1. The Olympic games were originally invented by the ancient Greeks. They got their name after the highest Greek mountain, which also represented the border with the ''barbarians'' on the north of them, namely the Macedonians, Illirians, Thracians, and Paionians. These games provide a nice clue about the values and culture of the Greeks in this period of time. One thing is the competitiveness that the Greeks had. Also, the striding toward perfect and strong body through exercise and healthy diet is another thing. The pride in representing the city-state and bringing glory to it was another important thing.

2. The thing that is admirable about the Olympic games is that it was an excellent way of competition without having any conflict, but being a peaceful, sporting event, in which people from the different city-states were trying to bring pride to themselves and their city-states. It was also very good because it was motivating the people to be like the competitors, to have healthy diets and regular exercises. The thing that is not admirable about the games is that people form other ethnic groups were not allowed to participate. It was only on few occasions that a single Macedonia was going to be allowed to participate, and when it happened that the Macedonian won, it was seen as big humiliation for the Greeks, so he was not given the honors and price as all other winners. SO we can say that it was a discriminatory competition.

How did feudalism end the middle ages
Papessa [141]
<span>The decline of feudalism was brought about by its own success. The system allowed for a new era of wealth and prosperity within Europe. However, this progress allowed people held back by the system to achieve a better standard of living. </span>During the feudalism era, serfs were at the mercy and will of their feudal lords. However in western Europe in the 12th and 13th centuries, many serfs were able to start growing their own personal wealth by engaging in trade. At the same time, many lords were beginning to have money issues and, therefore, needed to rent out their lands to tenant farmers. Serfs who had raised enough personal capital began to rent the land and, in effect, buy their freedom from serfdom.

As monarchical power in England and France increased, the power of the nobility decreased, which further led to the erosion of feudalism. In 1660, feudalism was outlawed in England. By the start of the French Revolution in 1789, feudalism ceased to exist in France. The lords in these countries who once ruled over serfs became the aristocracy. In Germany, the feudal system was replaced by small royal states until the 19th century and the unification of Prussia.

From which part of the country did ektara and dotara originate​
IrinaK [193]
Ektara (Hindi: एकतारा, Bengali: একতারা, Nepali: एकतारे, Punjabi: ਇਕ ਤਾਰਾ, Tamil: எக்டரா; literally 'one-string', also called actara, iktar, ektar, yaktaro, gopichand, gopichant, golki Nepali: गोल्, gopijiantra, tun tuna) is a one-stringed musical instrument used in the traditional music of South Asia,[1] and used in modern-day music of Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan.[1] It originated in South Asia.[1]
In origin the ektara was a regular string instrument of wandering bards and minstrels from India and is plucked with one finger. The ektara is a drone lute consisting of a gourd resonator covered with skin, through which a bamboo neck is inserted. It is used in parts of India and Nepal today by Yogis and wandering holy men to accompany their singing and prayers. In Nepal, the instrument accompanies the singing of the Ramayana and Mahabharata.[2]
It has two forms. One form resembles a lute. To make that version, a bamboo stick (90cm long) is inserted through side of wooden bowl (called a "tumbo") and the top of the bowl is covered with deerskin. The instrument has a single string running from a peg at the top, down the length of the stick-neck, across a bridge on the deerhide soundboard, and is tied at the "spike" where the stick pokes through the bowl. The instrument's string is plucked with the musicians index fingernail.[3][2]
The other version uses a drum-like body, and a skin soundboard with a string attached (to bend the sound of the soundboard). Two bamboo lathes are attached to the side of the drumhead and the string goes from the soundboard to where the lathes meet. This version of the instrument may be played either by plucking the string or by tapping the drumhead. Squeezing and releasing the bamboo lathes puts pressure on the drumhead and bends the pitch up and down. This form is associated with the Bauls of West Bengal, as well as the Tharu people of Udayapur District, Nepal.
