Identified as the birthplace of democracy, philosophy and the olympics, Greece, also known as the Hellenic Republic, is a country rich in history, culture, food and dances as there are over 4,000 different traditional dances. With over 6,000 different islands and 80% of the country covered in mountains, Greece contains an extremely diverse landscape attracting more tourists than there are citizens living in the country.
My friend Ariadne and I had an amazing discussion talking about her home country of Greece. Ariadne is a very driven teenager who wants to make a change in society. She briefly explained how she is trying to make a difference in the make-up industry by creating Earthlips, a woman owned company that creates high-quality sustainable, cruelty free lipstick with a vegan formula. We also discussed the social issues that are prevalent in Greece and about the power that technology has on society.
As Ariadne and I are both high school students, we even talked about how tiring a long school day can be and how comforting it is to arrive home and seeing your favorite food prepared, waiting for you at the table. Ariadne proposes that people must create more online campaigns and events in society to attract people and help them inform their friends about the causes we need to support, allowing peace to spread from person to person.
