¨Being the Roman emperor had always been a particularly dangerous job, but during the tumultuous second and third centuries it nearly became a death sentence¨. This explains that the government had too much to handle and that the government couldn't control the whole empire because they are too busy handling other things in the Empire. ¨As the situation worsened, civic pride waned and many Roman citizens lost trust in their leadership¨. This explains that the Romans citizens lost their trust in their leadership because Roman was getting worse and worse and that they kept on losing the battles which means that they lose a lot of freedom. In conclusion, Roman Empire is a critical investigation because of the Government corruption and political instability because there was too much war and
The Romans were on one of the greatest people of all. They had power, wealth, and even a half of the world. They built one of the strongest and vast empire that world has ever seen. They came from nothing to something awesome. It started of as a city and ended up being one of the greatest empire of all. This essay is going to focus on the Roman Empire from the rise to the fall and the government, architecture, mythology, Family Structure, and Food of the Romans.
I gave the Roman government provide public services a A-. The Romans had a well working government when it came to providing public services. They built roads, post offices, and they had fire departments. The Romans created jobs by building new things they had pavers pave the roads and builders to build the post offices and fire departments. Another thing the Romans were good at was creating new things that made a big impact on their village. The Romans created a bath house where the Roman people would wash themselves by using a sponge on a stick in the bath house they also had toilets to use. The Romans invented a heating system by boiling water so it is hot and then putting it at the bottom of the house and use the steam to keep them warm
According to the author in Document E it states, “Taxes are very severe, unprincipled men inflict injuries on other, a wealthy lawbreaker is not punished for his injustice.” The government in Rome could not be trusted because they stole taxes from their citizens, and wealthy people could bribe their way out of trouble which wasn’t fair for the poor. Also in Document A it shows that 22 emperors were assassinated in just 50 years, also at one point they killed 5 emperors in just a year. From all of this information with the government stealing their money, wealthy people could bribe their way out of jail but the poor couldn’t, and 22 emperors were assassinated in 50
For many others, now including Rome, corruption of government has been a cause of its own downfall. In support, Document B relays that, “Although there were many disasters, which led to the loss of great cities, no one tried to restore breastplates and helmets to the infantry.” (Document B) When this issue that is declining the Empire can easily be solved, but no action is taken, is the ultimate sign of irresponsibility and corruption of the government. In agreement, Document B also states that, “Hosts of senators, bureaucrats, and clergymen were entitled to avoid the draft.” (Document B) By giving certain privilege to its own, the government displays a lack of support in their own nation. This lack of support is what causes Rome to lose key battles, and therefore contributes to the downfall of the empire. In endorsement, Document E explains that, “... taxes are very severe, and unprincipled men inflict injuries on others ...

In Document A, you can see how many emperors were killed in a 50 year period. This shows that the emperors were not in office long. Because of this, the people could not get used to a ruler. The rulers also were not able to get better, because they were commonly killed. In Document C, Michael Grant wrote “...weakness of the late Roman army were largely due to the eventual failure... to enforce regular conscription [draft of soldiers]. This shows that the government was corrupt and only wanted things for the rich and themselves. The rich people themselves did not want to go to war, but they wanted to keep their slaves, so they sent the middle class.
In conclusion, the fall of Rome should be thanked to weak militaries and unpredictable occurrences in nature. To recall, natural disasters had no warning signs, killing thousands of unknowing people, and reducing resources. In addition to an arrogant army that soon grew lazy, leading to loss of land, and spirit. From the start of Rome to its end, over a million people were killed because of these issues. No people equals, no
This paper is going to be about Rome, and how successful they were. Now Rome wasn’t just the best society for no reason. It took hard work from military to farming to government etc. the list could go on for forever. Their military was one of the best to ever walk the earth. They fought off invasions, won land back over from other countries, and even invaded countries their selves. They were probably one of the most feared armies ever. Now where can a strong army come from without a strong government? The answer is simple; not very far at all. The Romans ran on a republic government. That meant that the citizens elected their leaders, much like we do today. In a way Rome is almost exactly what we are today; same government, feared army, and we are falling apart around the same time that Rome did.
Ancient Rome used to be a good place, but because of economic problems,social problems, and military problems Ancient rome fell. One reason why Ancient Rome fell was because of economic problems. One economic problem was the government took gold out of coins, this isn’t good because instead of using money to get things, the Roman people used trading. Another economic problem was many people had to join the army, this isn’t good because a lot of people were forced to leave their jobs so there was no money and less things were being made. That’s why the economy was one of the reasons Ancient Rome fell. Another reason why Ancient Rome fell was because of social problems. One social problem was that most Rome citizens no longer paid their taxes,
Although I was keen on keeping a balanced budget, I tried to give the Romans ample opportunities to succeed (Wend). I implemented numerous reforms for the sake of bettering the lives of the Roman people (Woolf 364). Especially the people of the lower classes were positively affected by these reforms (Mills 391). Room for municipal expenditures allowed Rome to receive social programs (Wend). I exempted poorer families from paying a five percent inheritance tax (Wend). I also granted these very poor Romans allotments of land worth sixty million sesterces
This theory was both mentally and physically destructive to Rome. Every day, Roman citizens would spend their time in the Colosseum to watch other people fight and die. They saw the gladiators fight and kill for survival, and soon, no one thought there was any value in other lives - or anything wrong with murder. Due to this way of thinking, the streets were dangerous, as they were filled with violence. Another issue caused by the decline in morals and values was the difference between the rich and the poor. Upperclassmen would throw extravagant parties with equally extravagant amounts of food. In fact, those at such a party would eat until they became sick. And even when that happened, they would keep eating. Meanwhile, on the streets, those in the lower class would be starving to death. People were dying - in the Colosseum, on the streets, in the military - but no one cared. The decline in morals and values may be second, but it still was
Discuss your reasons for choosing to seek a BSW degree. During my teens as a young Hispanic male, I found myself accepting the negative stereotypes of Hispanics, and began associating with other Hispanic youth who had also accepted the negative stereotypes of Hispanics, and were involved in gangs, drugs, and criminal activity. As time went on several of these individuals including my closest childhood friend had passed away due to gang violence, and many more wound up incarcerated. I too had found myself in a juvenile detention center. In this painful time in my life while sitting in a center block cell with a steel door, I knew that it would later try and help youth to find alternative routes in life. In trying to make sense of these issues, I continued to wonder why nobody had ever attempted to reach out to my friends, or me but felt it was their place to tell us how bad we were. These thought followed me through my teens while living with my father, an immigrant from Honduras, who sold cocaine for a living. As the trials of life continued to play out, not only did I continue to question why nobody ever asked me how I was doing, or attempted to reach out to me, but I was also able to see the affects of drugs first
