Cultural Differences Between Greece And Australia

Greece is one of the oldest civilizations in the world, with rituals and ceremonies dating back to ancient times. The same wedding dances still occur at modern day Greek weddings that started centuries ago. Greece is a non-unilineal culture, which means that they trace their ancestry through both their mother and father. Greece is a peninsula located in the Mediterranean Sea, just south of Albania, Macedonia, and Bulgaria. Greece is a nation of islands with 227 inhabited, and 6,000 total temperate islands (“Visit Greece/Islands”). Greece’s population has increased from 1960 to 2012, but has recently been declining in recent years. The majority of the Greek population practices Eastern Orthodox Christianity, or Greek Orthodox so the majority of modern day weddings take place in an Orthodox Church.

(Task 1) Introduction: The study which helps people to understand a society’s or a nation’s values, attitudes is called Cultural Studies. Culture depends on many factors. Among them Work, Food & Drinks and Transport have much importance in culture. These components make difference between two nations or countries.

In the Greek polis, the dead can be either cremated or buried. People also put coins on the deceased’s eyes so when traveling to the house of the dead, there is an offering with the body. In the Islamic culture, people bury the dead for people believe that the body is going to be needed later in life for when resurrection is possible. The Islamic people get buried in public cemeteries so family members can go visit and bring them offerings like food for example. The casket shown above is a fusion between Greek and Islamic culture since it holds the buried body and it has the coins placed in the side of the casket. There is also geometric patterns on it, which is shown in both Greek and Islamic culture, and is explained more in the objects of

Auburn is a suburb in western Sydney in the state of New South Wales Australia which had major changes that occurred over the years, the three major changes are transport population and culture.

By the 600s and 500s BC, Greece had entered into its Archaic age, with advances in trade, warfare, interstate interactions, and religious institutions converging to define a momentous era of this culture’s long history. Given the extent to which Greece, during these centuries, congealed into the ancient society it is best remembered as today, it is necessary to ask the elusive question of what makes one Greek? By this era, what made one Greek entailed a paradoxical strong value for community coupled with a strong value for competitive individualism, a combination that is found in religion, sports, writing, architecture, and other well-known hallmarks of Greek culture.

Afghanistan doesn’t have that many ancient civilizations because of its history. But there still are a few ruins in Afghanistan that have been identified as an ancient civilization. One ancient civilization is the Mes Aynak city. This city is 5000 years old! The Mes Aynak city is located at the heart of the Silk Roads, which made it one of the most important cities in the region.

Long considered an ideal society by its neighbours, the ability of Greek Civilization to export its culture across the known world was great. Accompanying the more pragmatic exports of technology, literature and philosophy were the customs relating to popular culture craved by foreign citizens resulting in the spread of Greek fashion, cuisine, arts and sports across the Mediterranean world. Roman society was a particular market for Greek popular literature, dramas, poetry, music and other art forms. The influence of Greek sculpturing is visible on later Roman sculptures and masterpieces, who inherit both style and technique from the Hellenistic world. The Greek sensibility relating to dress and fashion had an impact on popular culture in Rome, whose people borrowed much in relation to their tastes in fashion from the Greek World. In large part this was due to the increasing number of skilled artisans, hairdressers, chefs and decorators (along with the plethora of other technicians and merchants) immigrating to the Roman heartland from the Hellenistic world as slaves or in search of employment. Popular plays and dramatic masterpieces originating in the Greek world soon found their way to popularity in Rome, often carrying their hidden satirical or moral messages to the Eternal City. Particular evidence for this Hellenistic influence on Roman society can be seen in Roman cuisine.

The Archaic has not been well-researched in comparison to the Palaeoindian and Woodland periods. Ellis et al. (2009) state that the smaller size of Archaic sites, their poorer preservation, and the lack of an exotic cachet as an identifier could be valid reasons as to why Archaic sites are not given as much attention (p. 790). Especially for the Northeast Archaic, a bias has perhaps been put on focusing on larger and more elaborate sites that can be interpreted at face value. Due to this, a divide of interpretation can be seen between the Northeast and Southeast Archaic. While the Northeast has been subject to more culture-historic and processualist interpretations, the Southeast has experienced more of a distancing form those approaches and

The cultural differences in our society greatly affect our way of living on a daily basis. Because of this it is important to learn the different societies and cultures so we understand and respect them. The purpose of this essay is to compare two countries and explain their differences or similarities. I have chosen to compare Australia and Jamaica. The two dimensions I have chosen to discuss are power distance and individualism/collectivism.

Have you ever wondered what the similarities were between two cultures well here I am going to tell you. Despite the fact that the Egyptians and Greeks venerate distinctive gods and goddesses the repeating symbolic associations with love, desire, and fertility propose a comparable accentuation on consummating one's self through the span of various lifetimes.

Greece is one of the countries within Europe with an estimated population of eleven million people (Tomalin & Stempleski, 2013). The culture of Greece is unique and vibrant in it is own ways because their heritage reflects their national identity so well. Greece culture manifests across social, political as well as economic spheres of its society. It is important to examine specific elements such as values, beliefs, and the perception that are enrooted in Greek society. The study sets to bring out important tenets that create awareness on the culture of the Greece.

Australia is both the smallest and oldest continent in the world, and it is the only country that is also a continent. [1] It is an island located between the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific, just south of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. At 2,941,299 square miles, Australia is the sixth-largest country in the world and only about 150,000 square miles (about the size of Montana) smaller than the continental United States. Its interior land is a flat and sparsely populated desert, but as you move outward the climate changes to grassland, subtropical, tropical, and even temperate in the southeastern region. [1] While more than 70% of Australia is arid, the rest includes a variety of rich environments including flood plains,

I am researching the country where democracy originated from, which is Greece. Greece doesn't have that many natural resources. Bauxite, from which aluminum is created from, is a mineral found in Greece that is the most vital. There are layers of asbestos, nickel, magnesite, and marble also found in Greece. Asbestos was once known as a miracle mineral to the Greeks, due to its unique feature of not burning, but it’s now seen as a deadly mineral. This is because it can cause deadly diseases like Mesothelioma and Asbestosis. Greek doesn't have large quantities of coal, and its brown coal (also known as Lignite) is "of poor quality." Important minerals like chromium, copper, ore, uranium, and magnesium are small, and Greece's petroleum

In the case of Greece, the failure to establish a structural balance between the rule of law and democracy before 1974 affected the functioning of the state by decreasing the potential to implement laws effectively thereby curbing the desire to reform. In the 1980s, the development of a pervasive political system was triggered by the rising principle of the rule of law and democracy. The system, however, proved susceptible to the abuses of nepotism, cronyism, and the improper use of executive authority. The ills of Greece’s domestic political system undermined the quality of the relationship between Greece and the European Community. This hampered the impact of the Community on Greek policies and unremittingly raised skepticism about Greece’s virtues. Even today, the (Union’s) political system affects the Greek government’s ability to embark on reforms and leaves the Greek political system vulnerable (Visvizi, 2013).
