Detailed explanation-1: -Citizens of city-states put the needs of the city-states above their own. A citizen’s strong loyalty to his city-state enabled Greek to unify. The lack of unity among Greek city-states made Greece easier to conquer.
Detailed explanation-2: -Each city-state (polis) had its own personality, goals, laws and customs. Ancient Greeks were very loyal to their city-state. The city-states had many things in common. They all believed in the same gods.
Detailed explanation-3: -Greece is a collectivist society in the sense that there is strong loyalty shown to familial and social groups. The social life of many Greeks is usually kept to a close circle of family and friends. These personal relationships are deeply important to people’s day-to-day life.
Detailed explanation-4: -Greek city-states likely developed because of the physical geography of the Mediterranean region. The landscape features rocky, mountainous land and many islands. These physical barriers caused population centers to be relatively isolated from each other.
