How was a polis organized in ancient greece? ( )

Ancient Greece land was made up of many mountains and valleys that often divided Greek societies. These city-states were known as a “polis”. The “polis” often were styled as “citadels” which offered protection to citizens during times of war. With many coming to the area many of these cities flourished becoming important centers.

These polis often functioned independently and had different government styles such as oligarchy (small ruling groups), monarchy (one king or ruler) , and democracy (elections by the citizens for power).

elizabeth loftus conducted a study to observe the reliability of eyewitnesses during the 1970s. their baseline was to define how accurate are the recollections of eyewitnesses.

her studies do not support the use of eyewitness. loftus mentions in her work that we are not required to recall some experiences, meaning that rarely an individual eyewitness testimony is trustworthy. a good example is presented in her work, where all individuals watched a video and were than asked "about how fast were the cars going when they hit/smash? ". the testimonies changed based on the word she used to make the question (hit or smash), proving the fragility.
