roman culture
roman's were popular for their gladiator's
roman culture.net
Some gladiators were volunteers who risked their legal and social standing and their lives by appearing in the arena. Most were despised as slaves, schooled under harsh conditions, socially marginalized, and segregated even in death.
Irrespective of their origin, gladiators offered audiences an example of Rome's martial ethics and, in fighting or dying well, they could inspire admiration and popular acclaim. They were celebrated in high and low art, and their value as entertainers was commemorated in precious and commonplace objects throughout the Roman world.The roman's would come just to see people die in the arena.
chinas culture
chineis are known for there gods.
china news.com
Chinese religion was originally oriented to worshipping the supreme god Shang di during the Xia and Shang dynasties, with the king and diviners acting as priests and using the oricale bones . The Zhou dynasty oriented it to worshipping the broader concept of heaven. A large part of Chinese culture is based on the notion that a spiritual world exists. Countless methods of divination have helped answer questions, even serving as an alternate to medicine. Folklores have helped fill the gap for things that cannot be explained. There is often a blurred line between myth, religion and unexplained phenomenon.
persian culture
persian way.com
The Persians originally were nomadic, pastoral people in the western Iranian plateau and by 850 B.C.E. were calling themselves the Parsa and their constantly shifting territory Parsua. For the most part the early Persians had settled in the southwest Iranian plateau, bounded on the west by the Tigris River and on the south by the Persian Gulf which had become their heartland for the duration of the Achaemenid Empire. It was from this region that eventually Cyrus the Great (Cyrus II of Persia) would advance to defeat the Median, the Lydian, and the Babylonian Empires, opening the way for subsequent conquests into Egypt and Asia minor.
scotland
scotland news.net
Scotland retains Scots Law, its own unique legal system, based on Roman law, which combines features of both civil law and common law. The terms of union with England specified the retention of separate systems. The barristers called advocates, and the judges of the high court for civil cases are also the judges for the high court for criminal cases. Scots Law differs from England's common law system. Formerly, there were several regional law systems in Scotland, one of which was Udal Law (also called allodail or odal law) in Shetland and Orkney. This was a direct descendant of Old Norse Law, but was abolished in 1611 . Despite this, Scottish courts have acknowledged the supremacy of udal law in some property cases as recently as the 1990s. There is a movement to restore udal law to the islands as part of a devolution of power from Edinburgh to Shetland and Orkney. Various systems based on common Celtic Law also survived in the Highlands until the 1800s.

eco friends and animal facts
be a friend of the planet.Mother earth needs are help. if you don't help well i hope you don't mind living under water for the rest of you're life. so be eco nomical. save the trees.Use refurbished electronics. You can get refurbished electronics for a steal (they often sell for less than 50 percent of the retail price!), and before they're resold to the public, they go through an intense defect-testing process and the warranties usually remain intact. So you can save money and help reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills.Use kitchenware products made of recycled materials. Preserve uses items such as recycled Brita pitcher filters and empty yogurt containers to make their line of colorful kitchen gear. Since they're about the same price as regular kitchenware, it's a no-brainer
i'll be watching your progress as you go.

Joe Jonas and his girlfriend Ashley Greene were stopped by security teams at an airport in Abu Dhabi after the pop star accidentally packed a set of knives in his carry-on luggage.
The new couple was booked on a flight from the United Arab Emirates state to New York and after finding they had too many bags to check in, they opted to take another with them on the plane.
The new couple was booked on a flight from the United Arab Emirates state to New York and after finding they had too many bags to check in, they opted to take another with them on the plane.
However, the Jonas Brothers star forgot he had put a set of cheese knives in the bag, and they were soon stopped by airport officials. Greene feared they would be arrested for attempting to take blades on a plane, but the guards eventually let them go.
She tells George Lopez, "We had too many bags to check so we took one as a carry-on instead of checking it through security. We were going from the Middle East to New York so (there was) tons of security, tons of screening. We got through one actually, surprisingly enough, but at the second one they all of a sudden stopped and looked at us with these really stern faces and said, 'What is in your bag?'"
"I look at him and get flashbacks of this knife set we got; they were like cheese cutting knives. I look at Joe and said (sic), 'Did you leave those knives in your bag?'. He said, 'Whoopsies!' I said, 'Whoopsies doesn't cut it! We're going to get arrested!'"
Greene jokingly blamed the incident on Jonas, because the eager cook had bought the knives as a gift, adding, "This is all his fault!"
