The civilization of Ancient Greece emerged into the light of world history in the 8th century BC. Normally it is regarded as coming to an end when Greece fell to the Romans, in 146 BC. However, major Greek, or “Hellenistic”, kingdoms lasted longer than this. As a culture, Greek civilization lasted longer still, continuing right to the end of the ancient world.
Phoenicia was an ancient civilization in Canaan which covered most of the western, coastal part of the fertile Crescent. Several major Phoenician cities were built on the coastline of the Mediterranean. It was an enterprising maritime trading culture that spread across the Mediterranean from 1550 BCE to 300 BCE.

Since Islam originated and has developed in an Arab culture, other cultures which have adopted Islam have tended to be influenced by Arab customs. Thus Arab Muslim societies and other Muslims have cultural affinities, though every society has preserved its distinguishing characteristics. Islamic culture inherited an Arab culture born in the desert, simple but by no means simplistic. It has an oral tradition based on the transmission of culture through poetry and narrative. However, it has been the written record that has had the greatest impact on civilization. Islam civilization is based on the value of education, which both the Qur'an and the Prophet stressed.
One of the distinctive features of the Islamic tradition is its rapid expansion into a large and diverse civilization, soon becoming divided into several centers of political authority. Although the Prophet’s activities were mostly limited to the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant, after his death the first four “Rightly Guided” caliphs sent armies to conquer Syria, Egypt, Iraq and parts of Persia, which were then within the declining Byzantine and Persian empires.
Carthage was a Phoenician state that included, during the 7th–3rd centuries BC, its wider sphere of influence known as the Carthaginian Empire. The empire extended over much of the coast of Northwest Africa as well as encompassing substantial parts of coastal Iberia and the islands of the western Mediterranean Sea.
The Kingdom of Carthage was the major power in the western Mediterranean from its establishment by the semi-legendary Queen Dido in 814 B.C. until its fall following its struggles against the rising Roman Republic. Carthage was one of the great trading powers of the Mediterranean and had relatively few rivals until its fall from grace, namely the Etruscans and the Greek city-states of Sicily and Cyrenaica. Much of Carthage's foreign policy depended on maintaining its mercantile dominance and expanding its control over island territories with which it could base its powerful navies and trade fleet.
The Phoenicians were the great mariners of the ancient world, and their thalassocracy (maritime realm) was organized into city-states. It is important to understand there was never a country or empire called “Phoenicia.” A possible origin of the historical name for this Semitic/Canaanite culture might have come from the ancient Greek Φοινίκη (Phoiníkē) meaning “Purple Land.” That is because the Phoenicians were famous in their own time for their dark purple dye—a rare and prized commodity. Inhabitants of the Phoenician city-states along the Eastern Mediterranean coast (like Sidon and Tyre) might have called themselves Kenaani (Canaanites).
With the coming of the new millenuim, the entire world has entered the globalized age, which is characterized by the US global power leading the world after the fall of the ex- USSR. The emergence of globaization rose several questions about the role of the US: Is it acting in favor preserving the world cultures, or trying to model the world according to the US Western and liberal values? This; in fact, has paved the way to rise of such theories, expliaing that the US has enetered a new phase of conflict which is basically cutural in order to survive and promote its cultural values.
The Bush era has seen remarkable change in the US foreign policy. After 9/ 11 attacks, President Bush (the son) initiated the Bush Doctrine and started his war on terror which had such implications as the invasion of Afghanistan in 2011, and the invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Globally, educational systems are adopting new technologies to integrate ICT in the teaching and learning process, to prepare students with the knowledge and skills they need in their subject matter. In this way the teaching profession is evolving from teacher-centered to student-centered learning environments. ICT integration is understood as the usage of technology seamlessly for educational processes like transacting curricular content and students working on technology to do authentic tasks. Nowadays ICT facilitate not only the delivery of lessons but also the learning process itself. This includes computer based technologies, digital imaging, the internet, file servers, data storage devices, network infrastructure, desktops, laptops and broadcasting technologies namely radio and television, and telephone which are used as instructional tools at schools.

