Ancient Greece ER: Section 3 | ANCIENT GREECE AND ROME RESEARCH PROJECT |
|
The Ancient Greeks and Romans were very important cultures that provided a foundation for the culture we have today. From art to government, our history has derived from some aspect of these civilizations. While we study Ancient Greece first, we must take the time to appreciate all that they have contributed. It is also worth noting that although Greece and Rome do receive much of the credit for many achievements, we understand that all cultures have had an influence on how we have developed today. Greece was a civilization that focused on the rights of people and the development of the mind. Art, architecture and religion were intricate parts of the civilization. Through our studies we hope to grasp a better understanding of the Ancient Greece's impact on our lives. |
