What is the best natural science: Math, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, or Computer Science?
It is subjective to determine the "best" natural science as each field has its own unique contributions to our understanding of the natural world. Math provides the foundation for understanding and solving problems in all the other sciences. Physics explores the fundamental laws of nature and the behavior of matter and energy. Biology studies living organisms and their interactions with the environment. Chemistry focuses on the composition, structure, and properties of matter. Computer Science deals with the theory and practice of computation and information. Each of these sciences is valuable in its own right and contributes to our understanding of the world around us.

Which subject should be removed: Chemistry, Biology, Physics, or Computer Science?
It is not advisable to remove any of these subjects as they all play a crucial role in providing a well-rounded education. Each subject offers unique perspectives and skills that are valuable for students' academic and professional development. Instead of removing a subject, it would be more beneficial to ensure that all students have access to a diverse range of subjects and resources to support their learning in each area.

Which form of democracy is better: indirect democracy or direct democracy?
Both indirect democracy and direct democracy have their own advantages and disadvantages. Indirect democracy allows for the election of representatives who can make informed decisions on behalf of the people, while direct democracy allows for more direct participation and decision-making by the citizens. The effectiveness of each form of democracy depends on the specific context and needs of a society. In some cases, indirect democracy may be more efficient and practical, while in others, direct democracy may be more inclusive and empowering. Ultimately, the best form of democracy is one that effectively represents the will of the people and promotes good governance.

Physics or Chemistry or Biology?
It ultimately depends on personal interests and career goals. Physics deals with the study of matter, energy, and the fundamental forces of the universe. Chemistry focuses on the composition, structure, properties, and changes of matter. Biology is the study of living organisms and their interactions with each other and their environment. Each field offers unique perspectives and opportunities for exploration and discovery.

Aristotle : Democracy and Political Science
Today, democracy is seen as the best or even the only legitimate form of government—hardly in need of defense.Delba Winthrop punctures this complacency and takes up the challenge of justifying democracy through Aristotle’s political science.In Aristotle’s time and in ours, democrats want inclusiveness; they want above all to include everyone a part of a whole.But what makes a whole? This is a question for both politics and philosophy, and Winthrop shows that Aristotle pursues the answer in the Politics.She uncovers in his political science the insights philosophy brings to politics and, especially, the insights politics brings to philosophy.Through her appreciation of this dual purpose and skilled execution of her argument, Winthrop’s discoveries are profound.Central to politics, she maintains, is the quality of assertiveness—the kind of speech that demands to be heard.Aristotle, she shows for the first time, carries assertive speech into philosophy, when human reason claims its due as a contribution to the universe. Political science gets the high role of teacher to ordinary folk in democracy and to the few who want to understand what sustains it. This posthumous publication is more than an honor to Delba Winthrop’s memory.It is a gift to partisans of democracy, advocates of justice, and students of Aristotle.

Why is democracy in Germany a representative democracy?
Democracy in Germany is a representative democracy because the citizens elect representatives to make decisions on their behalf. These representatives are chosen through free and fair elections, where the people have the opportunity to vote for their preferred candidates. The elected representatives then represent the interests and views of the citizens in the decision-making process, ensuring that the government is accountable to the people. This system allows for the efficient functioning of the government while also ensuring that the voices of the citizens are heard and considered.

Which do you prefer: direct democracy or indirect democracy?
I don't have personal preferences, but I can provide information on both forms of democracy. Direct democracy allows citizens to directly participate in decision-making through initiatives and referendums, while indirect democracy involves electing representatives to make decisions on behalf of the people. Each form has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the preference for one over the other often depends on the specific context and the values of the individuals involved.

Is Athenian democracy a model for our modern democracy?
Athenian democracy, while groundbreaking in its time, had limitations that make it difficult to directly compare to modern democracy. For example, only male citizens were allowed to participate in Athenian democracy, excluding women, slaves, and foreigners. Additionally, decisions were made through direct participation rather than representative democracy, which is more common in modern systems. While Athenian democracy can serve as an inspiration for principles such as citizen participation and equality, it is not a direct model for our modern democracy due to these significant differences.

What does a democracy need to be a democracy?
A democracy needs several key components to function as a democracy. These include free and fair elections, where citizens have the right to vote and choose their representatives. Additionally, there must be a system of checks and balances in place to prevent any one branch of government from becoming too powerful. Freedom of speech, press, and assembly are also essential to allow for open debate and the expression of diverse viewpoints. Finally, the rule of law must be upheld, ensuring that all individuals, including government officials, are subject to the same laws and regulations.
