Herodotus repeatedly underscores the differences between Hellenic customs and Persian customs, alternating between admiring Persian practices and customs and referring to them as “barbarians.” He at one time, even goes so far as to portray the Persians in a favorable light in comparison to the Greeks by commending them for their trial practices. For example in Persian governing proceedings, punishment may be carried out only if the virtues of an individual are considered to not outweigh his offenses. Lying is considered the greatest of offenses while concurring debt is considered the second gravest offense, implying that Persians tend to be for the most part an honest group. Though welcoming of foreign customs, “Persians will drive out of the…
Both Persia and Greece were very influential during 600 BCE-600 CE. They were both very similar and different in their political and economical areas, and they also had similarities in differences in their social life. Politically, Persia and Greece were very different in the way that Persia was ruled by a king while in Greece each polis was governed separately. Now economically, Greece depended on imported goods, and Persia was mainly an agriculture based economy. Their social lives also had similarities and differences, but one of the main similarities was the males role in daily life.…
The act of talking to someone through testimony is the best way to overcome trauma that has haunted someone’s life. By talking to someone rather than talking in monologue, the burden is shared with the listener and therefore becomes less for the teller. Another way someone can share a burden with a listener is through storytelling. By writing stories and sharing it with an audience, the writer is able to share his experience in the world. In other novels, however, the novelist may create a character to stand in for the audience as the character communicates his traumatic story. In Maus by Art Spiegelman, the traumatic experience is being told by Spiegelman’s father and Spiegelman creates himself as a character in the book to be a stand-in for…

The main differences in the Greek and Persian societies were their way of viewing the world. The Greek wanted their king to be god-like in their statues and saw them as perfection. On the other hand, the Persians more saw the world for how it was. They knew their society wasn’t perfect and didn’t want it be seen that way. While the Greeks and Persians had a different way of governing and religious outlook, both gained cultural achievements from profits of their empires’.…
Abstract In recent years Miami has expanded in many ways. Developers, foreigners, are once again investing in one of the most visited touristic places in the United States. Mainly, downtown Miami has redeveloped even if the economic crisis is still happening. The new era of Miami respects the nature, adapting and reimagining proven tropical building methods.

The European Colonial period lasted from the 16th century to the early 20th century; European powers such as France and England established colonies throughout the American homeland, and in other geographical locations such as Asia and Africa. Since, these European settlers were the ones who founded our globally recognized cities today, obviously, they had a tremendous influence on the architectural design. The most populated newfound American cities such as Boston, Philadelphia, and New York’s derivation were architecturally focused on human welfare and economics. The baseline of each of these modern-day economic powerhouse cities today originated from the genius and innovative ideals of the European settlers…
In Greek religion and mythology, Pan (Ancient Greek: Πᾶν, Pān) is the god of the wild, shepherds and flocks, nature of mountain wilds, hunting and rustic music, and companion of the nymphs.[1] His name originates within the Ancient Greek language, from the word paein (πάειν), meaning "to pasture."[2] He has the hindquarters, legs, and horns of a goat, in the same manner as a faun or satyr. With his homeland in rustic Arcadia, he is recognized as the god of fields, groves, and wooded glens; because of this, Pan is connected to fertility and the season of spring. The ancient Greeks also considered Pan to be the god of theatrical criticism.[3]…
The U.S. government was created in three branches, the executive, the judicial and legislative. The government felt that this division of power would check and balance them. The legislative branch or the law-making body of government is broken up in power between the Senate, and the House of Representatives. The executive branch, headed by the president of the United States takes care of most of the decision-making needed in passing laws, and policies. The judicial branch, determines what is legal and what laws are unconstitutional. According to document four, the president also has the power to veto laws in which the Congress makes, making them void. However, if large percentage of Congress still wants the law passed after the president vetoes the law, then they can overrule his choice. The congress also has the power to impeach the president if they believe he is not fit for the job. The president can check on the Supreme Court by electing judges. However, congress can impeach these judges if they feel that they are not fulfilling their jobs. Through this system of checks and balances, no branch of government can become too powerful. This system is called the "checks and balances."…
The assessment I have chosen for this quarter is creating a movie poster. The characters in The Great Gatsby will be used as comparisons to the celebrities. The main character in this novel is Gatsby. Gatsby is a 30 year old good looking man who easily attracts the ladies. Also, he happens to be extremely wealthy. Jay strives to achieve whatever goal he sets himself. In this novel, his goal is to make a fortune so he could live happily with the love of his love. Gatsby is a very open-minded, outgoing character. He seems to be trustworthy, but he knows a lot of people so it may be smart not to open up to him. The celebrity that best fits the character of Jay Gatsby would have to be Zac Efron. Not only does Efron have the looks like Gatsby,…
The differences between the Greek culture and American cultures. The movie illustrated culture clash between both cultures differences. In the movie apparently the Greek family only have close relationship with their own people, Greek’s people, and they see non-Greek’ people like outsiders or only for business purposes. For example, when Ian’s parent went to the engagement party to Toula’s house, and Ian’s mom brought a pound cake for the dinner, Toula’s mother did not know what type of cake it was until Ian’s mom explain her after repetitive times. Also, during the party, Ian’s parents seems dry and boring about the party, dance, Greek food and drinks because they are not accustomed to that on the contrary Toula’s family are having fun and…
I stopped for a moment just to observe the people in the streets. Many of them were scurrying to get somewhere, talking on the phone, listening to music, and ignoring one another as if they were the only ones here. The men were all dressed in their suits and ties and the women’s high heeled shoes could be heard striking the ground very swiftly one after the other. The enormous skyscrapers tower over me and I can no longer feel the summer sun beating down on my skin. The architecture of each building is so eye-catching and differs from one another. Some appear to be made of all glass, others are more vintage looking, and some even have striking statues attached to the buildings. The streets seem more congested than the side walks. The continuous sounds of cars honking at one another pierce through my ears, and the bright yellow taxis are so overpowering to the eyes.…

Greece’s culture is high context, which means that for the Greek culture the meaning of messages is determined by the context or the environment. Most of their communication is implicit. The members of the culture are skilled in reading non-verbal cues. Their interactions do not need explanation because of their common history. This is the reason why Greeks will interrupt what someone is saying while they try to figure out what is means. This is a common aspect of Greek communication. Greeks tend to speak quite loudly and with a lot of emotion. At times it may appear as if they are yelling and annoyed but it is most likely a normal tone of voice. Direct eye contact is expected it is viewed as a sign of interest and respect towards the speaker.…
To be Greek or not be; that is the question. Choosing to go Greek is a once in a lifetime choice you can decide in your college career. There are many types of council to choose from but luckily there is only four on the Texas Woman’s University campus. They are the College PanHellenic Council, Interfraternity Council, National Pan-Hellenic Council, and Multicultural Greek Council. In total there are 11 greek organizations. You can either join a fraternity if male or a sorority if female. You may have seen them at the Freshman Orientation showing their strolls or around campus wearing their letters.…
