The Diffrences Between Americans And Ancient Rome

I think that Americans are not different from the Romans who cheered at the coliseum because Americans still cheer when people get hurt, some people laugh at others when they trip or get hurt or something like that. People laugh at other peoples miseries, and that’s the same thing the Romans did at the coliseum.

Distractions in Rome and The United States

In the Roman Empire some of the distractions were Gladiator fights. These were fights that took place in the coliseum between prisoners, prisoners and exotic animals. This was for the entertainment for all of Rome. All fights were free and that allowed everyone to attend. In the U.S we have similar events such as Wrestling, boxing or any other sport. Especially wrestling and boxing you hope that some one gets hurt seriously. All those things are a distraction from every day problems. In Rome the Gladiator fights were a distraction as well.
