not to say that one was always good, and the other always bad. Each had its own pros and cons as measured by today’s standards in Australian society. The three key aregumens which support this theses are as follows: the treatement and views on woman and citizenship. The view which the two opposing sates took on freedom of choice, and finally, the states views on both the arts, and luxuries. 

Woman in Sparta lived vastly different lives to the woman in Athens. For example Spartan woman had a lot more rights, as well as respect. Though with this came more responsibilities. An example of this is that women in Sparta were expected to fend for themselves and, in times of war when the men were away in battle look after the community, even fight if it where necessary. Where as in Athens women were seen as necessary but inferior beings, who were not even classed as a citizen and who’s only role in life was to produce a male heir. According to Aristotle, an Ancient Greek Athenian Philosopher “Silence is the greatest possession a woman could have.”1 This really shows the Athenian’s viewed woman as an inferior object as opposed to the Spartan’s view on woman as a much more important and much more equal contributor to society.

Sparta and Athens also had very different views on freedom of choice. For example In Sparta there was only one compulsory job as a male, to become a soldier for the States military. From the age of seven young boys were taken away from their families and put through a series of gruelling military camps until the age of 30. While in the military young men were taught that to die in battle was to die a “beautiful death.”2 After reaching the age of 30 men were allowed have their own land and become a citizen. Were as in Athens people had a lot more freedom of choice. There was no such thing as compulsory enrolment in the military. People had a lot more freedom of choice. For example boys and men could learn and teach topics other than military subjects, such as philosophy, mathematics, geometry. Greek scholars such as Aristotle and Pythagoras are evidence of the richness of Athenian society and the freedom to learn and express ideas.

Athens had a much greater influence on Arts and music than Sparta. While Spartan’s had only one lifestyle, a compulsory military training, Athens was a much more versatile place, with a greater influence on music and arts. Life in Athens would have included a great deal more entertainment, such as theatre and parties, luxuries such as beautiful houses and plenty of food and radical ways of thinking such as the ideology of a democracy. Athens itself was no bland place to be, with hundreds of monuments and massive architectural feats. Whereas, “unlike Athens, Sparta is famous for not building things.”3  In Sparta things were much more bland and simple. The word spartan itself originated from the Spartan’ civilisation, as it was so absolutely minimalist and rugged.

In conclusion through comparing Sparta and Athens it is clear the two are almost complete opposites. However, unlike Heaven and Hell it is not as simple to say that one was always good and the other always bad. Each had its own good and bad points as measured by today’s standards in Australian society. Sparta treated women more respectfully than Athens. On the other hand Athens allowed its citizens more freedom to express their ideas. Through greater freedom of expression Athenians enjoyed a more diverse culture and lifestyle.

Talks between current Prime Minister George Papandreou and opposition leader Antonis Samaras have dragged into a second day as they try to hammer out a power-sharing deal. The two agreed over the weekend to forge an interim government that will shepherd the country’s new euro130 billion ($179 billion) European rescue package through Parliament.

Without the deal, agreed less than two weeks ago, Greece would go bankrupt, potentially wrecking Europe’s banking system and sending the global economy back into recession.

As yet, there are no precise details of when the new interim prime minister will be announced but the pressure is rising on Greek politicians to make decisions soon.

Another senior government official said Greece’s eurozone partners are demanding that five top Greek officials co-sign a letter reaffirming their commitment to the country’s bailout deals and economic reforms, in return for the release of a vital euro8 billion ($11 billion) loan installment later this month. He said those officials are Papandreou and Samaras, the Bank of Greece governor, the new prime minister and the new finance minister.

Earlier, the country’s ministers offered their resignations to Papandreou to pave the way for the creation of the interim government, which is only expected to last until Feb. 19.

“We have made our resignation available to the prime minister in order to help him with his actions,” Tourism Minister George Nikitiadis said. “My feeling is that tonight we will have a name (of the new premier). It’s going well.”

Deputy education minister Evi Christophilopoulou echoed the sentiment, saying “we are very close to forming a coalition government. This is very important for the stability of the country.”

The political crisis erupted last week, when Papandreou said he would put the new European rescue package to a referendum, and the country’s international creditors froze the payment of the next installment from Greece’s current loans.

Papandreou withdrew the plan Thursday after Samaras indicated he would back the new deal. But frustrated with the political turmoil in Greece, the international creditors have maintained the pressure even after the public vote idea was officially canceled.

Papandreou and Samaras reached a landmark agreement late Sunday for Papandreou to step down and the temporary government to be formed. The new prime minister would serve until an early election is held next year, with the most likely date being Feb. 19, the finance ministry has said.

The two main candidates being considered as interim premier are former European Central Bank Vice President Lucas Papademos and European Ombudsman Nikiforos Diamantouros, officials with knowledge of the negotiations told The Associated Press. They asked not to be identified, citing the sensitivity of the talks.

