So I started school last Tuesday. It was a little stressful the first week but it actually ended up not being that bad. I learned a lot and got all of my schoolwork done early. I am looking forward to the next 7 weeks of this class. One of the things I learned last week was about the Roman Empire and how they wiped out the middle class. They made the people depend on the government for food and housing and then the people in turn voted for those candidates who would promise the best things. This parallels so much with America right now. The government is trying to get us all to depend on them and then they can have what they want. This last election was also the same as what happened in the Roman Empire. People voted for the candidate that promised the best things. I thought is was so interesting how history can repeat itself thousands of years later.
