Document Summary
Roman empire, and how the honor seeking, competition for status, agonistic culture is more intense, because the roman empire ran on competition for honour, but it was geographically spread out. Assimilation of cultures because how far out the roman empire had captured. Your branding as a human being was important. When you"re trying to preserve your culture, you have to make peace with the diversity in different locations culturally. Two big challenges (two forms of totalitarianism) Results from people who are from the old guard, big land owners in the senate, and look down on the new people. This could cause the empire to fail unless the new citizens feel invested in. A new guard (barbarians, the france, the germans) intercultural exchange, when there is good politics in play, the germans, french could move up. New guard takes power, a new group is lead in, and the older power is treated poorly. (old money, new money)
