Greece in the 1930s
In this project learned that Greece was in a depression in 1930 and they were struggle just like the rest of the world. Greece struggled maybe even more than some parts of the world. I also learned about how the Greeks view life and what their gods mean to them. They see the world in a spiritual manner.
I can connect them to the world I see today with empowering women to work and in new fields of work as well. Due to the depression during that time in Greece, they were trying to get women to work in textiles and tapestry because families were struggling and work wasn't always guaranteed for the men. Nowadays we as a society are empowering women to work in fields such as S.T.E.M because not many women are represented in it. I think another connection is architecture. As you may know Greece is well know for there beautiful architecture and the way they develop and create buildings. I think that now we sort of imitate what the Greeks created back then in some buildings today. Sometimes you see the columns in houses and other special buildings.
I think my favorite artifact we created was the Greek News. I liked it because I was able to develop stories about what happened. I wrote a story about the Greek Olympic team not being able to go to the Olympics in LA due to money. I personally think I learned at lot economically about what was going on in Greece in 1930. I think this is because they were really focused on the depression and when something like that happens in a county it affects everyone and its what the country as a whole is mainly focused on. If I could change something I think I would change the options for artifacts. I saw that a lot of students did multiple wild card options because the other ones weren't that great. My group read The Greek Way and essentially the book was about the history of Greece starting from far before our decade and leading up to the 20th century. They speak a lot about what the greeks believed in and how they saw life. It focuses on Greek art, culture, and seeing the beauty within in. It relates to decade/location because speaks about Greece the country and is history up till right before the depression.
