REVEW AND WRITE
1: In Sparta, community service and sacrifice came first. Family life was considered less important. Do you believe a society should expect someone to surrender his or her familylife in service to the government?

I think that the kid should go at the age of 15 because he could get to know moreof his or her family and he can remember it better and he or she could help more at the age of 15. And a little kid of 7 years in what can he or she help more than a 15 year old kid. Well I also thinkthat if the kid didn’t wanted to serve to the government he or she shouldn’t do it because I think the Spartans needed more liberty because that is really important for your life.

I don’t like this idea because first a new born baby shouldn’t be outside of the house at night that is so bad In many ways to do that with a baby because he can’t defend itself, I thinkthis is very unfair. Some way, I like the idea that when the kids were 7 years old they go training at the military and not studding, but I also think that the 7 year old kid is not ready to be taken tomilitary service, I think the kids should be taken at the age of 15 because they will be stronger and a 7 year old kid is not so strong and needs to be with his or her family. Also the training was...
