Contemporary Greek Politics and the Influence of the United States 1974 was an important year for Greek politics. This year we will change Greece and its politics forever. For most countries, 1974 may not be important, but for Greece this is the year that we decided to rely on democracy. Prior to deciding the change, Greece did not perform well in the economy. Despite the ruins of Greece, after many attacks and loss of soldiers in World War II, they began their own warfare. They were many events that caused this incident, but the first major event was the death of Prime Minister Metaxas in 1941.
The basic political principles of modern democracy come from ancient Greeks of democratic origin. Due to the sustained impact of that idea, ancient Greece was known as the birthplace of Western civilization. Indeed, the Greeks invented the idea of the West as a distinctive area; they are where they live in the west of the powerful civilizations of Egypt, Babylon and the Phoenicians. Today, we were taught that democracy is the (correct) civilized political system (only). It is the backbone of collective identity in Western imagination; the NATO Charter insists it is an adhesive bonding North America and Europe. Even the influential Athens in the past doubted the cautiousness and effectiveness of democracy, but the contemporary debate of today's mainstream in the United States and Europe is a way of remixing our own oligarchy, There is no tendency to propose bigger help of monarchic power structure. It is a matter of the national constitution.
Many people believe that the democratic political system has developed in ancient Greece and is the most important contribution to modern society. Literature at the time continued to comment on the contemporary audience. Greek epic "Odyssey" and "Iliad" still inspire the inspiration of contemporary works. Plato's work is still a hot topic for scholars to discuss. The influence of Greek literature on Western civilization is equally large. For example, in the medical field, you will not be considered a doctor unless you first do Hi Placer's oath.
Greek civilization has made a great contribution to the development of contemporary Western culture. The three most important contributions to our social infrastructure are language, philosophy and government. The people of ancient Greece developed complicated languages in a very rich language. It has existed for nearly 3,500 years and is the longest language from the early Indo-European languages. It also had a major impact on the Western British civilization as well. Like English Greek, it is a speech, the first language to use vowels. A very diverse vocabulary in Greek also influences and promotes contemporary English. Show more
