This was a project I did on Sparta. We had to choose between Sparta and Athens, I choose to do Sparta because of their fighting spirt and I was very interested in their life style and their philosophy. Something I didn't know about Sparta is they had 100,000 thousand slaves! Which was very wrong of them to do, but you know that was life back in the day. They had three different caste systems. The kids trained to fight at a very young age. At the time Spartans were the most feared warriors.This was a project I worked on in Fundamental American Democracy. I worked on it with some classmates we had to write a policy on the high cost of living here in the valley. we came up with solutions to the problem this valley faced. we presented this to local government officials at Glenwood Springs high School. we came up with ideas like having certain housing for teachers in the valley who come to work here but were forced to have roommates due to how expensive it is to live here.

This is what our policy came out to be and what we finalized. We suggested many different policy's and ideas on how we can make living here more affordable, and ideas for local workers and teachers who have a really hard time living here.
