African culture has had large contributions to our nowadays society. Its high culture is the basis to many different cultural venues in the western world. Beginning by music, African influence has an important role in the spiritual / religious realm of America; as it blended its traditional chants held in African rituals into Protestanism meetings, it had an important repercussion in the gospels and gave structure to the singing tradition in the Christian community. But besides that, its contribution in the secular world is even greater. Its rhythmic patterns and beats became the basis to many forms of western music such as Jazz, Hip Hop, Rock & Roll, and House, as they originate in Soul, Funk and Blues music coming directly from African music expression.

Answer:
After the Punic wars
Explanation:
The Punic Wars are wars waged between Rome and Carthage for dominance in the Mediterranean.
In the First Punic War land and sea fighting took place in Sicily. The Romans built their first naval fleet and defeated the Carthaginians by using assault ships mounted on ships in the battles near Milazzo. After the Romans lost almost their entire fleet they built a new, decisively defeated Carthage. With peace, the Romans gained all of Sicily, and Carthage had to pay them war compensation.
The Second Punic War was triggered by the great commercial boom of Carthage and its conquests in Spain and the aggressive policies of the Barkas family, which took power in Carthage. The Carthaginian leader Hannibal crossed the Alps, penetrated Italy and badly defeated the Romans near Lake Trazimen and Cannae But when he returned to Africa, he was defeated by Scipion African in a decisive battle near Zama. The conditions of peace that were then concluded were very unfavorable for Carthage: it had to renounce Spain, the Mediterranean islands and Numidia, and pledge to burn all its warships (except 10), not to wage wars without the permission of Rome, and to pay Rome war damages.
The third Punic war was triggered by disputes between King of Numida and Carthage. At the persistent request of Cato Elder to destroy Carthage the Roman Senate decided to wage war and immediately besieged Carthage from land and from the sea. After 3 years The Romans conquered, looted and destroyed Carthage, and symbolically plowed a furrow at the site of the city, and killed or sold the inhabitants to slaves. Part of the Carthage territory in Africa was organized as a Roman province, and the rest was distributed to their allies.
1. I believe the major cultural element would be Religion.
The population in south Asia is not even close to be as diverse as American Population.
In the past, populations with different religion even involved in Civil war that could only be resolved by separating the people into two regions for each region (the Muslim went to Pakistan, the Hindu stay in India)
2. The difference between the poor and the rich in India is even wider than successful capitalistic countries.
This happen because the social stratification in Indian society is much more open and deemed as acceptable by Indian Citizens, which limit the opportunities of civilians in lowe strata
3. The factors that caused the difference are:
- Opportunities that exist within each social stratification
- The after effect of colonization period which allocate the resources in india to the families or organizations that supported the British Empire
- Traditional view that often prevents the advancement in science
Not allowed to have their own occupation