Reagan's 1980 election resulted from a dramatic conservative shift to the right in American politics, including a loss of confidence in liberal, New Deal, and Great Society programs and priorities that had dominated the national agenda since the 1930s.
Domestically, the Reagan administration enacted a major tax cut, sought to cut non-military spending, and eliminated federal regulations. The administration's economic policies, known as "Reaganomics", were inspired by supply-side economics. The combination of tax cuts and an increase in defense spending led to budget deficits, and the federal debt increased significantly during Reagan's tenure. Reagan signed the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (which simplified the tax code by reducing rates and removing several tax breaks) and the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986. Reagan also appointed more federal judges than any other president, including four Supreme Court Justices.
Reagan's foreign policy stance was resolutely anti-communist; its plan of action, known as the Reagan Doctrine, sought to roll back the global influence of the Soviet Union in an attempt to end the Cold War. Under this doctrine, the Reagan administration initiated a massive buildup of the United States military; promoted new technologies such as missile defense systems; and, in 1983, undertook an invasion of Grenada, the first major overseas action by U.S. troops since the end of the Vietnam War. The administration also created controversy by granting aid to paramilitary forces seeking to overthrow leftist governments, particularly in war-torn Central America and Afghanistan. Specifically, the Reagan administration engaged in covert arms sales to Iran to fund Contra rebels in Nicaragua that were fighting to overthrow their nation's socialist government; the resulting scandal led to the conviction or resignation of several administration officials. During Reagan's second term, he sought closer relations with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, and the two leaders signed a major arms control agreement known as the INF Treaty.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

4. INTRODUCTION
Ancient Greece was a civilization that dominated much
of the Mediterranean thousands of years ago.
At its peak under Alexander the Great, Ancient Greece
ruled much of Europe and Western Asia.
The Greeks came before the Romans and much of the
Roman culture was influenced by the Greeks.
Ancient Greece formed the foundation of much of
Western culture today.
Government, philosophy, science, mathematics, art,
literature, and even sports was impacted by the
Ancient Greeks.
Greece was one of the most important places in the
ancient world.
The Greeks were great thinkers, warriors, writers,
actors, athletes, artists, architects, and politicians.
The Greeks called themselves Hellenes and their land
was Hellas.
The name ‘Greeks’ was given to the people of Greece
7. Ancient Greece: A mountainous peninsula, 2,000 islands in the
Aegean and Ionian seas.
The region’s physical geography directly shaped Greek traditions
and customs.
The Sea shaped Greek civilization: The Greeks did not live on a
land but around a sea.
The Aegean Sea, the Ionian Sea, and the neighboring Black Sea
were important transportation routes for the Greek people.
As the Greeks became skilled sailors, sea travel connected Greece
with other societies.
Sea travel and trade were also important because Greece lacked
natural resources, such as timber, precious metals, and usable
farmland.
The Land: Rugged mountains covered about three-fourths of
ancient Greece.
The mountain chains ran from northwest to southeast along the
Balkan
Peninsula.
Mountains divided the land into a number of different region:
Significant influence on politics.
Instead of a single government, the Greeks developed small,
independent communities within each little valley and its
surrounding mountains.

12. The small streams that watered the valleys were
not suitable for large-scale irrigation projects.
With so little fertile farmland, Greece was never
able to support a large population.
No more than a few million people lived in ancient
Greece.
A desire for more living space, grassland for
raising livestock, and adequate farmland may have
been factors that motivated the Greeks to seek
new sites for colonies.
The Climate was the third important
environmental influence on Greek civilization.
Greece has a varied climate, with temperatures
averaging 48 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter and
80 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer.
In ancient times, these moderate temperatures
supported an outdoor life for many Greek citizens.
Men spent much of their leisure time at outdoor
13. History
Archaic Period: This period ran from the start
of Greek civilization in 800 BC to the
introduction of Democracy in 508 BC.
The Olympic Games; Homer's writing of the
Odyssey and the Illiad.
Classical Period: This is the time that most of
us think of Ancient Greece.
Athens was governed by a democracy and
great philosophers like Socrates and Plato
arose.
The wars between Sparta and Athens were
during this time.
This period ended with the rise of Alexander
the Great in 323 BC.
Hellenistic Period: The Hellenistic period
14. The Minoans lived
on the island of
Crete from about
3000 to 1100 BC.
Because of their
location, they were
excellent traders
The Minoans
15. A large wave of Indo- Europeans migrated
from the Eurasian steppes to Europe,
India, and Southwest Asia.
Around 2000 B.C.: The Mycenaeans,
Mycenae.
After the Mycenaeans defeated the
Minoans, the culture of the islands
blended with mainland Greek culture.
1400 B.C.: The Mycenaeans controlled
trade, spoke an early form of Greek, and
used writing.
The Trojan War: (During the 1200’s B.C.):
The Mycenaeans fought a ten-year war
The Mycenaeans
18. Greek Culture Declines Under
the Dorians Not long after the Trojan War, Mycenaean
civilization collapsed.
Around 1200 B.C.: Sea raiders attacked and
burned many Mycenaean cities: The Dorians
The Dorians spoke a dialect of Greek.
The Dorians were far less advanced than the
Mycenaeans.
The economy collapsed and trade eventually came
to a standstill soon after their arrival.
The Greeks lost the art of writing during the
Dorian Age.
Epics of Homer: Lacking writing, the Greeks of
this time learned about their history through the
spoken word.
The greatest storyteller was a blind man named
Homer.

