How Did Alexander The Great Influence Greek Art

ESSAY 1
Alexander the Great was the King of Macedon and is one of the greatest military leaders in the Greco era in other words the Hellenistic period. His empire spread from Gibraltar to the Punjab. He was brilliant in planning strategic plans and attacks. An example would be when he created the Macedonian phalange. At the death of Alexander a new Greek age began which was the Hellenistic period during which Greek leaders spread Greek culture to the area Alexander had conquered. Alexander's colleague and relative Ptolemy took over Alexander's Egyptian conquest and created a city of Alexandria that became famous for its library. That attracted the leading scientific and philosophical thinkers of the age.
After the Hellenistic period came
the middle ages. Charlemagne is one of the most famous ruler during this time. Charlemagne's greatest impact on European history is the Carolingian Empire. By 800, his empire included two-thirds of Italy, all of France, and a part of Spain. During this, Charlemagne accomplished many different things. He built up the royal power by limiting the authority of nobles, and he ended up making culture better as a whole. Today, he is known as the founding father of Europe.
Lastly came the early modern era. One of the most influential people was John Locke. He was a medical researcher. Much of Locke's work is characterized by dictatorship. This deals with the individual person and the government and church. Locke wanted everyone to use reason to search after truth rather than simply accept the opinion of authorities. In the end, he was a strong influence on the thinking of the American Revolutionaries.
Alexander the Great, Charlemagne, and John Locke had all impacted society during their times but most importantly greatly influenced today’s society. They did what they believed and went after what they thought was right. Without these three men we would never know about the different findings such as the city of Alexandria, the royal power, or the basic concept of using reasoning. Without history there would be no way to learn from the past to make the future better.

The Renaissance was the period right after the Middle Ages. It started in the 14th century in a city called Florence, and eventually spread throughout Europe. It was considered to have ended with the counter-reformation, which was the reform movement in the Roman Catholic Church. This is when the art of painting came about. By the year 1500, the Renaissance revived ancient forms and their content. The spiritual content of painting changed subjects from Roman history and mythology. With that speaking, The Middle Ages and Medieval are comparable to one another, however the Renaissance marks the end of the middle ages.
However, the scientific revolution was a movement that took place in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in Europe. During this time scientists began to use the scientific method. They would do this by experimenting and using observations to discover the laws of nature. Some of the tools that were used were the microscope and thermometer. One of the most famous scientific thinkers was English mathematician Isaac Newton. On the other hand, The Greco-Roman civilization was created by the Greeks and later practiced by the Romans in the Mediterranean area. Science, architecture, art, and literature are all examples of self-government within the civilization.
In the end these periods can always relate to one another in some way.
The reason for this is because without one era you would never learn and be able to build off of it to become a new one. A perfect example is the Art that started in the renaissance period. They were able to create paintings when they revived ancient forms and their content. Greece is famous for its philosophers and without their thinking approach modern would be very different and the entire world could still be stuck in the middle ages. One can argue that there are some differences but this is because each time period is always trying to make improvements and think of the next best thing to improve society. Every one of the eras could take what they already know from another time to create something

In the past students learned from the teacher and all facts were learned and founded in text books. All learning took place in the classroom. Information about faraway places was found in books. Now a day, students learn from the teacher, each other, the internet, books, movies. Students ask questions, wonder, explore, experiment or look into new ideas.
On the other hand, when dealing with religion in the past Christianity was used as a power in a negative way by the roman popes.
They would get people to do bad things so they would use corruption to get in their heads. With that speaking in today’s society spiritual beliefs have shaped how mankind has thought and acted since time. Many people today use religion to focus on the disciplines and morals mentioned in the Bible to create a better world. The gods in Egypt times would base their laws off of what the gods would say to them. Today we base are laws and rights of what we vote for, and stand up for ourselves as
individuals.
Rome was a society highly developed in political skills and in military. They made their military professional and created a system of government for example the United States and France. Political affairs were dominated by a small number of noble families. The upper classes generally followed one of two informal political factions. Populares were the ones that appealed to the interests of the commons. Today, we would call this the “left wing” or democratic side. The second political faction was the Optimates which were the senate. They promoted wealthy and the old noble families. Today, we would call this the “right wing” or republican side. Greece was system of corruption and each government saw itself obligated to give in to rich families. Each government before the elections promised jobs in the public services, so that they ended up with having more civil servants which has hurt the economy as a whole. As a country today they are trying to change the whole system to either have salary cuts or pay taxes. With that speaking, Rome had a vast area of land, with human resources. Their economy remained focused on farming and trade. The economy of the early Republic was largely based on and paid labour. However, foreign wars and conquests made slaves cheap, and by the late Republic, the economy was largely dependent on slave labour for both skilled and unskilled work.
