What has Greece given us? Given?
philosophy
history
public policy and political economy
republicanism
democracy
town meetings
alphabets and literacy
some of our words such as television, telephone, map, drama, theme, mathematics, lema, gram, etc
Oh of course mathematics and sciences and the scientific inquiry process...
Oh and cooking. Greeks were some of the first epicureans and gourmets.

Greece gave us democracy, philosophy, history, literature, wine, and olive oil. Rome's myriad contributions have been lined properly by employing Kaiser, nonetheless i could upload the discovery of concrete, the form of countless engineering and metalurgical innovations, and the creation of the architectural dome.

Go study Socrates {through the texts of his student Platon, because Socrates himself never wrote anything} and your question will be resolved :)
p.s Ancient Greece has also invented gayness :)

Your question pertains to the modern Greeks' contributions I suspect rather than the well documented and written in literally thousands of books Ancient Greeks.
Well, if you were to investigate and research the contribution of the moderns, you would find exemplars in the Arts and the Sciences as well as the business world. One area you may consider in depth would be the near monopoly of Greek businessmen in the high seas. Greeks own and control the largest merchant marine fleet in the world and hence they greatly influence all merchantile action.
If your research paper is done in English or American, may I strongly recommend that you pay closer attention to spelling and grammar. I would fail you a priori just on those matters.

Souvlaki
Ouzo
Retsina

The Greeks gave us a basis for our modern civilization by implanting the first language we can understand, and paving the way for what we still use today.
I know it's not much, but you can do the research. Hope it helps!
