The Continuation of Western Civilization- From Ancient Greece to the Modern World

The Continuation of Western Civilization- From Ancient Greece to the Modern World

I think that the idea of Western Civilization was invented by modern people who admired Ancient civilizations and wanted to claim a connection with them. For example, the Ancient civilizations in Rome and Greece contributed to the rise of Western Civilization due to the advancement of philosophy, government, art, architecture, and literature. Many regions began embracing Greek and Roman architecture to build cities and other buildings because they admired the architecture and wanted to connect with the two regions’ Ancient civilizations. For example, Roman and Greek architecture can be observed in the design of the United States Capital, thus demonstrating the connection between Western civilization and Greek and Rome Ancient civilizations.

The rise of urban centers in Ancient civilizations also led to Western Civilizations as regions in various parts admired the urban centers developed in Greece and Rome and how they expanded the economic growth and development in the two regions. Therefore, those who admired the growth of urban centers in Greece and Rome wanted a connection to the Ancient civilizations in the two regions, leading to the rise of Western Civilization that emphasized building urban caters to facilitate trade and interaction of people from different regions for economic development. For example, the United States has embraced the idea of developing urban centers as a hub for exchanging ideas and goods from other countries worldwide. Western Civilization also borrows many ideas from ancient civilizations, especially regarding ethical beliefs, thus suggesting that it was invented by modern people who admired Ancient civilizations and wanted to claim a connection to them. For example, modern people have embraced the ethical beliefs created by Greek philosophers, such as the beliefs on utilitarianism and virtue ethics, and use them to set moral codes in society, thus indicating that modern people admired the beliefs and used Western Civilization to spread them across different regions.

The scholars of the Renaissance believed they were breathing new life into the culture of the classical world. The underlying motivation of a “Western Civilization” course is to show the continuation of a common culture from the time of Ancient Greece and Rome (or earlier) to the present day. Do you agree? Is our modern culture a continuation of the traditions of the Ancient and Medieval World? Or do you think the idea of a shared tradition known as “Western Civilization” was invented by modern people, who admired Ancient civilizations and wanted to claim a connection to them?
