Greece current birth rate is 8.5-births/1,000 populations and currents death rate is 11.2-deaths/1,000 populations. The Crude Birth/ Death rate is figured out by the number of births divided by 1000 people in a population over a given time period which is usually a year. An interesting fact that was founded when doing research is that as a culture, the Greek population tends to live longer and have many kids during their life which is why it is normal for Greek families to have huge families.

The first and a fourth most important rule is the relationship you have while negotiating is most important and that a great relationship is needed in order to be successful. In the Greek culture, companies are hierarchical and the Greek citizens respect aged-position. Another important aspect to note is that you may never lose your temper and or become irritated during business negotiations. Additionally, it is important to be aware that Greeks are expert hagglers and love negotiating. Decision-making is handled at the top of the management spectrum, which mean they have a centralized business decision-making strategy and that an easy way to end negotiations is to create a deadline. Lastly, because their culture puts so much stress on the value of their relationships, contracts are often simple and accommodate both sides

    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.

    Greek democracy was in some way unfair. There were many both fair and unfair things about Ancient Greece. One unfair thing was that only males who were citizens were allowed to vote, no women, no men who weren’t citizens. That was unfair. Mainly men had power over everything and to me that was unfair. One fair thing is that all men were treated equally in some way. Just because you were “poor” or not extremely rich didn’t mean that you could not have a job. Slaves were used. Peasants were used. The image in document 3 shows a photo or drawing on pottery of slaves working really hard at their job and peasants at a market. This goes to show a fair side of Greece. Greek democracy was very lenient towards their military. They even paid their military…

    Greek life flourishes college campuses all across the nation. The amount of students who join each year only rises. Greek life first started in the late eighteenth century when students decided to form groups to discuss topics not discussed in class, seek academic ventures, create friendships, and express themselves in a free manner. The first fraternity was created in 1776 by a group of students in William and Mary College, where they named it Phi Beta Kappa and kept their society a secret. The first sorority was formed in 1867 at Monmouth College, where they named themselves Phi Beta Phi. The term “rush” originated during this time and was coined to imply fraternities rushing to find freshmen to join their group. Today, “recruitment” takes the place of rush because they only want to recruit the best people possible.…

    I researched the Greek community near Denver, Colorado. This community has lots of history and has impacted the surrounding communities in many ways. The immigrants began to arrive to the country in the early 1900s. Most of them, at the time, were not educated, but would farm, and raise sheep. As years passed, churches, markets, and other Greek inspired community areas were developed in the community. Now, many members of the Greek community celebrate and share their culture at one of Colorado’s largest cultural Festivals.…

    Is Greek life (X) beneficial (Y)? Greek life at colleges or universities are very important and beneficial for a students’ four years of college. Many people that have not done their research fully or participated in a sorority/ fraternity will pass judgment about them by stereotyping them to be this awful organization but in reality they are a lot more then meets the eye. They serve a good purpose for these young adults’ futures. It not only will be beneficial in terms of their future careers but also help them grow as individuals. It is a strong organization formed for bigger reasons then most are aware of. If it wasn’t such an excellent source of connections and character building then why would thousands of people throughout the United States and my own university (Arizona State University) waste their time and money?…

    Women in Greece

    • 2882 Words
    • 12 Pages

    The roles and status of women in ancient Greece are hard to asses since there is very little evidence from that period written or illustrated from a women’s perspective. Most literature and art from ancient Greece comes from men, thus making it hard to evaluate exactly what it was like to live has a women in those times. Sarah Pomeroy states in Goddesses, whores, wives and salves: women in classical antiquity "the study of women in ancient literature is the study of men's views of women and cannot become anything else." . This viewpoint is supported by many scholars in as stated in Ideology and “the status of Women” in Ancient Greece by Marilyn Katz. (pg 79) Pomeroy also suggest that This indisputable fact about ancient sources -of material authored by women we have only the fragments of a few women poets -has even led recently to the recommendation that the study of women in antiquity be refocused away from literature to culture. Otherwise "the study of women in ancient literature is the study of men's views of women and cannot become anything else." (pg 79 Ideology and “the status of Women” in Ancient Greece by Marilyn Katz.) This notion that women did not write literature we assume that women were consider inferior to men, and what they had to say was irrelevant. This idea is also introduced by Pomeroy, The notion that texts authored by men represent a "male" point of view is widely shared. This idea, however, not only introduces an artificial distinction between text and culture, but also implicitly relegates women to an entirely passive role in patriarchal society. (pg 79 Ideology and “the status of Women” in Ancient Greece by Marilyn Katz.) Thus its important when using literature such as Homers epic as evidence of women’s role and status during that time period were are critical of the conclusions we draw.…
