It was freedom, philosophers argued, that had at Marathon been defended by the Athenians. Because their victory had inspired other Greeks to resist Xerxes, Marathon had been an important battle: in Marathon, the foundations of western civilization had been laid.

The Battle of Marathon was significantbecause it proved to the Greeks that the Persians were not 'invincible', which boosted the moral of the Greek troops, increasing their confidence to incline themselves in a common cause if the Persian attacked again (which they would).

Analyze ONE example from the Greek city-states of attitudes towards society and social structure.

Makovka662 [10]

Athens was one of the greatest examples of city-states in Ancient Greece. It established the foundations of direct democracy based on certain restrictions to be able to vote and have decision-making power. In order to vote for legislation a person had to be a male citizen, adult, not submissive or a woman, foreigners were also excluded from participation. Related to Athens' social structure, male citizens had the greatest advantages regarding political and social rights, property ownership, participation, etc.

Those who belong to the aristocracy through ownership of lands or long ago inheritance are the ones in control of the political power. Then, a middle class of land-owners whose wealth was quite limited and business men, such as merchants, traders who were closely watched by the Athenian citizens who had some limited rights depending if they could ascend in Athenian society. Below, in the social structure there's women, children and teens, laborers, slaves and foreigners. The people in these diverse groups were not considered citizens with very limited rights unlike male aristocrats. Being dependent on others to survive was a key element to be disenfranchised from the decision-making process in Athens, which was the case for the afore mentioned groups.

The Grange was a movement that had its goals o the improvement of the conditions for the farmers. This movement was educating the farming families, making them familiar with the new ideas and technologies, as well as having multiple different social programs. Weirdly enough, this movement was also with a religious background, so the religion played a crucial part in its activities. The Grange was formed in 1860 and was very popular until 1880, but larger organization later out-competed it and it lost lot of its members. The movement is still active nowadays though, with small but loyal membership.
