A similar view can be found in Strabo’s ethnography when he describes the tribe’s people of Gaul as barbaric and exotic due to their custom of hanging the decapitated heads of their enemies around their horses necks after a victorious battle (Strabo 12). Both Strabo and Ammianus insinuate that the tribes violent cultures result from their exotic customs and gruesome characteristics. These prejudice undertones are born out of the Roman value of mos maiorum (the way of the elders). The Romans avoided change and valued keeping old traditions and customs passed down from previous generations; to illustrate, Strabo and Ammianus were prejudice towards the lack of uniformity and continuity of the tribes peoples strange customs and differing characteristics. Prejudice is only one of the ways we can see Roman bias in these ethnographies.

Over the last century, the way the world shares information and communicates has been continuously evolving. Such milestones in the development of communication and media over the last one hundred years include traditional media such as the telephone, radio and television. “New technologies have developed so quickly that executives in traditional media companies often cannot retain control over their content.” (Lule 2017). However, with the recent forms of new media such as the creation of the internet in the 1980’s and more recently social media such as Facebook and YouTube information can now be shared and absorbed at accelerated rate.

Murder, promiscuity, cruelty, and vice were ever present during Caligula’s reign and he did not even spare the members of his own family. It was also rumored that he lavished gifts upon his prized horse, Incitatus, and wanted

It was March 17th in A.D 73, the day of the Liberalia, an annual festival that celebrates the liberty of Rome’s citizens and the Toga Virilis or the taking of the virile toga, which is an important milestone for all boys in Rome. This celebration is where boys mature into young men, and they’re togated. In Rome, half of the children die before they reach adulthood, so this is important for any young man including to my family and I. Two days exactly before the Toga Virilis or the taking of the virile toga, I met Maximus, an Epicurean, at the Forum Augustus. Maximus and I became acquaintances, he told me about his Epicurean life, and I learnt so much by just by conversing, his life was so different from mine, because I came from a Stoic family.

There are three types of meals in ancient Rome Ientaculum (which means breakfast) started with a glass of water and the ientaculum which at this

Dormice were considered a delicacy by the romans. Romans cooked dormouse on special occasions and it has been reported that

For much of ancient Rome’s history, the dietary trifecta consisting of “cereals, grapes, and olives” were mostly commonly consumed by the people of Rome. Evidence points towards dry legumes, also known as “pulses” being the staple of a poor man’s diet (Garnsey 15). Meat and fish were far from being commonly

During the Roman Empire people ate three times a day, at dawn, late morning and in the evening which was cena. Cena was the most important meal of the day which later on broke down to two parts, main course and dessert. For the Roman Empire there were four major food staples which were, cereals, vegetables, olive oil and wine. Romans were always trying to flavor their foods by making sauces, adding herbs or exotic spices. They had around 142 different spices that they used mostly coming from Asia. They also gained access to more spices during the 1st century CE when direct sea routes were opened up to Egypt and India. One of the Roman dish is the Carciofi, which is an artichoke stuffed with breadcrumbs, garlic, mint and parsley before it gets

In the unrelenting expansion of the Roman Empire, Caesar’s Commentarii de Bello Gallico accounts the engagements of the Gallic Wars, alongside his personal intrigue of Gallic people. Yet, this work makes use of and conveys anthropological reports of a people approaching subjugation by Rome, the Gauls. Furthermore, Asad’s “Introduction; Barlow’s “Noble Gauls and their other in Caesar 's Propaganda”; G. Boys-Stones’ “The Recovery of Primitive Wisdom in Early Stoicism; Feuchtwang’s “The Colonial Formation of British Social Anthropology”; and C. Kraus, "Bellum Gallcium," attests to the pedagogical function of such work. Therefore, I contend the Bellum Gallicum, presents as a didactic text―in regards to Caesar, who propels the Stoic theory of cultural maturation, informed by the pseudo-scientific principles of earlier philosophers, namely, Posidonius and Seneca the Younger. In addition, Caesar exploits the primal nature of Roman subjects to further both his and Rome 's agenda. Thereby, formulating a handbook, intended to instruct future administrators in conquering, governing, and accordingly, in empire building.

If you were one of the first people that lived in ancient Rome you would be living near the ocean, so the food that they ate was fish, shellfish, seaweed and wild figs. There were also people who had to farm and eat farmed foods. The farmed food they ate, where barley, bread and millet they also made olive oil and wine also known as the Mediterranean Triad If you were rich you can afford to buy and eat beef, pork, lamb, chicken, fish, dormice and snails. If you were poor you would mostly eat Mediterranean Triad, with vegetables like lentils and cucumbers, onions, garlic, and lettuce, and fruits like apples and figs, nuts, cheese and eggs. Some people ate different foods depending where they were in the city because if you didn’t live near the ocean you would not eat that much seafood. The ancient romans cooked their food in hearths and ovens. They cooked their food in certain spots of the city because they didn’t have kitchens in their own house. They had to share with their whole community. There were also vegetarians like gladiators, gladiators were big men who wore armor and weapons, trying to fight for their lives with a huge group of people watching in the Colosseum. Gladiators where vegetarian because the Romans did not want to waste their meat for people who would just get slid into pieces.

As of today, October 25, 2016, the baseball world series has started. Thousands upon thousands of eager baseball fans will tune in to watch the historic confrontation between the Chicago Cubs and the Cleveland Indians, and even more will watch the game on the internet or at a restaurant. Yet most people who watch the game will not fully appreciate what is happening behind the scenes, as hundreds of cameramen, directors, and other members of the TV crews work for days on end to provide the best experience for viewers. The whole of modern televised media relies on a host of different professions, most of which are completely absent from the mind of the average television viewer. Some jobs are more glamorous than

Mass media is a media intended for a large audience. It may take the form of broadcast media, as in the case of television and radio, or print media, like newspapers and magazines. Internet media can also attain mass media status, and many media outlets maintain a web presence to take advantage of the ready availability of Internet in many regions of the world. Some people also refer to it as the “mainstream media,” referencing the fact that it tends to stick to prominent stories which will be of interest to a general audience, sometimes ignoring controversial breaking news. Many people around the world rely on this form of media for news and entertainment, and globally, it is a huge industry.

Media has been a vital element to American entertainment since its commencement. This entertainment comes in all varieties, whether it is film, commercials, music or general consumer ads. Either way, they are all used to engage or encourage the reader or viewer to feel a certain way. Music has always been a catalyst for human beings since the first caveman started tapping his feet in a rhythmic pattern. Music can be used to express any feeling a person can have about any subject they might think about. It can be used to describe the ideals of an era or time frame; just look at music over the last one hundred plus years. No matter what, there is usually always some sort of symbolism or deeper meaning that the songwriter is trying to get to the listener. It’s no debate that the music we listen to today is most definitely not the music the generation our grandparents or even our parents listened to. The song “American Pie” by Don McLean, which released in 1971, is one of the most analyzed songs in American pop culture history (Shuck). Standing as a story all on its own, a simple analysis of the lyrics reveals allusions and metaphors in abundance. Analyzing these allusions and metaphors exposes many rhetorical devices used by McLean.