None of the people being considered have been announced publicly.

“What’s happening is unbelievable,” said Dora Bakoyannis, a former foreign minister and conservative party lawmaker who was expelled from the party for breaking ranks and voting in favor of an earlier austerity plan. She has now formed her own party.

“The country cannot take these petty political games any longer … What are they trying to do? Save their skin? But if the whole country goes down, who’s skin will be saved?” she said on Greece’s Skai television.

“The problem is not finding serious candidates, but whether those candidates will be allowed to do their job and not asked to be puppets.”

Greece has survived since May 2010 on a euro110 billion ($150 billion) rescue-loan program from its eurozone partners and the International Monetary Fund, but all agree it’s not enough. A second rescue package has been created which involves private bondholders who have agreed to cancel 50 percent of their Greek debt.

Though Greece has been locked out of long-term bond markets because of excessively-high interest rates, it has maintained a limited present in the market for short-term cash.

It raised euro1.3 billion in 26-week treasury bill auction Tuesday, with the sale producing a yield of 4.89 percent, only marginally higher than the 4.86 percent interest rate from a similar auction on Oct. 11. Tuesday’s sale was 2.91 times oversubscribed, up on October’s equivalent 2.73.

In return for its bailout cash, Greece has endured 20 months of punishing austerity measures. The efforts by Papandreou’s government to keep the country solvent have prompted violent protests, crippling strikes and a sharp decline in living standards for most Greeks.

Associated Press writers Elena Becatoros and Nicholas Paphitis in Athens and Costas Kantouris in Thessaloniki contributed.

Amid fears of the crisis worsening and the political situation in debt-laden Italy further imperilling the one currency, get together heads in close to-bankrupt Greece mentioned whereas settlement had been reached on an interim coalition government, additional talks have been required on the brand new administration’s life span and who would lead it.

An announcement issued after crunch talks between embattled prime minister George Papandreou, opposition leader Antonis Samaras and head of state Karolos Papoulias confirmed that the socialist premier had agreed to resign halfway by means of his four-12 months time period in workplace and would not be at the helm of the government.

But with no agency details on who would take over, the markets are braced for more volatility, forward of the eurozone finance ministers’ meeting at which the politicians will start a search for new sources of capital to spice up the area’s principal bailout fund to €1tn after the US and emerging powers refused to commit fresh funds on the G20 summit last week.

The 2-hour meeting on the presidential palace was the primary real breakthrough in the political impasse that has gripped Athens since Papandreou met Papoulias on Saturday, and announced that he would try to form a broad-primarily based administration that might steer the nation via its worst disaster in modern times.

The new government would pave the way in which to “quick elections” once it had achieved its objective of securing last month’s €130bn bailout bundle for Greece – an assist deal that has been greeted furiously by austerity-weary Greeks however is broadly seen as the eurozone’s major weapon against the debt-stricken nation defaulting and bringing down the remainder of the union with it.

Senior politicians from the ruling Pasok occasion and conservative New Democracy continued talks late into the night. Papandreou and Samaras will reconvene on Monday.

“This uncertainty that’s torturing the Greek individuals should finish,” said Papoulias ahead of the meeting. “We must find a solution. All of Europe desires us to discover a solution.”

The talks got here after Papandreou held his last cupboard meeting as prime minister and Samaras stepped up strain on his political opponent to stand aside.

Disagreement over who ought to succeed the 59-12 months-old scion of Greece’s most famous political dynasty was cited as the primary stumbling block despite the threat of a Greek exit from the EU if Athens failed, posthaste, to approve the controversial debt deal hammered out in Brussels in October.

Capturing the urgency of the scenario, the mass-promoting Sunday Kathimerini appealed for a new authorities to be sworn in by Monday to “avert bankruptcy and the return to the drachma”.

“At this level we do not care about faces,” it opined in a font-web page editorial. “The circumstances, our companions and most of all the Greek people, demand that a authorities of national salvation be formed by tomorrow AM.”

Officials in Brussels say the creation of a authorities that will symbolize Greece’s whole political spectrum is essential if the EU-IMF backed bailout is to be applied together with the painful austerity measures it’s going to inevitably entail.

For the first time since becoming a member of the then European Economic Community in 1981, Greece was informed last week that its membership of the bloc was at stake if it failed, inside weeks, to ratify the rescue plan.

“We have now called for a national unity authorities and remain persuaded that it is the convincing means of restoring confidence and assembly the commitments,” said EU financial and monetary affairs commissioner Olli Rehn.

Since Greece was compelled to go cap in hand to the EU and IMF for rescue funds 18 months in the past, its warring political events have come under monumental strain to overcome their variations and agree on a common strategy to resolve the debt crisis. Evangelos Venizelos, the Greek finance minister who additionally holds the post of deputy premier, has likened the nation’s predicament to a matter of life or dying, “of remaining within the eurozone, as a member of the developed world, or going back to the 1960s.”

