  • The Fall of Rome and America

    2849 Words  | 6 Pages

    In ancient times, there was a country of stupendous power and might. A nation which amassed a military like no other, grew an economy so strong that it seemed everlasting, and established a government that stood for its people. It appeared that this was the country to set an example for all countries that followed. It was the behemoth of prosperity. It was the great Roman Empire. It seemed as though this country’s reign would never end, but this was far from the truth. For with great prosperity came a dreadful plummet and eventually collapse. This was the unfortunate fate of all powerful nations, including that of, dare it be said, the United States of America. The all powerful and unbeatable nation which reigned its dominant influence over the entire world. Surely, it could never have fallen. However, that statement would be considered nonsensical if directed toward the once almighty and all powerful Roman Empire. Thus, it could not be stated for the “Great Experiment” (USA). Which was why the comparison between the two, very similar, superpowers was logical. Clearly, the Roman Empire which had striking parallels to the United States was a foreshadowing of America’s fate: Inevitable collapse. Both superpowers had vastly similar economics, foreign influence, and government, of which, Rome had experienced an unfortunate decline. Thus, comparisons could be made between how Rome and America rose to power, began to lose their power, and eventually, how Rome fell and how America might have fallen.

    A civilization to me is people in an area coming together and learning how to work with one another. As they learned new things such as how to grow more food, and skills that will make their everyday lives easier the population starts to grow. The way people could advance in one skill gave them the opportunity to trade with each other for other goods, allowing them to become more urbanized. Every civilization is unique in it’s own way, each having cultural diversity in their music, art, and building styles.

    Ayahuasca is purgative, antihelmintic, and treats spiritual diseases. It is also used for divination for healing and contact with the spirit realm. Iboga is used as an aphrodisiac and stimulant to combat fatigue. It may also be used to treat opiate addictions. It disrupts addiction and reduces withdrawal symptoms. I do not think just anyone should be able to use these plants. The average person may become addicted to using these plants, or not know how much to take. I am open to these plants being used medically, but only by certified professionals at a medical facility. As for religious use, I am more skeptical. Anyone can say "Oh I want to use this plant for religious purposes". Once they get the plant, there's no way to guarantee that person

    Could you imagine life in the United States today without concepts like democracy, libraries, the alphabet, art, philosophy, mathematics and certain architectural features? (Anonemuss, 2010) Everyday life would be completely changed without these innovations as well as many others. So where did we get these ideas from first? Well it dates back to the Greeks and Romans. Many aspects of modern life have been influenced from their cultures, ideas and inventions. Then there is also the question whether classical Greece or classical Rome influenced the contemporary United States more. In my opinion Classical Greece has had more of an impact on our lives. In fact it had been stated that the Greeks are considered the first group of people from ancient civilization in which our society feels like they can connect and relate t. (Kreis, 2000)
