Talk:Controversia

small tweaks to prevent ambiguity and missing important information

it could be more useful to qualify that the rhetorical mindset was exclusively and crucially the elite's. the reason this is important to define clearly here is that it remains ambiguous to readers whether or not all greek citizens or Roman citizens were educated like this. my understanding of the greek context in the pre Roman era pales in comparison to the Roman periods so this is only applicable to the Roman context.

The article's discussion of education and culture must be situated in the context of preparing young boys and men for their future roles as public leaders embodying virtue and behaviours exclusively for service in positions of power and authority. otherwise it risks ambiguity that leaves the reader with incomplete and even potentially inaccurate information.

I think the article is written to a high standard with a clear command of the subject and so this will be minor edits which I'll write out here for feedback before I change the page in any way. the page for Roman education is the most appropriate place for detailed information about elite culture so the article needs just some small edits for clarity across pages.
