The reasons I choose democracy for the contribution was because It gave people a voice. It was a chance to share how they feel about the situation. Pericles did a speech that was "men didn't die in vain" meaning they died with skill and they died with a purpose. It also started equality for all in law. When you served on jury duty you would get a stipend meaning you got paid money. Democracy is still used today worldwide. Those are the reasons why I choose democracy as the contribution that helped us today.]]> 2017-11-29 12:22:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/211349960 https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/211350025 Our lives are constantly surrounded by math and science, whether or not you are a mathematician or a scientist. Greece was a Classical Civilization, meaning it was a highly organized civilization that contributed many things to modern day life. One of the many contributions of Greece is science and math, perhaps the greatest achievement of the Greeks. No matter how much people complain about the annoyance of science and math; it is a fact of life that our very essence as human being to be surrounded by science and math. Student study these subject in their academic career, and many adults choose to pursue a career in these subjects. Math, geometry specifically, is found in art and architecture, and people can find themselves do math almost everyday of their lives. Our very existence is the essence of science, we are constantly reminded of biology and chemistry that is always around us. Pythagoras, an early mathematician from Ancient Greece, created a formula that high school geometry students still use to this day, the pythagorean theorem. Hippokrates is one doctor from Ancient Greece who is attributed to being the "father of modern medicine," and the one to create the Hippocratic Oath; an oath that doctors take saying they will always help their patients, and never intentionally harm a patient. These just two of Greece's many influential scientist and mathematicians. All of these are just a handful of reasons on why science and math is one, if not the greatest contribution of the Greeks.]]> 2017-11-29 12:22:50 UTC https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/211350025 brianna_riordan https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/211350103 The Greek contribution that I think is most important is Democracy. I chose Democracy because in Democracy you are told to go to a jury once in your life or not at all. The greatest contribution to how we live today is Pericles because he gave a great speech to his people stating to work, fight and live for your family at the right moment in time. Also Pericles is like a president to his people because he cares about his people and democracy.This all could relate to how we live today by looking back at how people in Athens lived with Pericles and how people new how to resolve things without fighting they resolved it in a place. An Agora which is a place in Athens where everyone met to discuss issues and today we live with the president discussing things with people like discussing issues like they did in Athens instead of fighting. One thing that doesn't relate to they way we live now is an Ostracism because when people in Athens spoke against democracy they would get kicked out of Athens. In todays society when we speaks about democracy or the president nobody kicks that person out of that place we now have the right to say whatever we want to say about the president or country. That is why I think Democracy is the most important contribution.]]> 2017-11-29 12:23:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/211350103 https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/211350106 Ancient Greece has contributed many important things to this world, but I believe democracy was the most important thing the Greek people contributed. First, a large factor for why democracy is the most important, is that we still use it today. Democracy was a good enough idea, that we use something from about 2,500 years ago. Another factor is what Pericles said in his speech. He had told his people that the men who fought and died had not died in vain. He told his people that they died for democracy. This was very important back then and still is now. Presidents of the United States still use his words in their speeches. They tell us that the men who have fought and died, have died for democracy. Overall, democracy is the most important contribution of Ancient Greece, for these many important reasons]]> 2017-11-29 12:23:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/211350106 cayla_gona https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/211350139 There is this ancient Greek achievement that contributed the most to the world and that is democracy. The things that democracy created was a direct democracy, jury, stipend, and ostracism. There was also equality before the law was even created. In Greek they also had this place called Agora which was a meeting place to discuss your issues that you have, because people had the right to do that because they had democracy. They also had a jury, which was really good because it decided what  that persons fate would be if they have done some thing wrong or any thing bad that they shouldn't be doing.There was also this guy named Perikles and he was one of the most important people in Athens because he was elected 15 time to the pst of strategos meaning general, he had improved the system of democracy in the city which was very good for the people and they were pleased. He was also talking about how good democracy was. This is what I thought was the achievement that contributed the most in the world.]]> 2017-11-29 12:23:18 UTC https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/211350139 https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/211350227               The Ancient Greeks contributed much to the world we live in today. The one that I feel like is the most important contribution is science and math. I believe this because without science and math our progress in technological advancements would be minimal. Having things like cars, complex buildings, and certain medicine would be nearly impossible to achieve without science and math. One of the famous Greek participants in the Hall of Fame is Pythagoras. Pythagoras contributed to our world today by discovering the formula for calculating the sides of a triangle. This may seem simple but small discoveries like this contributed to larger and more astonishing mathematical and scientific discoveries.

