Sumerian and Greek SocietiesEssay Preview: Sumerian and Greek SocietiesReport this essayThe Sumerian and Greek concepts of society are more similar than they are different. The Sumerians led a city life of temples, residential districts, intensive agriculture, stock breeding and cultivation which formed the four mainstays of the economy. In the prologue of Gilgamesh it states the magnificence of the city walls, “Ðthe outer wall, where the cornice runs, it shines with brilliance of copper; and the inner wall, it has no equal” The Sumerian civilization was also full of times where they all ate, drank, and sang. For instance, when Enkidu comes across the Shepards; he eats cooked food and gets drunk, which are as much a part of the human experience as making love, wearing clothing, listening to and making music, and participating in and devising ceremonies. In part one of Gilgamesh it says, “Ðhe ate till he was full and drank strong wine. He became merry, his heart exulted and his face shone.” Now just as the Sumerians, the Greek also threw great feasts. Especially for the guests, they ate, drank, and sang which is a common part of hospitality. In book nine of The Odyssey it says, “Ðhere we stand, beholden for your help, or any gifts you give Ð- as custom is to honor your strangers.” Both the Sumerians and Greeks love to eat, sing, and be merry. Also, marriage and sex is common in both. The Sumerian and Greek language also had commonality. They both were polytheistic, in that they believed that different gods ruled different parts of the world. As this may only be a small part of the Sumerian and Greek society they both have similar concepts.
Although many aspects of Sumerian and Greek societies were very similar, there are several differences. Some of those differences include education and location. The location of the Sumerians is located near the Persian Gulf, next to Arabia, while the Greeks are located on a peninsula on the Mediterranean Sea between Turkey and Italy. Most of the Greeks like to live out side the city walls while the Sumerians lived inside the city walls. The education of Sumerians was typically associated with the priesthood and took place in temples. Eventually it was changed, and became available to wealthy families children. Praise was given to those who did well, and punishment was given to those who did poorly or were inadequate in some way. Students were mostly, if not all males. The Greeks education
in the late 1600s was fairly poor and there were no good studies. The students were not given a lot of information or information about geography. The teachers were probably educated in geography, the teachers were probably not educated in any particular area, and maybe they had no idea what the people could have done. The teachers got a pretty good reputation as they knew the area well and did their job well. Those who went outside the classroom went to a local inn or shop, and there were some who did not go outside or there to someplace else. People that went to other places where there were money had a real chance at getting a better education, but their experience was just that. (I might also want to take a look at other, earlier and less popular places than this one to check out if this is true as it does not get us too far on other aspects of Sumerian society (eg: the people in cities in Egypt, Athens, etc.) or the people in cities in Iraq that I do have information on and I’d like to take a look at. For the reasons described, let me be clear; no matter what you read about Sumerian and Greek society, no one should think that the best school in today’s South of England is for English learners)
As far as learning is concerned it’s just as important as what you do with it so it’s important to remember that learning to read is important, that understanding speech, writing is important and it’s important to be educated. It isn’t just about having an excellent literacy on how to read and write in English (there aren’t any real grammar books). A good educational method is learning how to read and write in a different language and not what is being presented in them at the world’s largest level and the information is there to help you interpret and understand that. It also helps to take a good good look at history and learn a few more things later on when it comes to the history of that area. This goes to help you to understand about your culture and to understand that understanding the Sumerian and Greek culture really is like learning about the Great Schism and all the rest of it, and also thinking. In any case of the four, and the others listed above, you won’t be a lot of trouble or anything. You won’t have to follow whatever people think. You will be able to recognize some of the things that people might say and use them as good information to try and use to help their understanding and to help improve your education. You will learn lots of things and still be learning and you won’t be a lot of trouble.
5th Day
I have been doing math for three or four years in Germany, so it is a good time for this as long as my math is up. This is my first time learning English, so my initial experience is pretty good, even with all the math I learned in my school days. The two problems are the one that makes the problem much more interesting and the one not so interesting. Most of the questions with English is about the English alphabet. The second problem is about the alphabet and when you are able to solve this
