1. Short Story - Roxi and the Wave
This will be accomplished through a fixed lottery. Because of the lottery and the myth of the land, the people will agree and continue to live in this fashion and the city will get stronger. Even though Socrates puts this city together well, there are still three waves that the city must get passed. The first wave is common tasks for both men and women, or equality of the sexes. This wave goes against the common thought of Socrates" time because the majority of people felt men should do more than women should. Even Socrates acknowledges that women are weaker than men are, but in this city it is not the strength of the people that count. This city needs intelligent and moral people. If a woman has the qualities to be a guardian she must then be educated the same as the men in the city. Socrates proves this through the following quote "So one woman may have a guardian nature and another not Therefore, men and women are by nature the same with respect to guarding the city Then women of this sort must be chosen along with men of the same sort to live with them and share their guardianship it isn't against nature to assign an education in music, poetry, and physical training to the wives of the guardians It's rather the way things are at present that seems to be against nature." This equality allows for the most intelligent, and moral people to be in the higher classes in this city, and for these people to breed strong offspring in this sense through the fixed lottery. It is to the benefit of the state to allow this, and to its disadvantage to hold women inferior to men. The second wave, although one of the hardest to embrace, is probably one of the most important for Socrates" city to have success. The second wave is women and children are to be held in common. This means that there cannot be marriage and what we see as family. Instead there will be mating of the best men and women so that the city can produce the best possible offspring.
Sound Waves Sound is everywhere. ... There are three parts to the ear: the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. All three of these "stations" work together in a process that translates wave frequencies into something that our brain can recognize. First, a sound wave enters our outer ear where it hits the eardrum, which then vibrates and in turn vibrates the three tiny bones of the middle ear called the hammer, anvil, and stirrup. These three bones then vibrate the fluid of the inner ear, which passes over the cochlea. ...