The Greek Contribution that i felt was the most important, and was the greatest contribution to how we live today is, Democracy. I chose Democracy because, Democracy means, "a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives." Democracy controls how and what we do on a day to day basis, because. The citizens get to vote for what the want, and have some what of a say on something. So if someone want to make a building for a town, the citizens of the town can vote if they want it or not. Also, it is important today, because most country's and regions use democracy to base their lives. Also, one greek gall of famer that contributed to democracy was "Perikles was one of the most important people in Athens during the 5th century. He was elected 15 times to the post of strategos (general). He improved the system of democracy in the city. This made it easier for artists and philosophers to work in freedom." In conclusion, i chose democracy, because democracy controls what and how we do thing everyday and, it affects regions around the world considerably.]]> 2017-11-29 12:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/211350374 mateo_medici https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/211350406 The most important contribution from Greece is Democracy. Democracy is the form of government that the United states has been using since 1776. Without Democracy the United States currently could have been completely different and could have turned for the worse back in the 1700's. Without Democracy, we wouldn't have the luxuries of participation in government unlike other forms of government. In conclusion, democracy is the most important contribution from Greece.

Without math our whole economy system would be different because money takes  a huge part such as taxes,  purchasing something etc. Science was also a huge contribute because without science doctors would have lack of information and we wouldn't be able to discover any new disease and help find  a cure. Also if Greece didn't have this contributed then  Alot of schools wouldn't have math and science as a subject.]]> 2017-11-29 12:24:35 UTC https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/211350446 madeline_tran https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/211350456          Of all of the Ancient Greek contributions democracy is what affects us most today because it is everywhere in our government. Many countries, like the United States, have some kind of democracy in their government. Perikles improved the democracy in Athens which lead it to our society today. Democracy changes many things about our live, we can vote and we have equality before the law. Democracy contributes most to our society because it is everywhere in our government and lives.]]> 2017-11-29 12:24:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/211350456 devon_rooney https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/211350509 In my opinion the best ancient Greek achievement was math and science. The first reason why is the people who investigated it for instance Euclid he was the first person to try geometry. Then later he got all of his discoveries and theories into a piece of literature called Elements. Elements believe it or not was the first math book ever printed and it is still used in schools to this day. This next hall of famer is  Pythagoras he made very important discoveries in math. He gave the formula that is used to calculate triangle sides. In conclusion to this if it was not for theses people we would not be able to study things like geometry, biology, and my favorite science of all phyisics. ]]> 2017-11-29 12:24:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/211350509 https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/211353889 The Greek Contribution that is most important is Art and Architecture because its affected throughout society. Art reflect the society that creates them. Through their temples, sculpture, and pottery, the Greeks incorporated a fundamental principle of their culture. Ancient Greek art emphasized the importance and accomplishments of human beings. Greek Influence on Roman Architecture. The Romans were tremendous builders, engineers, and architects in their own right, but in the course of conquering the western world, they were heavily influenced aesthetically by the Greeks.Therefore, The Greek contribution that is most important is Art and Architecture]]> 2017-11-29 12:38:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/211353889 sam_montaldo https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/211683705 the reason that math an science was the best thing that was invented by the greeks because with out math and science we would not have thing like car or building and technology like phones or computers and medicine to help people that are sick with cancer and another reason that we need math is because with out math we would have no form of money and wth out science we would not know how to make thing and not know what they are made of and with out math ad science we would have never build a rock to go the moon and the greek would have not been able to build the Parthenon and many more thats why i think math and science in the most important ]]> 2017-11-30 01:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/211683705 https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/212131842 Out of all the great accomplishments that ancient Greek is done I think the development of democracy was the best. I think democracy was the best because  America and other countries still use it. Democracy enables the citizens of a place to participate in the government. The man who helped develop democracy back in ancient greek is Pericles. Pericles had a speech at a funeral during the war against Sparta and he talked a lot about democracy and how is a equal form of government and that the men who died fought for that and if it weren't for this development of democracy the world would be much different  ]]> 2017-12-01 02:20:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lkunze1_1/GloryofGreecePer1/wish/212131842
