Part 1 essay
  The United State soon to fall? Is there some  similarities between the fall of Rome and whats going on in the United States today? The U.S is have problems with people staying with there values, keeping good health, and unemployment. 
  The biggest problem that the U.S is facing is our health. Obesity has became a huge problem. People over eating can kill people as fast of the black plague did to Europe because of the bad sanitary conditions. Over eating can shut down major organs the body needs to live. Then Unemployment is getting harsh to. Although the and averaged of 8% of people are out of jobs  today isn't that much its still a problem because our jobs are being moved to other countries to be produced cheaper. In Rome many people were out of jobs and didn't have much money so people lived out on the unsanitary roads. Then a really big thing that is going on in the U.S is the decline in moral values. People are starting to not want to work for what they have. They don't want to do anything that doesn't benefit themselves. Plus watching Tv shows like the Jersey Shore and other things that are meant to entertain like radios, magazines, etc. This then leads to people taking action like famous celebrities do which declines the moral values. For Rome that wasn't really the problem.   In Rome people went to church and stayed to the moral values pretty well. 
  Is the fall of United States soon? Possibly if we keep following the same paths as rome fell down. With unemployment, decline in values, and health, plus many more issues the end could be coming closer than we know it.


Part 2
1. One major problem is health. In Rome the black plague was a disease that killed 1/3 of their population. Health was a major problem during Rome, due to the fact of streets being unsanitary and filthy with no one bathing or anything like that because they thought it was natural for them all to be dirty and smell instead of bathing in the rivers. In the United States our problem is obesity which mean people have weight problems. Obesity leads to health conditions that could lead to death like diabetes, heart problems, etc. This is like the problem Rome had because we could being killing ourselves and not even know it and even how we are.

2. Another big problem that Rome faced was the unemployment. Rome had people living on filthy streets because people were unemployed and not able to provide for themselves. This probably even helped spread diseases. In the United States employment rates change all the time. But we do have people who struggle providing for themselves as well but now days people get help through taxes.

3. One more big problem Rome faced was their education. There education wasn't the best if you think about how they didn't know anything about the diseases they were getting and didn't really bother to learn it till a 1/3 of the population had died. But because of the lack of knowledge, they had to eventually lead into a feudal system because they didn't even know how to defend themselves do to lack of technology too. In the U.S that isn't really a problem besides the fact of kids not wanting to learn because they want to do what ever they want. But the technology in the U.S is advanced which helps the U.S in its case.
