Which illustrates an important difference in the values of sparta and athens? a. sparta valued innovation and change while athens valued conserving what already existed. b. sparta preferred a culture that was free while athens preferred a culture where people obeyed orders. c. sparta valued the exchange of ideas while athens expected people to refrain from sharing opinions. d. sparta was conservative about change and the sharing of ideas while athens accepted change and new opinions.

The answer is D:
Spartan life was simple. The focus was on obedience and war. Slavery made this possible by freeing the young men from household and industrial duties and allowing them to focus on their military duties. Young boys were trained to be warriors; young girls were trained to be mothers of warriors.

Athenian life was a creative wonderland. As an Athenian, you could get a good education and could pursue any of several kinds of arts or sciences. You could serve in the army or navy, but you didn't have to. (This applied only to boys, however: Girls were restricted to other pursuits, not war or business or education.)

Yeah u should that's the right thing
