Bush Calls It A "Crusade"

Disaster On September 11, 2001

In September 11, 2001 known as (911) the twin towers in New York were attacked by terrorist. 2 jets crashed with the towers, causing the deaths of many. 5 days later, bush called for a war on terror and then call it a “crusade”, this really worried many in Europe, fearing that amricans will attack all muslims, similar to the first crusade. It was a bad idea to compare the current war to the crusade because it recalls the barbarous and unjust military operations against the Muslim world. The people who fought the original crusade were the Christians and Muslims.

King Phillip

King Phillip 2nd had a dream of conquering the world. He was the king of Macedonia which was located north from ancient Greece. He soon conquered Persia and much of the land of India. But his dream was burned down when he was killed by his own bodyguard while attending his daughter’s wedding. Soon after his death, his son Alexander (who would later be known as Alexander the Great) took control and began to conquer more land and soon conquer what was known as the “Seleucid Kingdom” which was a large piece of land. Soon when all these conquered lands came together and combined, the culture known as “Hellenistic” was created.

Gladiator Fights And Moder Day Distractions

In the roman times thousands of people would go to the circus to watch the gladiators fight. Gladiators fought tigers and other men’s. The way the fights would end was either thumbs up or thumbs down. Thumbs up meant to let them live and thumbs down was to kill them. The crowd usually played the roles of these life-and-death decisions. They called this entertainment; these people went to watch them fight for free. In today’s modern day circus are stilled used for entertainment but things aren’t as bad as before, even though things haven’t changed a bit because when someone is watching a fight they’re always anxious to know what’s going to happen. Most of the times these types of entertainment are found in newspapers and in TV that way it look more interesting. Everything is practically the same just that back then it was gladiators fight and now is the same just called wrestling, boxing, kick-boxing, and much more. Another name could be like “violent entertainments”.
