Greek Culture Contributions
Natalie Bostelman
Government
We have a democracy,
You can vote and are encouraged to vote once you are over the age limit. There are term limits on how long the leaders can be in that same position.
Mythology
We still see some Greek mythology in Percy Jackson, Hercules, in other books and we still are studying it.
Philosophy
We still see doctors using the Hippocratic oath. We still use some of their math skills today like P.I. Dytha Goreum theorem and still studying geometry.
Sports
They were felt to be very important people.Today we still have the Olympic Games. We still have many of the same events that they had back then.
Architecture
We see Greek influence today in important buildings, such as the Capitol Building, The White House, Supreme Court, and the Lincoln Memorial all have columns that reflect Greek architecture.
