Quote:
"If you never saw a book or a newspaper or a magazine (and of course there was no TV), you would't know much. You'd have to believe whatever you were told--by the lord of the manor or the king or the priests. It would be hard to think for yourself. The Englishman, Thomas Carlyle (he was a historian), said that Gutenberg's press created "a whole new democratic world."
Question:
How do books give power to people?
Origin of the word democracy:
late 16th century: from French démocratie, via late Latin from Greek dēmokratia, from dēmos ‘the people’ + -kratia ‘power, rule.’
