How Is South America Different From Western Europe

On Document D it says, “The boys of sparta were lashed with whips during the entire day at the altar of Artemis Orthia. Frequently to the point of death.” The boys weren't allowed to eat either. They were starved and given a very minimal amount of food. They were encouraged to steal food to satisfy their hunger. But if they were caught while doing so, they were whipped. They also gave the boys one garment a year, and they

After an embarrassing defeat at the battle of Hysiai Sparta went through great military change, these changes dramatically changed all other areas of Spartan life, turning Sparta into a military focused state. This militaristic influence impacted greatly on Spartan education, essentially aiming to mass produce the perfect solider. The education and training of Spartan boys aged as young as 7 in the agoge became the crucial

To begin with Spartans lacked formal education.In Document D the text states,” [The Spartans] learned to read and write for purely practical: but all forms of education they banned from the country,”.Spartans were not aloud to read books or treatises. They could not travel outside of Sparta or have foreign teachers. They could not write, watch, or perform in plays. They never taught to have an opinion or think for themselves. Spartan’s only focus was on the military education which did not help their society survive.

Latin American main religion is the Roman Catholics along with other minority religions. They have many traditional holidays but a few of them are listed as Cinco de Mayo (Fifth of May), Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), and Mother’s Day. Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that celebrate the winning of the Mexican war, but most mistake it for the Mexican Independence Day. Dia de los Muertos is where their culture celebrates and show respect to the dead. They also celebrate Mother’s Day. Mother’s Day is a day they honor the mothers for all what they have done and still doing. Sports is a big deal in Latin America. Their popular sports are fútbol, baseball, and boxing. Fútbol in English means soccer and it is their main sport in Latin American. The food tells a lot about their cultural. Since families are so big they have to make food that can be spread to feed everyone, so some of their traditional dishes are tamales, tacos, and pupusas.

Young girls continued to stay at home until they were married. Few mother taught their kids to read and write. They also assist their mother at home. When they reached the of twelve or thirteen they are consider as an adult. When they get married they are expected to have babies and if they are NOT being able to bear children it was seen as a curse from the gods. Spartan women were taught reading and writing and skills to protect themselves in battle.

In military training both boys and girls were allowed to attend the training. They learned to wrestling, boxing, and footracing. As stated in History Alive, “the boys did military training in barracks a building where Spartan soldiers would live and train”.  In addition, the training was important to the Spartan’s because they needed to teach the boys to be prepared for upcoming wars and to win those wars. The boys were taught how to read and write but, the Spartan’s didn’t find that important. To be a brave soldier was very important to the Spartan’s. Therefore, being a brave soldier was important because the soldiers had to fight in wars to protect Sparta from invaders who want to destroy Sparta.

There are many aspects of Spartan culture that I feel were the most successful for the city-state. The most important aspect I feel the Spartans city-state had was their education. As shown in our History Alive books, Sparta didn’t focus on math, reading, or writing. Discipline and strength were what boys and girls were educated by. From age 7 all Spartan children were trained to fight. Some skills they learned were: wrestling, boxing, gymnastics and foot racing. All these sports helped the girls and boys get stronger and become more advanced for when fighting or in war. There were some differences on how boys were trained and educated. Until age 6 or 7, boys were taught by their mothers. When they were finally ready to learn how to

Sparta was one of the most well known city states in ancient Greece. Sparta focused on producing good soldiers. Every male citizen was apart of the Spartan army. Unhealthy babies were not accepted in Sparta if you were unhealthy they would be left to die at the Apothetae, a chasm by Mount Taygetus. If you were male at 7 years old you were to join the agoge, the states educational program. Spartan mothers would say “Son either with this or on this. They were referring to there shield as they would rather have there son die than come home defeated. They would live in the barracks with the other Spartan boys until they become 30. From 7 to 11 you get taught reading, writing, music and dancing, but there teachers are most concerned about physical improvement. Life was hard for them; there daily physical training included being barefoot and having only one piece of clothing. They would do this no matter what the weather was. Also there was never enough food but teachers encouraged students to steal food, if you got caught you would get in trouble not for stealing

Boys stayed with their mother until the age of 7, and then went off to military training, which would be a lifelong career. The education system based on creating the best soldiers was called Agoge (Brand, 2010). There boys lived in barracks and had to constantly find way of surviving the most brutal of the conditions, which included, lack of food, sleep hours restrictions, exposition to the elements and only one piece of clothing to wear yearly. Since food did not come easily, they had to find way to get them, which included going on hunts or stealing, the mostly worked in packs, and although stealing was encouraged, punishment would come for those that were caught. Training consisted of fighting each other shields and wooden swords provided by the Master, the one in charge of directing and overseeing the boys (Sutori.com, n.d.). Even though reading writing, dancing and singing were part of the Sparta education between the ages of 7-17 (British Museum, n.d.), it came as secondary for the purpose of communication, and had little to do with expansion of knowledge and creative thinking. During the ages 18-29 their were rigorously trained to be part of the standing army, and only after the age of 30, would they become full citizens and expected to marry. One interesting fact about Sparta boys and men, is that their were allowed, and even encouraged to be intimate with each other, not only because

"Uruguay is a small country on the southeastern coast of South America" (Wilkie 222). Uruguay's neighboring countries are Argentina and Brazil. Uruguay is about the same size as Washington State of the United States. The terrain of Uruguay is rolling plains and hills. The climate of Uruguay is mostly warm temperate (Uruguay World).

Sparta was heavily military based it was mandatory to serve. Athens had a different outlook as they were not as military based it was a choice the people had. Spartan boys were trained from a very young age to serve in the army although they were not allowed to fight, girls took part in all the training because fit ladies produced fit babies, who would fight. 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.

Although both city-states required military training of boys, Athenian boys were not subject to the physical rigors that Spartans were. At 7 years old, Spartan boys were taken from their mothers and enrolled in the Agoge, the intense state-sponsored military training which continued throughout their lives and emphasized physical prowess, duty, loyalty, and discipline (Andrews, 2013, para.4). Boys were often without food or clothing, and were taught cunning by being encouraged to hunt slaves (helot), or steal food. Being caught would result in beatings, while success would be rewarded. All facets of a Spartan's harsh training were meant to groom him

What makes Antarctica unique regarding human geography, is how humans influenced the continent. physical geography is far more significant than human appearance. Antarctica is a cold, frozen, and mostly empty land found at the South Pole of the earth.

If I could travel to any country in the southern hemisphere, it would be Chile since it has many regions with different temperatures and environments. Because of this variation, the average climate of Chile varies drastically throughout the year from higher monthly temperatures of 30℃ to low temperatures of 8℃, depending on the areas. This also causes the precipitation of Chile to fluctuate greatly, from 0.4 mm rain in one area while 65 mm in other areas. Interestingly, the most precipitation is in the mid-year as the temperature becomes colder, while the end and beginning of the year is warmer and has less rain, which is the exact opposite as it is here in California.

Both North and South Americas span across many latitudes. This means that they experience many different climates. North America is very wide and experiences continentality. South America is more narrow and does not experience the same level of continentality. Both Americas have rain shadow effect in their south west. They have desert areas created by this rain shadow. South America has a huge tropical area that North America does not experience, but South America does not have an arctic area like North America.
