Ancient Greek culture and current societies culture

The culture of the ancient Greek civilization has many aspects similar to aspects of the cultures of modern societies, as all we know, Roman and Greek ancient civilization are the roots of the current cultures so is logical that the culture of the modern societies are strongly related with ancient Greek culture. In this essay I am going to develop the similarities and differences between ancient Greek civilization culture and the culture of western modern societies.

To begin with, western societies’ culture is strongly influenced by many aspects of ancient Greek culture, aspects such as political structure and views, for example democracy; also the social structure is very similar but differing on the slave class, and the art of ancient Greece has exercised a huge influence on the culture of many countries from ancient times until the present.

To continue, religion is totally different between nowadays culture and ancient culture, ancient greek religion has twelve gods and the main one was Zeus, but in current societies the religions believe in only one god, and also the lifestyle and way of thinking of people is very different.

In conclusion, besides ancient Greek culture has strongly influenced current societies cultures, and has many aspects in which they are similar also are some aspects that differs between them and that is what make them different.
