Ancient Rome PMI

Plus
The Romans had the best training, biggest budget, and finest equipment the world has every seen from their time.
Their military budget is larger than nine other countries put together
Romans bequeathed a format on how imperial business should be handled, and today the Americans in the United States are implementing the same tactics without fail
The Romans had great military strength, and the rest of the world undoubtedly knew their strength and consequently feared the Romans as well
Romans embraced their status as masters of the known world

Minus
The United States did not form any type of formal colonies
Both models of government and capitalism are based on the principles of progress through utilization of it's work force with the lure of the good life as an individual's goal
The fall of the Roman Empire occurred primarily due to a lack of foresight
The United States was founded on rebellion against another empire, the British Empire, in the name of freedom and self government
Few Americans would claim bragging rights on their own imperialism

Interesting
The fall of  the Roman Empire occurred primarily due to a lack of foresight
It is possible to rule by having others do the work for you, something similar to using a television remote control
Very similar to the Americanzation of today's world with McDonalds and Starbucks popping up in the most unlikely remote countries of the world.
The Internet began as a military tool, and arguably is one of the most superior inventions of our time, bringing whole nations together in mere nanoseconds.
During the Roman Empire the Romans had great military strength, and the rest of the world undoubtedly knew their strength and consequently feared the Romans as well.

What I thought about social class

I found social class ok. I liked the fact that we got to include technology within our learning. It was fun and easy to use, and it was a faster way of working. I liked that our projects involved different kinds of presentation technology things. And the projects that we did do were fun projects. However, I didn't like that we were given so many assignments at one time and were not really given a set due date. When we had finally gotten around to finishing the project and handed it in, it would say that it was late. I also felt that we spent a bit too long working on our ancient civilizations presentations and we got bored with it. Overall, I didn't hate social class, but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be.

Evaluation

An evaluation shows you where you excelled in the assignment,and it shows you the areas that you need to work on.  What a mark means to me is how well you did on the assignment or on a test. It shows you how well you understood the lesson, and the things that you got wrong because you didn't understand. What motivates me to learn is the thought of my future. If you don't do well or try in school, your future may not be the best. In order to have a good future you need to be educated and have good grades in order to be successful. I take away from the evaluation process the areas that I need to work on.
