Description
Respond to two or more of your classmates’ posts by Day 7. Your responses should be substantive, at least 150 words, and provide comments and questions that further the conversation. Compare your work to a report on at least one different society than yours. What can you learn from your foreign colleagues? Are there similarities or differences between your societies? What can you learn from advisors writing about your own society? Have they overlooked important issues? Feel free to address your classmates “in character” as you assume your chosen role.

Hello,
The laws of justice, kindness, and togetherness are very important to the people of the Glorious Kingdom of Eldoria. Since I’m King Reginald’s assistant, I use reliable sources to give him a full picture of how our society works.
The 2019 book Constructive Radicalism: The FBI and Muslim Americans by Berg, which is about government and rule, shows the problems that Muslim Americans in the US face. On the other hand, Eldoria is very different. It welcomes people of all religions and works to bring its people together. People may be worried about how the FBI is acting, but King Reginald makes sure that justice and fairness are important parts of our government. This lets Eldoria grow as a peaceful country.
Ethics, Values, and Religious Beliefs: Isichei’s study of the Martatsine risings in Nigeria in 1987 sheds light on trouble between religious groups. On the other hand, Eldoria keeps faith unity by following Celestism. Celestism has shaped our morals, which encourage everyone to be kind, humble, and respectful. People enjoy religious traditions and practices, which helps build a sense of community and a common goal.
Gender Relationships: Harnischfeger’s (2006) study of how Islam is spreading in Nigeria makes us think about gender roles, but Eldoria is proud of her radical ideas. In a family, everyone is treated equally, and gender roles change over time. Eldoria’s arts and writing show a desire to question standard ideas and support different ways of expressing gender.
Achievements in Technology and beauty: Eldoria’s dedication to progress is clear in both technology and beauty. Our high-tech irrigation systems, which were created because of the need for healthy farming, are in line with the values of being environmentally friendly. Berg’s (2019) book Constructive Radicalism talks about how funding artistic and intellectual works can help people be more creative and work together.
By mentioning these works, I hope to give King Reginald a good account on how things are going in Eldoria right now. Even though the world has problems, our kingdom’s dedication to its ideas makes Eldoria a shining example of goodness and progress.

Greeting,
Dominus Noster Augustus,
I, Andreas of Palatine, bid you a warm welcome to life and prosperity. My Emperor, I have traveled for the past six months seeking knowledge from the many different cultures throughout the Mediterranean and Aegean seas. And have come across many achievements during my travels. As a merchant businessman and citizen of Rome, It is with great honor that I inform you of my findings.
While traveling to Athens, Greece. I have encountered the art of music and the many instruments used for entertainment. I was very surprised by this, knowing we Romans only used brass horns during our military crusades. It was very intriguing to hear the many sounds of a string instrument called a harp, lyre, kithara, or barbitoi played. For me, it was very relaxing, and it is also used in theater as a form of self-expression and body movement. I have heard that the Etruscans use music as a form of entertainment. Emperor Augustus We, too, can adopt this form of entertainment for the citizens of Rome with the approval of the senate.
While traveling in Athens, I had a hard time expressing myself. So, I attended a university to learn the local dialect called Greek. I was able to communicate and learn about the culture of the locals and their government. As a newly appointed member of the Senate, I would like to become the liaison for both Rome and Greece. This would be great for our trade and commerce and extend our military strength.
I understand we are still in the early stages of building aqueducts for the city of Rome for all citizens, including the Plebians. A bathhouse for all men is a great idea. I understand that it began with the former emperor Julius Caesar’s construction and has been ongoing ever since with each government leader. My Emperor, I assure you. You have my full support. The Senate should entrust those who are educated and have means of maintaining a successful lifestyle to assist in developing the laws of Rome. The best way to continue the construction is through the work and leadership of the military and freemen from other regions. We could also consider these people as Roman citizens of the state at years of service.
During my travels to Gaza, Egypt, the Egyptians worshiped and praised the sun and called it Ra. he is God of all, and the Pharaohs considered themselves descendants of him and are called Gods. This act would allow you to control the republic as a God-like figure to your people of Rome. With Judaism and Christianity already practiced, it would be essential for you to become recognized. as a great God-like figure also. The freedom of religious speech would be prosperous for the government and for Rome.
Augustus, we must never forget that Roman men will always be leaders in government and of their homes. Our wives and daughters will continue to complete domestic choirs. To maintain the family. Never should a woman lead in government or own property. This is written law. Women are the weaker vessels to men, so we maintain and follow to stand as a strong nation.
