Rome and U.S.

Rome and U.S.
Have you ever wondered how similar the U.S. and Rome really are? Are they so similar that the U.S. may follow in Rome's footsteps by falling? How would the fall of the U.S. affect our country, and what kind of civilization would it become? You will probably be surprised by the answer.
            How is the U.S. like Rome? Well, first you should know about the book "Are We Rome." This book compares how President George Bush and Emperor Diocletion control their country. Both men have respective foreign policies. George and Diocletion both speak in a sweeping vocabulary of those who do cosmic rearrangements describing the actions they both see in a battle of their generation. They both act with equal boldness, on the same grand scale. Not only could our country be the same, but are presidents too. Rome and the U.S. have been very open to newcomers. Newcomers in Rome and in the U.S. now are bringing in new languages and different cultures. The languages benefited the countries in some ways like, helping with importing and exporting goods, creating more jobs for people who speak different languages, and just becoming a better citizen of their country. The cultures were a big factor in Rome and America. Rome and the U.S. have the same cultures such as, food, religion, and arts. People might say it’s an amazing thing to be like something else, but if we are so similar, what does that mean for our country?
            Since the U.S. is so similar to Rome, what happens next? Obviously we know Rome fell, so what does that mean for us? To be honest, the U.S. is headed in the same direction. As the country fell, Rome was stationed in Germany and Iraq. The United States, as of 2013 and 2014, are stationed in Iraq. Rome was a country for quite a long time before they fell, but United States hasn't been a country near the time Rome has. The U.S. is in horrible shape, and nobody is stepping up to fix the problem. America is going to fall it’s just a matter of time, but what will the U.S. become?
            Our civilizations will suffer. After the fall of the U.S., our country will become a dictatorship. It will get to the point that our every move will be controlled by the government. Our lives as we know it will forever change. Everyone will have the same religion and speak the same language. Our country will be searching for answers and will never find them. The civilization we know now will never be the same. The better questions is when will the U.S. fall and are you ready for it?

            Will America repeat history, or will we fall as a nation? We are, in many ways just like Rome, and we very well could crash just like they did. As American's we know that nothing is changing. The question is, will it ever change? As we grow older, we learn from our elder's past mistakes. Will the U.S. learn from Rome's mistakes?
