Persia: Comparison To The United States

Abstract: 10 pages in length. The Persian Empire was established as a good and ethical civilization. It started with the humanitarian leadership of Cyrus the Great, who was instrumental in establishing free speech and a distinctive moral purity. As Persia evolved, it grew into itself through various influences, including that of the Muslim religion; however, its pledge to a stalwart consciousness remained firm. As a first class empire, it can be argued that Persia was a lot like the contemporary United States in that it possessed the freedoms and luxuries associated with the ideals of a refined nation. One could even attest to the fact that America borrowed much of its own cultivation from the Persians. The writer discusses how there is little evidence that today's Iran resembles the same refinement as the ancient Persian Empire maintained. Indeed, the Persian ideal has long since been abandoned by a society that chooses to operate on threats and terrorism rather than the ethical standards set down by Cyrus the Great. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
