World Geo Wrap Up
Push Factors
-
Waste
Waste was a very big problem in Rome. It was a problem because there was trash everywhere, which is unhealthy on it's own, but it clogged sewers, making even more waste pile up, and diseases spread.
Weak Military
Since The military was so weak, Barbarian's were hired to protect the citys. This was bad because the barbarians sacked and destroyed the city.
-
Overpopulation
Overpopulation was a problem. It was a problem because since there was so much people, people started to starve, which leads to cannibalism of dead gladiators, causing sickness and disease.
Big Idea
What i could change
If i could change something in the Roman Empire, i'd change the fact that they wasted so much money on greedy emperors, and make it so that everything was an equal democracy.
The Solution
How i think Rome could solve this problem is to give food to the poor and don't be as greedy as they were. They also needed more soldiers, so they could of changed the size of their empire.
People Back Then
I can tell that the Romans were very selfish, because they didn't care about others when they were hungry and left to rot on the streets.
What Mattered
I think what mattered to the people of Rome is the following; Power and Food. I think this is what mattered because the emperors didn't care about their people, and ate all the food.
What I learned
What i learned was to not make your empire really big, if you have a small army.
Connections
I can connect starvation in Ancient Rome to starvation in america because they both have many people who are obese and many people who are starving and resort to cannibalism.
-
Equality
Equality in Ancient Rome and in America are similar. Poor people in both places don't get treated the same as middle class people.
Sewers
Rome was the first City to ever use a sewer. In fact, they invented it. Now, we have sewers everywhere. This is one why Rome contributed to the world.
Democracy
One way rome contributed to America is Democracy. Rome was a democracy and then eventually, so was America.
Homelessness
I can connect Homelessness in ancient Rome to homelessness to America. They both have a ton of homeless people.
Pull Factors
Entertainment
There was tons of entertainment in Rome. There was tons because of the Gladiator fights, chariot races and more.

Citizenship
I was very easy to become a citizen in Ancient Rome, Evan Rome's enemy, barbarians, became citizens.
