Greek Cultural Contributions
Ali Denny
Architecture
We see Greek influence in architecture today in important buildings. The White House, Capitol Building, Supreme Court, and the Lincoln memorial all have columns that show Greek influence.
Government
Some ways that the Greek Government affects us today is that you still have to be 18 to vote, we have a democracy, we still have term limits(the president holds office for 4yrs. He is limited to two terms).
Sports
We still have Greek sports affect us today because we have the Olympics every year(boxing, wrestling, discus, etc...).
Mythology
Today, we still study Mythology; some movies are based off of Greek mythology like Hercules and Percy Jackson movies.
Philosophy
Greek Philosophy affects us today because we still see doctors using Hippocrates Oath. We still use some of those math skills today like PI, Pythagoras Theory and still study geometry.
