Summary: Stability versus Innovation; Democracy versus Theocracy.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
The Roman Empire lasted roughly a thousand years, and so did the Ancient Greek culture before them. <\/div>\n
Greek and Roman art and architecture developed and changed a lot over about 2000 years. <\/div>\n
Both cultures were idealistic and valued human intelligence, always seeking to define perfect proportions in architecture and art.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
However the Egyptians valued consistency, stability, and an authoritarian god-like leader in religion and society, which is shown by very little change over 3000 years.  <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
____________<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
While the Classical Greeks strove for idealistic perfection, the Romans shifted the emphasis away from the Greek images of generalized, god-like perfection. Romans moved toward an ideal of distinguished individualism, of human heroes. This is why portraiture is one of the strengths of Roman art.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Western Civilizations, such as our United States, generally developed from the idealistic humanist culture of the Greco-Roman world.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“Western” values are defined by a philosophy of HUMANISM.<\/div>\n
Humanism stresses the values of individual human beings, intelligence and dignity.<\/div>\n
Humanism proposes that people can resolve problems through the use of science and reason,<\/div>\n
________<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Alternatives to Humanism: <\/div>\n
     Egypt and the Ancient Aegean: theism and theocracy<\/div>\n
          Societies which value and depend on religion and deities for guidance, laws; <\/div>\n
         Authority for both politics and religion based on divine intervention  <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
       upcoming: Medieval cultures: theism and theocracy<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n

CRITICAL THINKING DISCUSSION:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Primary post:<\/div>\n
    DISCUSS: the impact of Greek and Roman cultures on our Western culture, specifically the USA, today. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
       – RESEARCH & EMBED: One image <\/div>\n
           Find an image of art or architecture from our modern world that clearly shows influence from Greek or Roman culture.<\/div>\n
               image MUST be embedded, not just attached, so that we can easily see it in the discussion<\/div>\n
            Include the photocredit (source of the image)   <\/div>\n
            Include a sentence or two describing WHY the image you’ve chosen is clearly influenced by Greek or Roman culture.<\/div>\n
               ie: Does it visually resemble one of the works of art or architecture that we have studied this week? Be specific.  <\/div>\n
  <\/div>\n
       – GUIDING QUESTIONS: … PROMPTS for your critical thinking. You don’t have to answer all of these<\/div>\n
               How are “we U.S, Americans” similar or different from the Greco-Roman world in our ideas, values, arts?<\/div>\n
               Are we moving towards the ideals of Greco-Roman Humanism, or towards the ideals of Egyptian Pharoah Theocracy? <\/div>\n
               How does the symbolism of your chosen image demonstrate these ideas or values?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
               As quickly as our modern world is changing, do we still hold those same values of humanism?<\/div>\n
               Or are our overall societal values changing, away from humanism to something else?<\/div>\n
                Should we seek something different, or continue to hold Humanism as our guide?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
       – SUPPORT your comments and ideas with specific evidence from our studies: <\/div>\n
        ie: Quote or paraphrase Stokstad or any SmartHistory\/Khan Academy sources. GIVE CITATIONS inline!<\/div>\n
               – Don’t make assumptions. Don’t invent information. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
   <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
     – Does our modern, Western, American society live up to our humanistic ideals? <\/div>\n
              (values of individual human beings, intelligence, dignity; the use of science and reason)<\/div>\n
       – Or, are we moving toward theocratric ideals?<\/div>\n
                (based on a divine authority which knows more than individual humans and guides them)<\/div>\n
       – Why or why not? Give specific examples. Include specific information and your resources. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
     – What do you think needs to happen to improve our society? <\/div>\n
         Be specific with at least one specific idea proposal which you feel would make a difference today. <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
