The strongest argument presented is source 6.2 because it shows you why they should come back to Greece and what will happen when the sculptures have been returned back to Greece. Another reason why I believe it’s the strongest is because it shows why it should be returned back to the original siting. The weakest one is Source 6.3 because it doesn’t have many reasons as to why the marbles should be kept in Britain. See if you can classify the various arguments presented in these two sources into any of the following categories: factual, legal, ethical or moral, specious, spurious. Justify your choices.
Explain the origins and activities of the Delian League The origins of the Delian League was to fight the Persians (offensive), to ensure that Greece was not attacked again. The League was slowly transformed into an Empire. The Delian League was established in 477BC. The aim of the League was ‘to compensate themselves for their losses by ravaging the territory of the King of Persia (Thucydides). De Ste Croix believes that the “prosklema” translated by traditional scholars such as Meiggs as simple “aims” actually had an imperialistic connotation, because prosklema was a “professional aim”.
This is a legal but unethical issue. From this we can conclude that compliance ethics expects only the bare minimum, and to be a more ethical organisation, value ethics should be emphasized. Weaver and Trevino (1999) also believe that value ethics would have more of an impact and last longer in the organisation. Next is how formal culture systems promote ethics. Formal ethical systems consist of factors such as leadership, code of ethics, reward systems, orientation, and training programs.
This is evident when Bulwer Lytton, author of ‘The last days of Pompeii’ had removed a skull he had discovered from Pompeii as a souvenir. Discussion between the display of bodies in Pompeii and Herculaneum has also increased due to the salting of certain sites within both Pompeii and Herculaneum. In 1768 a tableaux had been created from the remains of Pompeii aiming to fool an Austrian Emperor into believing in an apparent discovery made by archaeologists at the time. This is also seen in more recent displays such as in the House of Menander where Amedeo Maiuri between the years of 1920-1930 had constructed imaginative scenarios by salting the scene with evidence. However Estelle Lazer then rectifies this when she studies remains found within the area and discovers that the bones placed within the scene do not belong together.
The forum in which the dispute will be settled is also a vital consideration. Culture and ethics may play a big role in the decision of the forum. Possibly jurisdiction may be considered as well? What factors could work against CadMex’x…………………………………… “Dealing with foreign laws could pose a problem----we need to have someone with relevant expertise in Candorean law and extensive knowledge of international business. Why hose local laws, when there are well accepted international laws for such transactions”.
I will be exploring the social, moral and practical arguments for and against artefact repatriation, discussing the advantages and disadvantages, and explaining the situations of countries still seeking repatriation for example Egypt, Greece, and Italy. I personally believe artworks and artefacts belong to their country of origin, and repatriation is the moral thing to do. However, I also believe that there are also some very valid points that keep certain objects from being repatriated. For example, the country of origin may not protect the object as carefully as another would in a museum for instance, where it is taken proper care of. The countries which look after these artefacts may simply be wealthier and have better resources to protect and restore these historical artefacts, than their country of origin, and the main aim in general for everyone who cares for these historical objects, is to preserve these artefacts for future generations and to keep their history alive.
This Doric style temple was dedicated to the patron deity, Athena and also housed the Delian League’s treasury. It was produced of bright white Pentelic marble and inhibited carefully sculpted pediments, metopes, and friezes that depict scenes of Athena’s mythologies throughout the interior and exterior of the building. So, Iktinos, we know that you are the main architect for the Classical Parthenon, but, did you follow the basis of the previous Parthenon structure, Kallikrates’ created for the re-creation? Kallikrates’ design for the early Kimonian Parthenon definitely played a huge part in what we did in the rebuild. Although, it was burnt down during one of the Persian wars in 460 BCE and not fully finished to begin with, the columns, main platform with a little expansion, and drums that were used in the original were reused in the new temple.
When looking at the architecture of Ancient Greece and Rome, it is important to see where their influences and motivations are, and the direct relation to the cultural values of the respective societies. The ancient and original orders of architecture are the Doric, Ionic and Corinthian, which were invented by the Greeks, and adopted by the Romans. Their use of the classical orders on the surface appear very similar, but looking closer at the role of these structural elements within the building they are a part of, you see vast differences that take their roots from the definitive differences in the values of the Greeks to the values of the Romans. It could be said that the Greeks were the artists, the Romans were the engineers; now this is a rather broad statement, nothing is as black and white as that, but it very much so describes the difference in the styles. The Greek Doric order was the earliest of the classical orders, known from the 7th century BC and reaching its mature form in the 5th century BC.

Although the author was working as a police officer for the British Emperor, he strongly opposed the idea of Imperialism. His opposition is expressed throughout the story. I had already made up my mind that imperialism was an evil thing and the sooner I checked up my job and got out of it the better. Theoretically- and secretly, of course- I was all for the Burmese and all against their oppressors, the British.
