Foreign policy is important because it has a lot to do with the trade, technology, and communications of the United States. Also by nations working together global problems can be fixed easier. Equal rights are important to the U.S because it shows that everyone has the same rights including: black people, white people, Asian, men and woman, ect. A bad president would make the economy go down, not believe in equal rights and have a bad foreign policy. The best president in U.S history I believe is Abraham Lincoln.
Things like killing the ruler of Rome and throwing the whole empire into turmoil. For their argument they argued that because they loved Rome so much, that is why they had to kill Caesar because they could not have a ruler over Rome. Their forefathers had fought for the freedom and republic of Rome and they even killed a guy who tried to be ruler. Brutus and Cassius had the right idea in trying to protect the republic but they didn’t think it through enough and that is where their plan failed. Caesar was given a crown three times and the people wanted him to have it, but all three times he rejected it to look good in front of the people.
Through multiple problems of which Creon has no control, one feels sympathy and fear for him. Creon rules Thebes as a strong king who lays down the law and sticks to it. Creon sends out a harsh, but unbiased edict. He declares that Eteocles’s body will be honored with a burial, but Polynices will be left to rot. Creon prevents the people in Thebes to bury Polynices by saying that anyone who tries to bury him will be sentenced to death.
He even fixed prices so people could afford things, and the people of Rome loved Octavian. This eventually allowed the republic to turn into an empire and the people never protested because their lives were actually better now. Octavian began the Paxromana period, and had a very strong hold on the Mediterranean trade routes. He even had Roman stations all along the Silk Road. Culture traveled along the road, and religions like Buddhism and Christianity came about.
The 'Radical Democracy' came about when Athens became more democratic with the introduction of a system of changes that allowed greater participation from ordinary citizens. By 508-07 BC, Athens was under the influence of Kleisthenes. He introduced a series of political reforms which turned Athens in a much more dramatic direction. One of the main results of Cleisthenes' reforms was to reduce the power of the upper classes. He did this by introducing the deme system.
Their fathers had possession of them first and then were passed from them to their husbands. The husbands then gave them nothing more than the responsibilities of managing the household and educating the children. In a meeting with the Assembly, a rule could be accepted and formed into a law but once the conference of the assembly ended, the enforcement of that rule would have been up to the people who may not agrre with it. Also if speaker became too powerful in the assembly, then he could be forced to leave Athens if the most of the members voted on it. This law shows the flaw of Athens and its democracy based government because it infringed on the freedom of speech that most democracies have.
Our freedoms are what set American’s apart from other countries. For example, the amendment is a great example of what I mean. Americans like me have the opportunity to a good education and receive a good career apart from some countries. American people of all different races and religious can live and work together because everyone is allowed an equal opportunity. Americans are united we take pride in our country.
Although we liked that you did this, your actions caused a riot in Rue’s district and we had not other choice but to put down a couple of rioters. In the future remember the Capitol is always watching and listening. All in all, I think you did a marvelous job at winning The Hunger Games. You had some hard times, but you pulled through it all. Now you get to live the good life with you and your family.
