Greece was really kinda the birth of Western culture (lest just go with this thanks history textbooks).
The Greeks developed the systems of government we know today, like democracy! Though Greek democracy differs from today’s democracy, it’s what started the idea. (Greek democracy was more direct and involved regular citizens in government while countries like the US have a representative type democracy.)
Greece also was a center for the arts and architecture, just look at the things that came out of Athens! They’ve got the Parthenon for heaven sake!
Greece also was a center for philosophy, Plato, Socrates, the whole gang! These philosophies can be seen still applied today.
Math. You know that one guy Phythagaros? Yeah. He developed the stupid a^2+b^2=c^2. I hate geometry, thanks Egypt and Greece.
The Greeks further developed medicine which started from the Egyptians really....
War! Look at Sparta, new technique and weapons! Fuuun!
The Greeks traded like crazy! That was kinda a big thing. Since the Greeks were on the .... Greek islands .... they had few places suitable for farming. They resorted to a few crops that could grow on rocky terrain like olives, etc. They herded goats that could hand the terrain, etc. Fish. Everything else had to come from somewhere else. This trade spread Greek culture.
Literature and Mythology. We learn all sorts of Greek mythology in school or whatever, from Zues to Eurydice. Also literature took a turn here and started to become... epic really. We have the illiad and the odyssey, the illiad being about the Trojan wars, and the odyssey about the trip back home from the war and posidon being rude.
We also have theater! We get dramas and comedies!
So yeah there’s a lot about Greece that’s kinda important culture wise.

when the government goes into deficit spending to stimulate the economy, it has to borrow more money. This borrowing may have a
Ilya [14]

Answer:

This borrowing may have a negative impact by crowding out private investment.

Explanation:

When the government goest into deficit spending to stimulate the economy in times when the economy is slowing down, what happens is that the government now demands more loanable funds: it demands a higher proportion of the savings in the economy in the form of government bonds.

This higher government demand for loanable funds crowds out private investment for two reasons:

  • It raises the interest rate, making private investment more expensive.
  • It reduces the amount of loanable funds available for the private sector (because it takes over a larger share of them).

Before 1792, which of the following were African Americans not allowed to do in the new Methodist church?
iren2701 [21]

The African Americans who became preachers were not allowed to do in the new Methodist church. African Americans were allowed to do very little things back then. They were allowed to go to small churches like ‘The New Methodist Church’. They were allowed to worship with whites but not really, they were allowed to sit in the balcony just in the back, and sometimes just some can perform the ceremony of the Eucharist.

The whites did not want to go to church with the African Americans already so, obviously they didn’t want to look forward and see them and worship while looking at them.
