A student is writing an argumentative essay claiming how Greek thinking and culture impacted the ancient world and our world today. Read the student’s introduction and write a body paragraph that follows.
Student’s Introduction Paragraph:
Many of the fundamental elements of Western culture first arose more than 2,000 years ago in ancient Greece. After conquering the Greeks, the ancient Romans spread Greek ideas throughout their empire, which included much of Europe. From politics and philosophy to art, medicine and science, the ancient Greeks generated thoughts that shaped the record of humankind for the next 2,500 years. Although scholars agree that Ancient Greece certainly influenced our world today, they disagree on the extent of the Greeks’ influence. Without the Ancient Greeks’ thinking and culture, Western Civilization would simply not exist today.
Student’s Notes:
“...the ancient Romans spread Greek ideas throughout their empire, which included much of Europe” (1).
“The glorification of the human form and of human accomplishment defined ancient Greek art, philosophy, literature, and religion” (2).
“The ancient Greeks wanted to know how the universe works” (1).
“The Greeks were the first in the West to experiment with the concept of democratic government. Many successful modern democratic governments in the world today are heirs to the Greek model” (2).
“Democracy. Philosophy. Sculpture. Dramatic tragedies. The Olympic Games” (1).
“Even their gods were created in the image of humans” (2).
“The ancient Greeks wanted to know how the universe works. To probe such questions, the Greeks turned to philosophy, mathematics, and science” (1).
