Greek’s Contribution To Modern Day Society
Greek’s contribution to the development of civilization in the west
Architectural style is a big thing that Greece gave to us but no one ever notices. The Parthenon, the Greek house of the gods, was constructed mainly of pillars supporting a triangular roof. The pillars are grooved vertically and fan out at the top to form a design of some sort. Notice this on any houses? How about a big white one in Washington D. C? The Greeks also carved into marble and other rocks as designs for the top of the temple, we replicate that with intricate masonry on our churches. “The Discus Thrower” (DBQ8) is one of the first stone masterpieces of its time, and stonework carried over to later civilization. Is stone carving was never thought of, we wouldn’t have works, like “The Thinker” and “David.”
So, do we really want to get rid of those theorems after all? We would have to throw out all the other Greek contributions. If we did then there goes society as we know it, Thank you Euclid for your complex geometric thinking, without is we would be still trying to figure volume by guessing with sand. Thank you Hippocrates for your medical treatments. Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, thank you for you out of the box thinking, we sure did need it. And thank you to the people of Greece, for the Olympics to bring us together. And for your architectural, ideas, and for you art, we would be very plain without them. Greece played a major role in the creation of civilization of the west.

I thought this was really great, it helped a lot!
I take geometry and I wondered why we had to learn all those pointless theorums and postulates and I wished the person who discovered them didn’t! But now I realize that they’re important and I understand that Euclid was a very smart man, because everybody would be aruguing over stuff like that. I’m glad i read this. Thank you.

this was alright but you should really expand on the agriculture and actual inventions and contributions that the greeks made. thanks.

Yeah, it was okay
Personally, however i think that it neede to expand more in greek agriculture. Like for example, the greek worl believed in Zeus and many other greek gods that really impacted on our modern world today.
However, ood try- it was a interesting topic.
Oh and in cas you were wondering who i was, i am a professer from Griffith university. I am using this article as a example of what should be in the essay and what shouldnt be so they can compare it to their essays/articles to others.
Oh, and i am glad you mentioned aristotle- I am a great fan of him. He is a philisophical genius.
