__**Influence from Greek Culture on today's America**__ We get a lot of different influences from the Greeks. From their ancient ways we took literature, art, music, math, architecture, warfare and many other things. One of the most important concepts we got from the Greeks was government. Today we use their idea of democracy on our government. It is a good fair way on how we as a people can accomplish things and get stuff done.

Government is the biggest influence Ancient Greece had on the current world. Democracy was created in Greece,which gave political right to citizens. That tradition has continued and today the people still have the power to elect.