20. Soon after the Trojan
War, civilization in
Greece collapsed.
People no longer traded
for food and other goods
beyond Greece and
poverty was everywhere.
The Dark Ages took place
The Dark Ages of Greece
21. Rule and Order in Greek
City-States 750 BC: The Greeks began sending out colonies in
all directions, settling the coasts and islands of the
Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea.
600 BC: Greek city-states could be found: From the
coasts of Spain in the west to Cyprus in the east,
and as far north as present- day Ukraine and
Russia and as far south as the Egypt and Libya.
The rise of city- states:
The city- state (polis): The fundamental political
unit in ancient
Greece.
A polis was made up of a city and its surrounding
countryside, which included numerous villages.
Most city- states controlled between 50 and 500
square miles of territory.
They were often home to fewer than 10,000
residents.
22. Greek Political Structures:
Greek city-states had many different forms of
government.
In some, a single person, called a king, ruled in a
government called a monarchy.
Aristocracy, a government ruled by a small group of
noble, landowning families.
These very rich families often gained political power after
serving in a king’s military cavalry.
Later, as trade expanded, a new class of wealthy
merchants and artisans emerged in some cities.
When these groups became dissatisfied with aristocratic
rule, they sometimes took power or shared it with the
nobility.
They formed an oligarchy, a government ruled by a few
powerful people.
In many city-states, powerful individuals, nobles or other
wealthy citizens, sometimes seized control of the
government by appealing to the common people for
support.
23. Athens Builds a Limited
Democracy The idea of representative government began to take root in some
city-states, particularly Athens.
Athenians avoided major political upheavals by making timely
reforms.
Athenian reformers moved toward democracy, rule by the
people.
In Athens, citizens participated directly in political decision
making.
The first step toward democracy came when a nobleman named
Draco took power.
621 B.C.: Draco developed a legal code based on the idea that all
Athenians, rich and poor, were equal under the law.
Draco’s code dealt very harshly with criminals, making death the
punishment for practically every crime.
It also upheld such practices as debt slavery, in which debtors
worked as
slaves to repay their debts.
594 B.C.: Solon made far- reaching democratic reforms:
No citizen should own another citizen,
Solon outlawed debt slavery.
He organized all Athenian citizens into four social classes
24. 500 B.C.: Cleisthenes introduced further
reforms.
He broke up the power of the nobility by
organizing citizens into ten groups based on
where they lived rather than on their wealth.
He also increased the power of the assembly by
allowing all citizens to submit laws for debate
and passage.
Cleisthenes then created the Council of Five
Hundred which proposed laws and counseled
the assembly.
Council members were chosen at random.
The reforms of Cleisthenes allowed Athenian
citizens to participate in a limited democracy.
However, citizenship was restricted to a relatively
small number of Athenians.
Only free adult male property owners born in
25. Direct participation was the key to Athenian
democracy.
In the Assembly, every male citizen was not only
entitled to attend as often as he pleased but also
had the right to debate, offer amendments, and vote
on proposals.
Every man had a say in whether to declare war or
stay in peace.
Basically any thing that required a government
decision, all male citizens were allowed to
participate in.
26. Agriculture
The Greeks were primarily an agricultural
people: They practiced the agriculture of the
ancient Mediterranean region, involving the
cultivation of grains, vines and olives, and the
keeping of sheep, goat and cattle.
Farms were very small– mere plots of land of
a few acres.
Aristocrats and other landowners would own
larger farms, worked by slaves.
The main challenge facing Greek farmers was
that there was too little good farming land in
Greece and the Aegean Sea.
This forced them to take to sea-borne trade.
They were a source of the social tensions
between rich and poor which led, in Athens,
27. Trade Many Greek city-states were located by the sea.
From an early stage in their history, therefore, many Greeks looked
to the sea for their livelihood.
For a period of about 150 years after 750 BC, many city-states sent
out groups of their citizens to found colonies on distant shores of the
Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea.
These established strong trading ties with their mother city.
Athens, the largest Greek city-state of all, was only able to feed her
large population through trade.
The poor soil of Attica was ideal for growing olives on, and so from
an early date the Athenians concentrated on growing olives for
export. They imported almost all their grain from other states.
The Athenians built up a large merchant fleet, and their city became
the leading commercial center of Greece.
At the height of its glory, almost a third of its population may have
been made up of “alien” businessmen and their households, mostly
Greeks from other cities.
The wealth that this commerce brought Athens enabled it to become
the leading city of Greece, both in politics and culture.
Athens also became the major banker to the Greek world.
In the fifth century BC the Athenian coinage became the
international currency of the Mediterranean.
29. Religion The Greeks worshipped a pantheon of gods and
goddesses, headed by the chief of the gods, Zeus. Other
gods included Hera, Zeus’s wife; Athena, goddess of
wisdom and learning; Apollo, god of music and culture;
Aphrodite, goddess of love; Dionysus, god of wine;
Hades, god of the underworld; and Diana, goddess of the
hunt.
Each city-state had its own festivals.
The most famous of these were the Olympic games, held
in honor of Zeus every four years (starting traditionally
in 776 BC).
There were much fewer events than in a modern
Olympics, and there were competitions in music and
poetry as well as in athletics.
The winner of an Olympic event was awarded an olive
wreath and won great honor in his home city.
The Greeks often consulted oracles– priests or
priestesses at certain shrines who uttered messages
from the gods.
30. Education Most Greek cities did not have publicly-funded schools.
Education was a private affair.
Wealthy families would put a boy under the care of a slave who
would accompany him everywhere. The boy would attend a small
school run by a private teacher, who would have a few pupils in
his charge. Here, the boy would learn to read and write, and do
arithmetic. Later, they learned to sing and play music.
After the age of 12 boys focused on physical education. They
trained in such sports as the throwing the discus and javelin,
running and wrestling.
Some wealthy families would also have their girls educated. They
would be taught to read, write, and play music; and they were
also given also some physical education.
After school, older boys underwent military training. The family
bought armour and weapons for them, and the young men
learnt how to fight effectively in military camps. From this age
they were expected to serve in the state’s army, if needed.
For boys from wealthy families, training in public speaking
would round off their education. In Athens, some of the first
higher education institutions recorded in history were founded:
Plato’s Academy and Aristotle’s Lycaeum. Here, courses
31. Culture
Literature
Homer: The Iliad and the Odyssey were composed around 750
BC in oral form before being written.
Hesiod (7th century BC):“Works and Days” portrays the tough
life of an ordinary farmer;
Sappho (6th century BC)
Pindar (late 6th century – early 5th century BC).
The Greeks were the first to pioneer the art form of drama: This
had its origins in the dances and songs of sacred rites, and was
always associated with religious festivals.
Greek drama included both tragedy and comedy: It reached
maturity in 5th century Athens.
Aeschylus (525-456 BC) reduced the importance of the chorus,
and increased the role of individual actors and dialogue.
Sophocles (496-406 BC)
Euripides (484-406 BC) used dialogue to portray deep human
emotions.
The Greeks also pioneered the writing of history as not merely
the chronicling of events, but in striving for accuracy, objectivity
and meaning in their accounts.
Herodotus (c. 485-425 BC) is known the “father of history”, and
32. Art, Architecture, Sculpture,
and Painting Greek architecture is known for its grace
and simplicity.
The finest buildings the Greeks erected were
their temples; and the most famous of these
is the Parthenon, in Athens.
The centre of each temple was space known
as the “cella”, the statue of the god.
In front of the cella was the porch, and both
porch and cella were surrounded by a
colonnade of columns. Each column was
topped by a “capitals”, a carved block of
stone. On top of these rested the
“entablature”, a band of carved stone on
which, in turn, rested the roof.

