What would be a good ancient greece research paper topic?
I have to do a research paper, and it has to be around 7 pages in length. I want it involving Ancient Greece or something like that. Rome could work also. But however, he said he wants the paper to have a controversial issue or something like that in it. I have it down to, something dealing with either alexander the great, the fall of rome, or something else. Does anyone have any good ideas of a type of paper i can write based on those topics? and to make sure it has a controversy surrounding it? thanks a ton if you can help.

It will depend on the topic that would interest you the most. It is also wide historical area spanning over millennium, so there is rich material to be covered. If you like history, you can describe the rise, peak,and decline of the Greek and Roman civilization. If you are purely interested in conquest and military history, you can write about expansion of the Roman Empire and how the treated the defeated nations. If you like art, you can research roman and greek architecture, sculpture, painting, mosaics, and buildings. If you looking for specific hard to find facts, like Romans in Ireland and Scotland, Justa Grata Honoria desire to merry Attila the Hun in exchange for having her freed from monastery, or life of numerous saints, like Augustus, Basil, or Jerome. You can also concentrate on well know fact as the love story of the Cleopatra, the life of Nero, Caracalla, and Constantine. Another interesting topic now mentioned often is decline and final defeat of Sparta, or war between Greece and Carthage over Sicily that eventually brought Rome for the first time with the conflict with this ancient power.

Rather than making it about a single person, how about the advantages and disadvantages of Greek democracy. Many people think that true democracy (rule by the people) is a good thing, but when everyone gets to vote on every issue, rather than having representatives of the people vote for them, strange things happen. For example, if 51% of the population of the United States thought that slavery was a good idea, the 14% of Americans that are African-Americans would be in a very bad situation because of majority rule. The laws of Greece were established by majority rule (male, land-owners, citizens). the evolution of representative government later in Greece and Rome set the pattern that would allow the United States to come into existence as a republican form of government. Without Greece or Rome there might not be the US. Just a suggestion that your teacher will eat up. Trust me on this!

Greece was shaken by a massive 24 hour general strike. In some sectors there was a total walk out, and in industry as a whole 70% of the workers came out. This is the answer of the Greek working class to the government’s severe austerity measures The crisis of Greek capitalism is clear for all to see. The bosses want draconian economic policies to be implemented, but the workers have already given more than they can afford to give. Bosses and workers are on a collision course as the call for a 24-hour general strike on February 24 clearly demonstrates Right now I would say not very well. Poor choices or no other way to turn is a debate they will have for a long time

Lets see. The Per Person income in Greece is: $30,661. The Per Person income in the US is: $46,443. Wow good point.... That is until you consider. That the U.S. has the 6th highest per person income. Norway haveing $53,269 per person at 3rd highest. [A county that is far more socialist then Greece] With Luxembourg above them at 78k [Also a "socialist nation] With Qatar above them at 87k [Not a socialist nation] As a matter of fact out of the two 20 nations. 6 of them are what you would call non socialist nations. So really the socialist bit has nothing to do with your wealth. Just your standard of living, witch the US is at 37th on the list. Behind EVERY other industrial nation with the exception of India and China.

you're as safe as most places. Be aware that foreigners can have a bad reputation in parts of Greece; if you are seen drunk with your neckline and hemline too close you could well get into trouble, same as anywhere. apart from that, don't flush the toilet paper, use the bin. And try to learn some Greek.
2 :
Here are some general 'street smart' kinds of things you should do while travelling. 1. Walk like you know where you're going. If you have to stop for directions or consult a map, try to duck into a store to do it. 2. NEVER accept an open drink from anyone. Ever. (Except a bartender/waiter who gives it to you directly.) Keep an eye on your drinks. 3. Carry money and valuables on your front. Don't carry them in a bag hanging on your back or in back pockets. Always keep your valuables in front of you. 4. Don't go anywhere alone with someone you don't know. It's fine to meet people somewhere public. But getting into a car with a stranger, walking down empty side streets, and that kind of thing ... it's asking for trouble. 5. When you're sitting somewhere (cafe or restaurant, internet cafe, etc) your purse, bag, camera, or whatever is safest if you wrap the strap around one of your legs. Don't drape them across your chair, or just leave them on the floor or chair next to you. I've been all over the world, and the only problem I have had was someone stealing a cell phone. In general, people are good, kind, and not at all interested in making your life difficult. But there are a few rotten apples out there.

It all depends from the place that you will work and live. Go and ask to the Greek embassy for information and tips!
