Using logic Aristotle attempted to make sense of motion.  He believed that there were two types of motion: violent and natural.  Though those are not the terms used today, his ideas are still intact with the general idea of motion.  Violent motion is when an object is put into motion through an unnatural force while natural motion is an object at rest.  In the 21st century there are many forces that come into play when discussing the different types of motion, however Aristotle's theories still contributed to this particular field of science.

Aristotle's beliefs on the authority of women are not the same as the 21st centuries idea of the average woman.  Aristotle wrote in his book "Politics" that women "lack authority" compared to men.  He believed that men should run the household as they are more of an authority figure than women.  He wrote that men should consider women as their equal, however they should rule over them in the household much like in politics because of their lack of authority. This view of being the man of the household is still relevant even today, but especially after his time.

Aristotle did not just influence how we participate in politics, but the written law as well.  He or one of his students compiled and wrote "The Constitution of the Athenians" which laid out the groundwork for the government as a whole.  This obviously led the Americans to take from this constitution in order to create their own.

Aristotle called for citizen participation in Athens democratic government, however he was particular about who he wanted to participate.  To Aristotle, landowning males with proper education were fit to participate in government.  Women and slaves were not fit to participate, as well as young men.  In fact only 15% of the Athenian population was allowed to participate in politics. This was actually similar to early American voting, as slaves and women were not allowed to vote while men were.

Aristotle heavily advocated for citizen participation in politics.  He though it was important for the average person to have a say in how their country and town were run.  His belief even influenced how our government was ran, as both Athens and the United States are democracies and hold elections where citizens vote on certain leaders or topics.