Hellenistic influence?

38. Philosophy
The earliest school of Greek philosophers were those of the
Ionian tradition (7th-5th centuries BC).
Ionia was in what is today western Turkey, and it is tempting
to see the influence of the ancient Middle East on their work.
The Pythagoreans were another group of early Greek
thinkers (6th-5th century BC). They formed a curious
combination of philosophical school and religious
brotherhood. They believed that all things could be explained
by numbers.
By the 5th century, Greek thinkers such as Parmenedes
(c.504-456 BC) were advocating the idea that reason is the
best way to reaching truth.
The Sophists – “teachers of wisdom” – were travelling
teachers prominent in the 5th century. They preferred to
study man and worldly problems rather than speculate
about universal truths. In fact, some claimed that truths
were only meaningful when placed in a particular context,
and seen from a particular point of view. They rejected the
notion of the supernatural and universal standards of
39. Mathematics and Science
For the Greeks, science was indistinguishable from philosophy
Thales of Miletus is usually regarded as the first prominent Greek
mathematician, and he is credited with developing the
methodologies of observation, experimentation and deduction.
Thales’ younger contemporaries, Pythagoras and his school,
developed geometry as a branch of knowledge. They uncovered
Pythagoras’ theorem, that the sum of any three angles of a triangle
is equal to two right angles.
In medicine, the Greeks dissected animals to refine their ideas on
anatomy. They located the optic nerve and recognized the brain as
the locus of thought. They discovered that blood flows to and from
the heart.
Hippocrates (c.460-377 BC) argued that diseases had natural
causes, and that they therefore could be treated by natural means.
He advocated rest, proper diet, and exercise for a healthy life; he
knew the uses of many drugs, and he helped improve surgical
practices.
In astronomy, the first three-dimensional models to explain the
apparent motion of the planets were developed in the 4th century
BC.
Aristotle advanced the scientific method by his insistence on
