Axis Age/Golden Age in Greece Pericles 430
Q: The period of your rule has been called the golden age of Greece, would you agree with this?
A: Greece is a great country and has had many great times. I don’t know if this is the greatest but it is definitely one of the best periods in our history.
Q: What was Greece like in this period that was different from other periods?
A: Athens in particular is thriving. Art, learning, and culture are very important. We have incredible thinkers such as Socrates. Socrates is always questioning the most inner workings of humanity and the universe. He has developed a way of teaching that I believe will be used far into the future because of its effectiveness. This method consists of asking questions to teach others. Our economy is booming. When the economy is great, our people can appreciate the arts and express themselves which only makes our society better.
Q: It has been said that you have different political views from many leaders around you, is this true?
A: Yes, I am a firm believer of democracy. All the people are being ruled so why shouldn’t all people get a choice in how they are ruled? I do not like oligarchy. I prefer a true democracy where everyone votes on everything.
