W. H. Auden once stated, “If Greek civilization had never existed, we would have never become fully conscious, which is to say that we would never have become, for better or worse, fully human.” This statement may be an exaggeration, but it is true that the contributions of ancient Greek philosophy radically shaped the world in the era in which it was prevalent (approximately 400-150 BCE), and with the expansion and blending of cultures throughout history, our society and systems of thought…

Many different civilizations have impacted history throughout time. The most evolutionary times of these civilizations were between 600 B.C. and A.D. 1200 when they began to organize institutions and characteristics. These “defining and long lasting civilization patterns shaped by belief systems, including philosophies and religions, can be understood as classicism.” The base of classicism can also be seen as the expansion of societies into civilizations.

industry (2). As explained by Veblen, this distinction between classes has been one of historic development in which an invidious comparison has grown and evolved to draw a strict line between members of the upper and lower classes (16). As actors in the polis are drawn apart, their interactions then begin to take on an exploitive character in which those that guide industry seek to exploit those that man industry. The showing of dominance in this act of guiding is given a level of envied esteem…

Engineers do what they can to uphold the high reputation of being an engineer.
