Greece

__

Physical Features and Climate__ Ancient Greece had a mediterranean climate so it was very hot, and dry in the summers. Ancient Greece's average climate was 24°C (75°F). Temperatures did not go below 4.4°C (40°F). The geogrophy of Ancient Greece was devided into three sections : The Coast, The Lowlands , and The Mountains.

__Use of the Environment__ They need it to survive and live in the climate conditions From June to August 1982, the air pollution became so big that the government closed down 87 industries. Four environmental also planning services were consolidated under the Ministry for Physical Planning, Housing, and the Environment. In Canada our air is cleaner because its not ancient, Ancient Greece is old not new.

__Government__

The people of Ancient Greece all spoke the same language, believed in the same Gods and shared a common heritage. The citizens of this country were known as Greeks and although they all shared the same country they were divided into many different city-states known as “Polis”.

The city-states were created on the idea of citizenship with different rights and privileges for men, women, their children, foreigners and slaves. All men, regardless of their wealth had political rights.

The city-states were divided from each other by the mountains and rivers of the country. Each city-state had it’s own personality, laws and customs. However, the city-states could be placed into three different types of Government. The three main forms of government were; Monarchy, Oligarchy and Democracy.

Monarchy governments were ruled by a King. One city-state which was a Monarchy was Corinth.

Oligarchy governments were ruled by a small group of people such as nobles. Sometimes, one of the ruling people would try to gain more power and if successful he would be known as a “Tyrant“. These leaders usually lost their power if they tried to hand it down to a family member. One such city-state that was an Oligarchy was Sparta. Sparta was a feared military power and recruited boys at the age of seven to train in the military.

Democracy governments were ruled by the citizens by voting in an assembly. The Ancient Greeks were the first country to have a Democracy government. The Democracy governments of today, such as Canada’s is based on the Ancient Greek democracy. The city-state of Athens was an example of the Democracy government. All male citizens born in Athens and at least 18 years old could vote in laws of their city. This Democracy lasted for about one hundred years ending when Athens was defeated in war by Sparta.

__Social Needs__ Some of the Greece social needs are:
 * family roles
 * occupation
 * education
 * transpirtation & Government

The flag from Greece.

social needs-(what they live for) Government-(their place or community) boys would go to school daily while the girls would stay home and learn to spin and weave. At the age of seven the boys would start school and learn about sports and learn what we would learn.The social needs are that would they would live for,and like what they would need to survive greece.

__Values and Beliefs__ In ancient Greece the mother stay's home and cook's. And takes care of the kids and the father hunts for food and works to pay for the bills and to have a roof over there heads and food in there stomach and so that is values and beliefs.

__Scientific and Technological Advance__

__Water Technology__

One of the

 Other __To be a Greek citizen you had to fallow laws of the religion and the laws of the city .You had to speak the same language, believe in the same gods ex; Apollo the goddess of sun or Eros the god of love , have the same heritage, then they could call there self Greeks but they had to live like this for ever !Also The young girls would never go to school .Instead they would stay home. However the boys would go to school to learn and then eventually get a job to support their wife and kids. Sometimes the couples who were getting married were pick for each other over the amount the other family would pay for them to get married. Ancient Greek food had many religious and philosophical meanings. They never ate meat unless it had been sacrificed to a god or hunted in the wild. The Greeks believed it was wrong to eat a domesticated animal such as a lamb without sacrificing it to the Gods first. Even vegetables had different meanings which were linked to the Gods’ likes or dislikes. The Pythagoreans for example would not eat beans. Wine, which the Greeks drank often, caused them to think of the God Dionysos and the eating of bread brought thoughts of the Gods Demeter and Persephone.

Greece was the first to create olimpics,even though they did they would not let women compete.Some people believe that it was because the boys or men were bare of clothes.
