Complete 2 pages APA formatted article: Comparison and Contrast between Egyptian and Greek History. 16th November Comparison and Contrast between Egyptian and Greek History Contrasts The ancient Greek had a form of art same as the ancient Egyptians. However, these two types of art differed in that Greek art was essentially meant to eliminate chaos and bring order to the environment. This was achieved by using materials such as rocks and noises and organizing them into meaningful and orderly pieces of art. For instance, Greek architects, sculptors and painters brought haphazard materials such as rocks into meaningful and attractive buildings, sculptures and paintings. Conversely, ancient Egyptians viewed art as a way to please their dead in the afterlife. Egyptian art was not meant for the living but the dead and it was mostly done in tombs. Some of Egyptians best artifacts were found in or near tombs (Bell).

The social organizations and governments of ancient Greeks and Egyptians differed. Ancient Egypt was ruled by dynasties such as the Old Kingdom Dynasty while Greeks had an aristocratic form of government. Ancient Greece was divided into provinces called polis. The few rich landowners, who owned slaves ruled their territories. The more slaves a land owner had, the more powerful they were (Finlay).

The form of literature between these two was also different since Greeks introduced vowels to the alphabetic system. This formed the basis for the modern day English language. The Egyptians developed their own form of writing which used pictures and symbols to communicate.

Greek were highly engaged in trade activities. This was favored by their easy access to the Mediterranean Sea which made it easy for them to import and export goods. This also facilitated slave trade as well as fishing activities that formed a major part of their economy. The Egyptians had a different type of economic system which relied on supply function. Producers of different commodities would deliver their produce to the ruling administration and temples. These commodities would then be distributed to other citizens on a need basis. Any surplus that was available after distribution would be supplied to neighboring states in exchange of commodities that were not available in the exporting state.

Comparisons

Greeks introduce vowels the alphabets. This formed the basis for modern day English. Egyptians created their own form of writing that used pictures and symbols. The basis for this literature was based on the type of art they had. Both used art to express themselves and different types of art was targeted a different recipients or audiences. It was through art that both Egyptians and Greeks had a traditional identity.

Both the ancient Egyptian and Greek cultures had polytheistic religious beliefs where they believed in many gods such as Amon-Ra. They also believed that some animals such as the ox and the crocodile were holy among Egyptians while goats and sheep were holy among the Greeks. Thy both believed that their relationship with their gods was based on exchanges and they would offer sacrifices. Usually the holy animals were offered sacrifices to the deities.

Both the Greek and Egyptians engaged in economic activities. It was through these activities that they were able to acquire commodities that were not available locally

I will pay for the following essay Advertising:the art of convincing people to spend money. The essay is to be 7 pages with three to five sources, with in-text citations and a reference page.

With ad spends always on ascent it is not difficult to understand why advertising businesses expect maximum Return on Investment (ROI) on their ad spends. Advertisers’ intention is to make their products/services appear very attractive to a broad consumer base. Advertising is not inherently sinister, but its practical application as of today makes it ethically dubious. In other words, the concept of marketing commodities in a consumer market had long drawn the criticism of ethicists. The fundamentally weak moral imperative of capitalist culture makes this outcome inevitable. As a result, marketing strategies in industrial societies have attracted flak and condemnation from the judicious members of society – the United Kingdom being no exception. Benjamin Disraeli bemoaned more than a century back “There are three kinds of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics.” (Edman, 2001, p.417) It would be apt to add advertising to this list, especially since the latter half of the twentieth century. In this view, “Advertising, like statistics, is recognized commonly as a medium where facts can be interpreted, twisted, and emphasized according to the advertiser’s needs. When business judgment and professional ethics fail to enforce reasonable standards, the courts may have to decide if advertisers have twisted the facts too far.” (Edman, 2001, p.417) There is a basic economic theory of consumer behaviour which says that consumers make rational choices – buying only products and services they want and shunning those that are unnecessary or overpriced. But a brief glance at the shelves of our department stores would reveal how fallacious this theory is. The fact of the matter is, to a large part, consumers are made to act irrationally, to buy products and services they don’t want and can’t afford. The boom in the credit card industry since the 1970s (across all advanced societies) is a testament to how people have accustomed themselves to living on debt. (Scott, 2004, p.187) Advertisers claim that their ad campaigns are designed to ‘educate’ the target audience about the advantages and benefits of a particular product. There is also the implicit assumption that the product thus promoted is essential to living a comfortable life. But both of these claims are usually untrue. Far from informing the public, ad campaigns mislead or misinform them. And it stands to reason that basic necessities of life need no promotion. For example, people will continue to buy wheat flour and other staple food items despite total lack of advertisement for the same. In this scenario, the theory that most advertisements are designed to sell products that people don’t need becomes evident. As for the theory that they pay with money they don’t have, one only needs to look at the frequency of economic depression and recession over the last four centuries. At the same time that globalization and free flow of capital took off across the world, the boom in credit card usage happened concurrently. This resulted in a society that runs perennially on debt. The global economic meltdown of 2008 was due to the collapse of sub-prime housing loans that were promoted aggressively in the years leading up to the crisis. (Mujtaba, 2005, p.60) Beyond the twin sins perpetuated by advertising – selling people things they don’t need and making them pay with money they don’t have – there is a more sinister side to the concept. A case in point is the drug Vioxx, which attracted several consumer lawsuits after being pitched for sale by Olympic gold medallist figure-skater Dorothy Hamill. In this
