50 POINTS!!! In this unit, you learned that the United States has had a two-party political system for much of its history. Although candidates from other parties sometimes win elections at the local level, most elections for state office and the presidency have been dominated in the modern era by candidates from either the Democratic Party or the Republican Party. Do you think this system is fair, or would the nation benefit from a political system in which candidates from other parties had better chances at winning? Do you think the United States would be better off if more political parties were represented at higher levels of government, such as in the House and the Senate? Explain your thinking.

HOME IN Rome

DIRECTIONS: Pretend you are an ancient Roman. Which aspect(s) of Roman life would you MOST like to change and why?

Although the majority of Romans were poor farm laborers, Roman culture centered in cities. Wealthy people had large homes with many rooms surrounding an open courtyard, but most city-dwellers lived in multi-family housing with shops in front or on a lower level. As in most cities, people worked in many different jobs and had varying levels of income and lifestyle. For the most part Roman meals were simple, prepared by the mother of the house or a slave under her direction. Lower classes ate mostly bread, vegetables, fruits, cheese, and olives, and drank wine or water. Upper classes had a more varied diet, frequently including fresh meats and honey. Everyone either ate with their fingers or used a spoon. Most men went to work in the morning and sometime in the afternoon went to the baths. The baths were gathering places where people met and talked, played games, and of course bathed. Water was heated by a large fire under huge water tanks and pipes which ran beneath the baths. Women mainly worked at home or oversaw slaves who did the household work for them. Mothers taught their daughters to spin, weave, sew, and cook. A few girls also went to school, but mostly the boys were educated and then only if their families could afford to send them to school, which was not free. From around age. six or seven, students studied reading, writing, and counting. Later, at around the age of twelve, boys would either learn a trade or go to "grammar" schools where they went on to study Latiri, Greek, grammar, and literature. A few went beyond that to study public speaking to become orators. Slaves, one form of property, were common in the Roman Empire; the rich had many. In fact the number of slaves a person owned was a status symbol in Roman society. In addition to the usual labor, slaves worked in all manner of jobs: they served as hairdressers, footmen, messengers, accountants, tutors, secretaries, carpenters, plumbers, librarians, and goldsmiths. Some were even doctors, architects, and business managers. Although it was possible for slaves to buy or earn their freedom, few did.

Memories of a Memory

Have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things.

First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall."

Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story.

Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story.

With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture.

Part A and Part B below contain one fill-in-the-blank to be used for all three question responses. Your complete response must be in the format A, B, C including the letter choice, commas, and a space after the commas.
