Ancient Greece and the Han China civilizations were both very similar in comparison. Each culture had its way of doing things. For instance, something you could look at is their beliefs and appearances were similar. While their availability to certain crops and economic opportunity were different. Life in ancient Greece was quite different for men and women, also it was a very big difference between the upper class and lower class. Men were expected to take part of the public life in their city. While in both civilization's women were expected to have a private life as wives and mothers. Greek City-states legally owned slaves so I’m guessing it was a little easier to be a slave in Han China. Also in Han China, the upper class tortured the classes that weren't wealthy. Slavery was a major feature of Greek culture. Wealthy families would have slaves or lowerclass men to carry out the household chores, to go shopping at the market and even to help bring up …show more content…
The men had slaves or others to tend to their land and fortune and only men of wealth have time for things such as government, war, literature, and philosophy. Most of the time, the lower class people were not citizens of Greece, so the best these people could have ever be a part of was the Middle social class. Lower class women had to work for a living, and they might have sold cloth that they had made, other items, or as retailers of food. In Han China, the lower class of citizens were mainly the craftsmen or artisans. They were responsible for making items like knives or swords as well as creating luxury goods for wealthy people. In the Han China, some women did have power, they worked hard for their families with little reward. While in Greece the woman was seen as just child birthers. Just giving woman an an education was seen as a terrible thing to
There are many similarities and differences between the women living in Rome and Han China during 753 B.C.E. to 330 C.E. In both societies; women were property to the male figure of the household whether that be their father or husband. Obviously equality was not a concept in neither Ancient Rome or Han China. In Rome, women played no public role whatsoever, but in Han China, women engaged in various professions in and outside of the home. Another important difference between these two places is that under no circumstances were the Roman women allowed to obtain political power, while, in Han China, women were given power. Regarding Ancient Rome, most of the information stated in this essay pertains to the women in the upper classes.

The empires of Rome and China were very great ones, they both had many similarities and differences in the way they ran their empires. One major difference was the way they treated their women. Both Chinese and Roman women were unequal in social status than the men of the empires were, but they were definitely treated different in both empires. Women of China were treated quite harshly and were expected to take orders at all times by their husbands, and were to serve them always. This started to happen especially after Confucius died because he taught people to treat each other the same, “after his death women became less free and lost status,”(Arvind 10). Women of Rome were treated like goddesses; they were to stay at home as housewives
The Han Dynasty was the second imperial dynasty right after the Qin Dynasty, so there are major similarities between the two. One of those is the social structure of the country. The system consists of three tiers. Bureaucrats and government officials are on top, skilled laborers such as farmers and blacksmiths were the middle class, and servants and merchants were the bottom class. The country was ran by the Emperor and his/her royal family. Importantly the social class did not impact the wealth or power of each individual or family, it only indicated their status. This is how order was established throughout this civilization.

Ancient middle east and ancient Greek civilizations are two of the oldest known civilizations in our history. Many similarities and differences existed between these two civilizations, although they co-existed during a certain timeframe (1150 BC to 146 BC), they were located in different geographical areas.

Their style in art was very similar their artwork showed imagery from historical events and also mystical events. They portrayed what was truth and what their culture perceived to be true but through artwork. The similarities between them that stand out to me the most is their similarities in their slave trade. To both of them slaves were considered as possessions that were under complete control from their owners in their systems the slave was the worth not the work the slave did.
