ASSESSMENT 1 CONTEXT
GREECE AND ROME
About two thousand years ago, two productive societies introduced many of the foundational practices that continued to shape Western civilization for centuries. The Greeks and Romans figured out ways of understanding human life, social interactions, and the natural world that continue to influence us today. Their devotion to justice, harmony, reason, proportion, and beauty is the basis for classical ideals.
Independent Greek city-states developed various political structures, each of which aimed to produce social order while securing the welfare of all. Athens, in particular, fostered a community of citizens, artists, leaders, and thinkers who brought generations of significant progress.
Democratic institutions relied upon rhetorical methods that permitted widespread participation by individual members of the community.
Sculptors developed a style both realistic and ideal, human figures who are “eternally youthful, healthy, serene, dignified, and liberated from all accidents of nature” (Fiero, p. 52).
Playwrights created public spectacles that portrayed human character and behavior in all its grandeur and folly.
Philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle employed rational approaches to explore naturalistic accounts of natural phenomena and human conduct.
Even when the Greeks lost political independence, their ideas continued to influence culture throughout the Hellenistic era.
Although it borrowed extensively from the Greeks, Roman culture–first as a Republic and later as an Empire–developed distinctive practical features of its own.
