The Republic in the U.S.

One of the topics that the Republic discussed the most in our debate was the Tripartite Soul. It consists of two horses and a charioteer. The horses are appetite and spirit. The charioteer is reason. The Obesity Epidemic is something that America is criticized for. The reason for this is because appetite gets a little out of hand. Things go awry when the charioteer loses control of the horses. Balance is the key. Once there's an imbalance, we see these epidemics and issues in society.
