Comparison Between Greece And Greece

together can be a bad action taken by the government. The reason I say this is because, in economic terms, reduction in government spending and increasing tax collection at the same time is like hitting someone with two hammers together. This will only lead to a shift to the left of aggregate demand and is it impossible for the people to pay taxes when the living standards is low. (Figure 2)

Persia and Greece were beautiful and prosperous empires and where the most influential of their time. In this essay I will talk about the two main empires’ political structures and their economy and I will also state similarities and differences between the two empires. The two empires’ political structures might have varied greatly but their economies were very similar. Even though they had differences and had major battles they were still the ideal empires of their time.

The Persian and Athenian Empire had a lot of differences than similarities. There were different people who ran the Empires and they were ran very differently. Trade routes were different but some trade goods were similar to others. The Persian had one person running the empire while the Athenian Empire had many city states instead of one person ruling the whole Empire. Each Empire believed in different many gods, some believed in two gods, and some people in one god. A lot of them believed in different gods and The Athenian Empire believed in the same god. Thier religious are different than others.

Athens and Sparta started off as allies standing side by side when they took on the Greco-Persian Wars lasting between 499 B.C. and 449 B.C.. They remained superior among the city-states for over a half

In the period known as classical Greece in the years 800-323 BCE, Greece comprised of small city states (poleis) which were considered and operated as independent small countries. Amongst those city states Athens and Sparta were two of the most powerful and considered in Greek history as the most influential states to western civilisation. These two city states shared some common characteristics whilst in some instances they were very different from each other. Sparta and Athens had differences and similarities in the way they governed their city states, in how they established their military forces, how they treated women, their marriage customs and social gatherings

The Persian Wars (499-479 BC) put the Greeks in the difficult position of having to defend their country against a vast empire with an army that greatly outnumbered

Persia and Greek city-states were entirely different in certain areas of their happenings. Both of these city-states were made up of  Indo-European people whose legacy came directly from the first civilizations. Even though they were similar in their population makeup they were very different when it came to the everyday happenings in the cities. Persia was a much more sophisticated city than that of Greece. Persia had many luxuries like a standard coinage, standard taxes, canal linking the Nile and Red Sea,

Although they bear some superficial similarities, the differences between Greeks and Persians during the years 1000-30 B.C.E are clear. The thought that the Greek empires are better than the Persian empires is one that I believe in.

Around the fifth century B.C.E, the Persians created a large and powerful empire influenced by other empires. To maintain their government, they distributed power to the people, specifically, their sons. According to Document 1, the Persians provided power to the men who had the most sons because they believed that number was strength. The sons were trained to speak the truth, and they held great power in the empire. Greece, specifically Athens, also distributed power to its people. In Document 2, Pericles, the Greek political leader and general of Athens and the Delian League, describes how the laws in Athens provided an equal chance for all to be included in public service as a reward of merit. This is a bit similar to the Persian Empire because both distributed power to their citizens. On the other hand, Pericles point of view may not be trustworthy because outside evidence shows that only free males in Athens were allowed to participate in public service, and Pericles made it seem as though all were allowed to participate, including women and non-Greek people. Additionally, the Persian Empire and the Roman Empire interacted with other empires and supported different cultures. For instance, Document 1 says how the Persians adopted foreign customs and how they changed certain customs to make it their own. In the Roman Empire, the cities were trade centers; people from all over the continent

Another similarity that Greece and Persia had was the influence that they had on modern day politics. Politics is different in every civilization, there are monarchies, democracies and even anarchies in some indigenous tribes.Greece was a democracy which allowed important men to vote on community issues. This being one of the first democratic locations in written history, a lot of America’s government is based on. America has a system like that of Greece, although, unlike ancient Greece, America has let women vote since the 1920’s and non-land owning men could vote. When people are given the ability to be autonomous and decide the activities that occur in their community, only positive effects will be an outcome, but when others come to a disagreement

Persia and Rome were epicenters for trade, military power, and agricultural prowess. The social and economic structure of Persia and Rome, during their rise and falls, placed a heavy emphasis on warrior status, the agricultural community, religion, and established trade routes. Both societies were very unique in how they did business with their people and other empires. During Rome’s rise their social structure was based on military merit and/or the wealth of their farm land. During Persia’s rise their social structure was based largely upon military status and their role in religious affairs. If one was a priest in the Persian empire then they were higher than a soldier. However, the social and economic structures of both empires were very different during the rise and fall.

In a relatively resource-poor region, a society rose from the access of foreign sources of raw materials and markets abroad. This society came to be known as one of the largest nations in Eurasia. The rise and fall of this great nation has to do with war-fare and the conflict between city-states. Their division led to the widespread of language and culture. This is the great story of Ancient Greece and how individualism changed the view Greece had on certain issues. (Bulliet 99) From 1000 B.C.E to 30 B.C.E, Ancient Greece’s view on individualism changed the political system Greece had, over time changed the way individuals thought and made important Intellectual changes, and gradually changed the Economic system such as bartering.

Both Greece and Persia had ups and downs like all ancient and even modern civilizations. Politically they had multiple similarities and differences within each other. Persia had a no slavery law unlike Greece, who made slaves do all the work to create ‘a perfect life’. Persia also had religious freedom so you weren’t forced to worship a certain god or king, even if you were captured in Persia you could worship your own god as long as you said the pledge and paid small taxes. Greece had taxes as well, but you had to worship the Greek gods on the upside Greece was led by democracy. These two very different civilizations had a similar social structure with a ruler/king on top and the field workers on the bottom. (Slaves for Greece and peasants

The civilizations that I decided to elaborate on are Greece, Rome, and Persian. The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast the similarities and differences of these civilizations. These civilizations will be analyzed in the area of their cultural, social, political, economic, diplomatic and military collating. Greece, Rome, and Persian are very distinctive and fascinating civilization. From the information I have learned through the semester will help me sharply juxtapose the cultures.

I personally think that the most common Greek food is Gyro which is made with meat cooked on a vertical rotating rotisserie then served with cold and refreshing tzatziki sauce. To break down Grexit into a simpler explanation, let’s imagine the kebab cooked on a vertical rotating rotisserie as Greek economy. It must never stop turning or the kebab will be burnt. People constantly shave off the part that they need from it. So, how can Greek switch to a new currency without losing economical momentum? To exit from European zone and start its new currency which will be very likely to be the return of the Drachma, Greek probably will need to close banks. Then, print out new currency to supply to its nation. For the economy of the size of Greece, it might take months to print enough currency for public circulation. Domestic wages and prices will have to change into the new currency. Greek government might need to use capital control to ban people from moving their money while the process of switching currency takes place. It will initially set its new Drachma equal to Euro and allow currency to trade freely. It is expected to see a sharp fall in its new currency against the Euro. Greek people will feel like they have been further squeezed by this immense burden. On the other hand, Greek products will be relatively cheaper and exports are expected to increase. Consequently, seeing Greece’s exit from the Eurozone, will it induce other participating countries in the European
