Similarities between the ancient Greek society and the modern western culture

The drama structure

The structure of drama and plays known as “poetics” in the 4^th C B.C, as observed by philosopher Aristotle followed the beginning, middle and end format. The modern drama and plays are all based on this similar structure. The play will have an introduction. It builds up to the climax and then it ends with a conclusion with moral teachings as the end. So the structure of drama in the modern western society is directly influenced by the ancient Greek structure.

Olympic calendar and international sporting events

The introduction of Olympics games in the 1890s to bring nations together is actually a revival of the original Olympic tradition that died in the 5^th C A.D. The 4 year in interval for the world cup competition is actually the same as the 4-year interval in which the ancient Greek society rival city entered into an armistice not based on political differences to send best athletes to Olympic Games

This design patterns by the likes of Paul Piret give inspiration to most modern clothe and fashion designers. The drawings are wholly designed with the influence of ancient

Democracy

Democracy in modern culture is the greatest inheritance from the ancient Greek society, the word democracy in Greek means “people power”. The Athens embodied government by the people, personal freedom and legal equity. This same case has been embraced in the modern day society political setting.
