Ostrakism is an exile, a democratic procedure in ancient Greece. Any resident of Athens could write on a clay shard (a shard in Greek was called ostrakon), the cheapest and most accessible material of that time, the name of an objectionable politician who threatened the democracy of the state. If more than six thousand shards (votes) with the name of one person were recruited, then this person was forced to leave Athens for 10 years.
One of the components of a person's success in our time is receiving modern high-quality education, mastering the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary for life in society. A person today needs to study almost all his life, mastering everything new and new, acquiring the necessary professional qualities.
