Answer:

The process of decline of the Western Roman Empire began in the mid-4th century BC, especially because of the series of problems that had plagued it since the third century, such as the barbarian invasions, the economic crisis and the military dispute over power.

Explanation:

The Roman Empire of the West had as one of the main causes of its fall the barbarian invasions carried out by the Germanic towns that inhabited the region to the east of the borders of the Empire. Alongside the decadence of the slave economy and military de-structuring, barbarian invasions were pointed out by historians as one of the major processes that led to the end of the greatest empire of antiquity in 476 AD.

From the economic point of view, the empire was in crisis especially after the collapse of the slave system, which had to be replaced by the settlement system, which consisted of the relationship between people with precarious subsistence conditions and large landowners who contracted their services and in return offered protection and lands for work. Many owners who owned slaves began to liberate them and also to establish the settlement regime with them. This process led to a decline in urban centers and commercial activity in cities.

Another phenomenon that gained great proportions amid the crisis of the Empire was the rise of Christianity. The Christians, who had inhabited the dominions of the Empire for a long time, began to grow numerically. This fact led the Emperor Constantine - who later transferred the seat of the Roman Empire to Byzantium - to institute Christianity as the main religion of the Roman Empire, having himself converted. This generated a power struggle that contributed to the downfall of the empire.

There are multiple factors such as disease and invaders from outside and even conflicts within Rome but maybe the invaders were the problem because they ended up being the reason why Rome fell.

How did the attacks of Sept. 11th, 2001 change the world that we all live in today?

Margarita [4]

Answer:

Two hijacked planes smashed into the World Trade Center buildings in New York City on September 11, 2001. A third plane collided with the Pentagon, and a fourth airliner was shot down in a Pennsylvania field by brave passengers attempting to stop the terrorists. A large number of people were injured, and a large number of people killed. This was an extraordinary attack that shocked the entire world.

The American people have changed in the way that we do not trust so easily and can sometimes feel fearful now of other cultures. After the terrorist attack on September 11th, America was never the same. For one, air travel completely changed. The al Qaeda hijackers were able to pass airport security, board the plane with no issues, and then force themselves into the cockpit. It was clear that America’s security failed and was not at the level it should have been at. This all changed when the Transportation Security Administration was created and authorized by the United States Congress in November of that year. With the TSA came new regulations that are what we see today. TSA requires photo IDs to pass through the screening area, shoes need to be removed, carry on liquids can only be in three-ounce containers, and one needs to pass through full-body scanners. They have also been trained to detect signs of suspicious behavior. I believe that students should be taught this when they can understand the seriousness of this event that occurred. The event should be taught as it happened. There is no reason to make the event less of what it was. They should talk about the ones who suffered, the ones who gave their lives for others, and the families and friends who lost someone. It is important to teach this event that changed America forever. I think the memorial is very appropriate and it is good to honor and remember those who lost their lives. This is especially important for the ones who lost someone in their lives.
