In this paper I am going to write about Greek Americans. My paper will include detail about Greek Americans such as residence and housing, date and place of origin, economic activities, education, kinship, traditions and religion as well as their future in the United States.
The ancient Greeks contributed much to Western civilizations. They made contributions with architecture and government. Ancient Greece's philosophers and mathematicians have made contributions to western civilizations. The art and drama of Greece also affected western civilizations. The Ancient Greece culture has made many contributions to western civilizations.
The Greek Americans have a history of existence dating back to the 6000 BC. The period between 1880 to 1910 had a lot of significant effect on the art elements in the American history; the elements and artifacts used during this period have extensive descriptions of the culture and general way of lives of these countrymen on the American continent. The various stereotypes and social order of communities differ from one geographical region to another including the native languages, perception of different elements in social activities. Styles of dressing, cooking, initiation programs and stages are all items that the Greek Americans just like any other community from the early days had core values
There are many traditions and values that the people of Ancient Greece followed very closely. These acts, such as, hospitality and respect for one’s peers are usually overlooked by gods and goddesses. The people are expected follow these traditions or they may feel wrath from a god or goddess.
Therefore, the Greeks contributed to Western Civilization in many ways. They contributed with great minds like Archimedes and Euclid with math and physics.

First, and clearly the most obvious, is that it is part of the scenes that shows the Ancient Greek tradition of hospitality. Banquets and feasts occur during weddings and arrivals or departures, and these offer hosts the opportunity to show off their hospitality, wealth and social status. Many scenes, like the one at the banquet of Helen and Menelaus, are described in gorgeous detail and describe the luxurious food that is eaten and the silver bowls that the food is eaten off of. Although the next meaning is more hidden, food’s second function in this epic poem is as a symbol of temptation. For the hungry, tired, and homesick men accompanying Odysseus, the image of a plain plate of bread or cheese is plenty of temptation. When this transpires, at the cave of the Cyclops, the punishment is immediate. For Odysseus himself, however, his strength and god-like nature are beyond such base temptations and he is instead susceptible to the double-temptation of exotic and richly described foods coupled with a woman. While having a delayed journey back to his wife and estate punishes Odysseus, this is relatively minor compared to fates of others who were punished for their submission to the temptation of food by death. Odysseus sanctions the final punishment for gluttony, temptation, and sloth on the suitors living off of his land and livestock and so the theme of food images, temptation, and punishment is seen through
For most of it’s history, ancient Greece was composed of small city-states, that had little economic opportunity and prosperity, and could barely sustain a functioning government. Additionally, many Greek people were not confined to one region, and were spread out all across the western world(Ionian-Greeks, Mycenaeans). In spite of this, many city-states and Greek people had a great sense of identity, pride and communality. The binding force between these unrelated city-states was the belief in Hellenic culture/Greek customs. All Greeks believed in Hellenism, and it is one of the things that defined them as Greeks. In small Greek communities and City-states, Greek customs were the biggest legislative force. The most notable Greek city-states

When you think of Ancient Greek culture and Modern American culture you wouldn’t automatically assume that they share very many things. When you think of Ancient Greece you may think of togas and Mount Olympus, but by defaulting to these things one overlooks the more important things that Greece gave the world, and America in particular.
Life in Greece in ancient times would remind you of your own life in many ways. There was school, family, athletic competition, and social gatherings. Knowing that participants in their sporting events competed nude or that you rarely knew your husband/wife until the wedding day does however, make you grateful for the society that you live in today.
It is always important to look to the past in order to move towards the future. This was done in the formation of Western Society, and more specifically the formation of American society. The Greek culture served as a frame of reference for many aspects of Western life including government, architecture, math and the arts. Ancient Greek culture served as a very broad base for our society to be built upon.
