An article from American Thinker titled "How Democracies Become Tyrannies" not only puts forward an insightful view of the times through the lens of Book VIII of Plato's Republic, but also presents an excellent example of the application of Classical learning in the modern world.
We read ancient works that have proven their worth by standing the test of time so that we may better understand and live in our own times.
This article is must-reading, especially for our rhetoric students.
