The Ancient Olympic Games originated in Greece, where the first competitive sports were played. The modern Olympics models its ancestry down to the opening and closing ceremonies. For instance, the winners of the Ancient Games received an olive wreath as their reward. In 2004, the International Olympic Committee decided to honor this tradition by rewarding the winners with a crown of olive branches. The artistic display during the opening, closing, and victory ceremonies must meet the standards set forth by the International Olympic Committee. In fact, the IOC oversees every action put in motion at the scheduled Olympic Games.

The Olympic ceremonies evolved over the centuries; however, many elements mirror the ancient way of marking the start and finish of the Games. The International Olympic Committee has preserved the core of the Ancient Olympics by keeping the basic events of the scheduled event the same. For instance, the modern Olympic Games incorporate technological advances to allow the hosting nation to display their own artistic expression. Each nation may build their own elements into the opening and closing ceremonies after they have met the approval of the International Olympic Committee. As the years trail along, the ceremonies continue to expand in scope, scale, and expense in an attempt to outdo previous celebrations; however, the majority of nations recognize the backbone of Grecian tradition.

The opening ceremonies represent the official start of the Olympic Games; however, the modern Games have introduced athletic competition before the commencement of the main sporting events, especially with the ever-expanding football competition that continues to add a growing number of teams each successive celebration. The Olympic Charter dictates that each celebration follows the canonized rituals bestowed during the 1920 Summer Olympic Games. The opening ceremonies typically commence with the raising of the hosting nation's flag along with the signing of the national anthem. Afterward, the hosting nation displays its artistic works in the form of music, art, singing, dance, and theater. In addition, it details the country's history, culture, and overall importance for the global community. It also showcases the current Olympic Game motto. The traditional part of the opening ceremonies commences with the Parade of Nations, or the introduction of the participating athletes in marching form. Each of these participating athletes marches with their country's team by raising their nation's flag. Shortly thereafter, the President of the Organizing Committee and IOC makes a speech and then turns the microphone over to the country's representative who officially declares the opening of the Games.

maw [93]

Answer:

I think this will help....i didnt wanna give the actually awnser so here

Explanation:

The Ghana Empire (c. 700 until c. 1240), properly known as Wagadou (Ghana or Ga'na being the title of its ruler), was a West African empire located in the area of present-day southeastern Mauritania and western Mali. Complex societies based on trans-Saharan trade in salt and gold had existed in the region since ancient times,[1] but the introduction of the camel to the western Sahara in the 3rd century CE, opened the way to great changes in the area that became the Ghana Empire. By the time of the Muslim conquest of North Africa in the 7th century the camel had changed the ancient, more irregular trade routes into a trade network running from Morocco to the Niger river. The Ghana Empire grew rich from this increased trans-Saharan trade in gold and salt, allowing for larger urban centres to develop. The traffic furthermore encouraged territorial expansion to gain control over the different trade routes.

Mario Benedetti “¿qué pasaría si de pronto una injusticia, sólo una, es repudiada por todo, que somos todos, no unos, no algunos
NikAS [45]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Mario Benedetti expreso: “¿Qué pasaría si de pronto una injusticia, sólo una, es repudiada por todo, que somos todos, no unos, no algunos, sino todos?”

Lo que esta frase dice respecto a la fuerza que puede tener la humanidad es que si en algún momento la humanidad dejara atrás diferencias, problemas, agendas personales, egoísmos y rencores, tendría la fuerza necesaria como para derrocar gobiernos corruptos, exigir transparencia en las decisiones de los gobernantes, exigir mejores oportunidades de vida para todos, entre otras muchas cosas.

El problema es que los humanos estos divididos por religiones, partidos políticos, etnias, razas, puntos de vista, estratos sociales y demás divisiones que solo nos debilitan como humanos.

Así, divididos y débiles, el humano es dócil y fácil de gobernar.