Final week Venizelos admitted that Athens’ finances had been hanging by a thread with public coffers resulting from run out of cash by mid-December. Bankruptcy would have a large affect across the eurozone.

International figures, together with IMF managing director Christine Lagarde, have pressed upon Athens the necessity for political consensus before lenders half with more loans. “On the IMF’s annual meeting in Washington, the first thing Lagarde emphasised in talks with Venizelos was the need for consensus,” a prime aide to the minister said. “She asked him bluntly, ‘What Greece am I talking to, the one who endorses reforms, who accepts austerity or the one who would not?’ She was very involved by the stance of the political opposition, particularly the [main opposition] conservative party which has repeatedly refused to endorse the [EU-IMF] fiscal adjustment programmes.”

Greece received a €110bn bailout in Could 2010 with the most recent help package writing off half of the nation’s €360bn debt load.

The onerous-won accord had met widespread fury in Greece the place many concern it can imply additional austerity. Last week Samaras argued it would condemn the country, whose economy has contracted by nearly sixteen% since mid 2009, to “a decade of deeper recession”.

Below fireplace from his own Pasok social gathering, Papandreou started the hunt for a “nationwide salvation” authorities after narrowly winning a confidence vote on Friday. “I am not tied to my chair,” he declared after formally launching the push.

However his refusal to articulate his intent clearly till Sunday evening cast a shadow over negotiations. Samaras mentioned Papandreou had to resign “to unblock” the deadlock.

“So long as Mr Papandreou doesn’t resign he is blocking what is foreseen by the constitution. I’m determined to help as long as he resigns and every little thing takes its course,” the main opposition chief declared.

Four candidates are reportedly being thought-about for the publish of prime minister together with Petros Molyviatos, a former conservative international minister, and Loukas Papademou, the erstwhile vice-president of the European Central Bank. Officials stated the brand new premier can be named when eurozone finance ministers meet in Brussels on Monday to debate Greece’s plight.

Papandreou has faced growing calls to step down at house and abroad since shocking markets and world leaders with an sick-timed choice, announced last Monday, to place the October bailout agreement to a preferred vote.

Greek Prime Minister Papandreou in parliament in Athens: After a turbulent day Papandreou announced to try to negotiate with the opposition.

Greece’s premier Giorgios Papandreou has played poker highly and folded in view of the heavy pressure of the international sponsors anyway. On this Thursday he withdrew his controversial plans for a plebiscite over the new EU rescue package. In addition, the shattered socialist announced to want to approach the quarrelling conservative opposition. In evening it finally was as far as: Papandreou signalled its readiness for the resignation: “I do not stick at my chair”, said Greece’s premier in the parliament. Opposition boss Antonius Samaras had demanded the resignation Papandreous before. The party of Samaras left unanimously the parliament hall after that. “I have asked it (Papandreou) to step down first. There can be a provisional government “, said to Samaras in the connection after that in Greece. The possibilities should be aggravated considerably for the formation of a provisional government with that. A new quarrel had stood out here already before. According to information of the state television NET Papandreou strives from its socialist PASOK and at, for a political provisional government the ND which takes the destiny of the country into the hand for approximately half a year. The conservatives support new elections within six weeks. At high-profile ND sources it was said the provisional government shall consist of experts and not of politicians. This government only becomes ” as long as the country introduce, till which signed and sealed is aid package “, an employee said to the ND of the news agency dpa. After that new elections should take place. He was said this could be even already in December.  

Greek Prime Minister Papandreou: public calm, avoid new elections

Papandreou had given up the plans for its controversial referendum before. He said this had been the prerequisite for it that conversations could take place for Nea Dimokratia (ND) with the opposition one for the formation of a provisional government. “We will negotiate now”, announced Papandreou. The only way so that Greece remains in the euro zone is the compliance with the agreements with the partners in the EU. “It is not all about, the done to lose now.” Papandreou deemed the patience worthy in Greece of the people who would have made “tall sacrifices” till now. Papandreou goes and stands on the Friday evening of a confidence coordination in the parliament. The exit is uncertain. If Papandreou should lose the vote, it would become exploratory talks under the direction of president square lot Papoulias come, form a new government with the aim. Greece’s premier had strongly come under pressure on this Thursday: Also numerous ministers and representatives of his socialist ruling party PASOK had sent a reminder to the formation of a government “of the national rescue”. At least two representatives declared according to information from the state television they wanted to refuse Papandreou the confidence. Papandreou then would have got no majority more in the parliament which consists of 300 representatives only still 150 mandates. According to information of the Greek press at least four ministers from Papandreous cabinet demand a change at the head of the government. The ND under opposition leader Antonius Samaras had strictly refused itself to the tight and unpopular austerity policy Papandreous till now; it is necessary without the Greece middle of December to get international billion helps in return further were broke.
