In the days of the ancient Greeks there were many things in their way of life that.
Today it seems that morals, family values, and marriage are not much.
of a concern in todays lifestyle. The Greeks on the other hand, valued very highly things.
such as: social class, family and kinship, and marriage. These were the basic things to.
live by in ancient Greece, and are shown very strongly in their history.
Social- Pertaining to a society; living in communities. This is the definition of the.
work social. When adding the word class to it, it has a different yet similar meaning. The.
term social class refers the to a group of people that are bound together by a certain.
characteristic or trait. These social classes when talking about a few of them living.
together form a hierarchy. This means that one social class is higher up on the scale than.
another one. This is true in the ancient Greek society. .
In the Athenian society, all citizens that lived in Athens had the right and duty of.
governing their city. This was one of the first ever democratic governments in the world. .
This would lead one to believe that everyone in the city was of equal importance; but that.
was not the case, as many were still confined to their social classes. The aristocrats were.
among the top of the social classes. They were poets, and wealthy men who owned all.
the best land. Also they were the ones who would meet at the government to interrupt the.
laws. Thus making it difficult for the lower classes that were not educated to try to.
change laws or make new ones, because they were "not as educated."" Next on the social.
class hierarchy were the noble land owners. They owned most of the land that was left.
that the aristocracy did not own. Next were the farmers and peasants who controlled the.
last of the land. Often these farmers were bought out for their land, and the farmer and.
their family could be sold into slavery. The next class in the hierarchy is women.
