The correct answer is: Roman society was hugely militaristic, bent on territorial domination, and Greek city-states were democratic and focused on arts and culture.
One of the main differences between the Greek polis and the Roman Republic is that the Greeks had a democratic society, they were researchers, lovers of knowledge, wisdom, and beauty.
On the other hand, the Romans had an aristocratic society, they were practical and their main interest was to expand the Empire through military forces and also to enrich themselves.
The resignation of President Nixon ended a chapter in the relationship of politicians and the media and began a new one.
Politicians were now much more hesitant around the media and the media saw a new role for themselves as investigators in a way not seen since the muckrackers.
Virginia's climate allowed many crops to grow on the lands of many white rich landowners. So, in order to increase the harvesting and planting they transported slaves from Africa in the trans Atlantic slave trade, resulting in the establishment of slavery.

Apollo was passionately fond of a youth named Hyacinthus. He accompanied him in his sports, carried the nets when he went fishing, led the dogs when he went to hunt, followed him in his excursions1 in the mountains, and neglected for him his lyre2 and his arrows. One day they played a game of quoits3 together, and Apollo, heaving aloft the discus,4 with strength mingled with skill, sent it high and far. Hyacinthus watched it as it flew and excited with the sport, ran forward to seize it, eager to make his throw, when the quoit bounded from the earth and stuck him in the forehead. He fainted and fell. The god, as pale as himself, raised him and tried all his art to stanch5 the wound and retain the flitting life, but all in vain; the hurt was past the power of medicine. Q1 As, when one has broken the stem of a lily in the garden, it hangs its head and turns its flowers to the earth, so the head of the dying boy, as if too heavy for his neck, fell over on his shoulder. “Thou diest, Hyacinth,” so spoke Phoebus,6 “robbed of thy youth by me. Thine is the suffering, mine the crime. Would that I could die for thee! But since that may not be thou shalt live with me in memory and in song. My lyre shall celebrate thee, my song shall tell thy fate, and thou shalt become a flower inscribed with my regret.” While Apollo spoke, behold the blood which had flowed of hue more beautiful than the Tyrian7 sprang up, resembling the lily, if it were not that this is purple and that silvery white.8 And this was not enough for Phoebus; but to confer still greater honor, he marked the petals with his sorrow, and inscribed “Ah! Ah!” upon them, as we see to this day. The flower bears the name of Hyacinthus, and with every returning spring revives the memory of his fate. Q2
The Crusades were called because of religious devotion but the call was answered because to the desire for political and economic gain.
A call went out for soldiers to take Jerusalem from the Seljuk Turks.
Many second and third sons answered the call. In the Holy Land they could carve out principalities and become Lords. In Western Europe the land was all taken. The call was answer by most Crusaders for dreams of political and economic gain.
The Eastern Roman Empire had appealed for help became of the amount of land and control that they had lost to the Seljuk Turks.
The agreement with the Pope was that the Crusaders would liberate not only Jerusalem but the lands lost to the control of the Turks.
When the Crusaders liberated the land they kept the land for themselves. This showed that the reasons that the Crusaders answered the call was not religious devotion but economic greed.
Haha, hope this helps. <3 !
