Ok, so I'm in a reallyyy hard Western Civ. class and tomorrow we have a S.S (Socratic Seminar) where we discuss and my teacher sits in a listens and i need to discuss and defend what I think is the most enduring aspect of Greek culture.
Choices
-Politics
-Conquest/war
-Art/ sculpture
- philosophy

What is it? and websites and such would be nice reasons why the others are not the most enduring would really help.
I'm so lost and really need help here! PLEASE
 
i would say politics because some of the city-states i think used aspects of democracy in their government where they gave power to the people.

sure war was a highlight of their culture but it has no importance nowadays

art was also one of their important cultural achievements which u can use but idk wat info u can use on it

and philosophy... most the things that Aristotle Pluto and Socrates were important but some of their theories have been denounced

so i say politics
 
The Republic...... the model for the modern democracy.
The creation of History as a science.
Philosophy that is still taught 2300 years later.
It's a subjective question. What do YOU think is most important?
The easiest way to answer wuld be the republic, look up how Mr. Jefferson decided what to pen to paper, for clues as to the importance of the greeks.

Don't suggest NAMBLA as the answer though. While funny... I doubt it's what your Professor wants.
