Greek Culture And Location

In ancient Greece Athens and Sparta were known for being the biggest and most successful city states. Both Athens and Sparta were very influential and powerful polis, but they were very different from each other. They were not only different in their way of life, but their biggest difference was how they governed.

Culture can be seen from the interaction of many things such as history, activities and developments. It is also represented in the form of people live. Living in two different countries is a unique experience that gives you a new way of thinking. In my case I have lived in Colombia and now in the United States. Despite bearing some minor similarities, the differences between this to countries are notable in geography, festivities, economic and food.

Traditionally we might see culture as evolving ethnicity but it involves all sorts of factors like language, sexual orientation, disability, gender, age, class, education level, where you grew up, religion and other cultural dimensions.

     As we look back upon the two significant differences in the governmental systems of Sparta and Athens, there are also many other characteristics that distinguish the differences and similarities of these two city states. The difference in land as well as population perceives a relative historical comparison. Sparta lacked land area and was forced to seek other land in the fertile plain of Messenia. Although, if we look at the Athens, we see that they had no issues with plentiful land, as they possessed large and populous territory.

Athens and Sparta, two rivals of ancient Greece that made the most noise and gave us the most traditions. Though they were close together on a map, they were far apart in what they valued and also how they lived their lives. Spartan and Athenian society were very different in many parts. The differences are what set these two apart, and the things they shared in common are what unified them as Greek city-states. Sparta and Athens shared similarities and differences in their systems of government, military, judgment and views of their women. In addition to this, the social gatherings of Athenians and Spartans that were also similar and different.

There were many similarities and differences between Athens and Sparta due to the significance of Greek warfare of Greek civilization. Warfare influenced and shaped both city-states in multiple ways. For example; with gender roles Sparta cared for the freedom of women and not only men while Athens women were basically at home all day and took orders from all men. With sports Sparta was already competitive and physically stable compared to the Athens when all they cared for was the beauty of things. Warfare shaped their government as well Sparta being a militaristic society voting that all men should be in the army and with Athens caring for the views of men.

There are several things that make culture difficult to define. For starters, culture has no definite boundaries or limitations therefore, it can be influenced by many things. O 'Neil (2006) suggested that regardless of what culture a community or group are a part of, one thing is for certain, culture will change. Culture has become a key part of the interconnected world, which is made up of so many ethnically diverse societies. Culture can no longer be assumed to be fixed, if it ever was. Instead, it is essentially fluid and constantly in motion. This is one reason

Culture is essentially a learned way of life. Typically, people within the same culture speak the same language, eat identical foods, share common values, and also behave and think in a similar ways.

Culture is something that makes a person, it makes you who you are , how you act , and how you see things . Culture influences the way we view the world because my culture has different opinions about other people and things in the world. Culture shaped me when I was used to living in California and I had to move to Atlanta, Georgia where I didn't know anybody . I was in 6th grade and starting at a new school it was huge , I didn't know anybody . Everyone had a southern accent except me and they would always say I talk too proper until I got my accent .

Geography influences culture in many ways. A civilizations geography determines what kind of god(s) they believe in as well as influences from other cultures. These features provide a stepping stone for cultures that are solely based on geography.

There is a lot of different things between Athens and Sparta's. They might have some things in common too. Here are the differences between Athens and Sparta's. Like population,region, climate, economy, culture, military, outlook, ancestry, and girls education. Athens is the capital and the largest city of greece.

The word "culture" derives from a French term, which in turn derives from the Latin "colere," which means to tend to the earth and grow, or cultivation and nurture. (Zimmerman 1) This can also lead to one concluding that culture changes as civilization is changed and advancements occur. I am culturally Arab. Specifically from around Jerusalem and many other farmer civilations. The cuisine, historical significance of the area, and it’s religions are some of the most distinct differences the region has culturally.

If you look up the word culture in a dictionary, it may read something like “the sum total of ways of living built up by a group of human beings and transmitted from one generation to another" (culture). Pretty much what that means is just the way a group of people live in a specific area at a specific time. The culture of Spaniards in 2016 can be totally different than Spaniards in 1916, even if the location is the same. It is also possible that the culture of Spaniards who live near the coast right now can be different than say those who live in landlocked cities. Cultures are influenced based on location and time period. As people adjust to technology advances throughout the years as well as the way a region is shaped physically, culture too adjusts.

the genesis of these striking and distinctive cultures is caused in part by the different approaches

A country’s national culture dictates almost everything that is done on a daily basis within that specific country. Everything from the way people eat, the way they speak and the holidays they celebrate are all dictated by these established beliefs and traditions. Culture can be described as “the characteristic way of behaving and believing, that a group of people have developed over time and share in common” (Tarique). This can be easily
