The lauras exposured of Italy

The lauras exposured about italy was very good not only for his excellent knowledge of the subject but by how much didactic in the exposed.
I believe that after exposure to those attending the same not considered only as pasta dough but notice that there are different types and regions where they are most consumed.
On the other hand it is important to understand that knowledge of different cultures can lead to people being more educated and more aware of traditions around the world

THE MAYAN CULTURE – BALL GAME

Today various sports are practiced that move billions of dollars a year. Like football, basketball, racing and others. They search only the diversion of people and provide higher incomes to athletes and their employers. On the contrast in the ancient Mayan civilization was practiced the ball game where they simulated a battle and one of the members of the loser group was sacrificed. Is really clear that the sports in the actuality are better that the sports in the Mayan culture.

The Mayan conceived the game of the ball like a ritual. This game represents the origins of the universe and search to reactivate the myths of the creation of the corn and other astronomical phenomena, the game had the diverse variants according to the time and the place, for the general a ball was used made of rubber that stuck with the waist, the knees, the shoulders and the elbows.


The current games are sports that don't represent specific, neither magnificent event; neither have they given drastic consequences as in the old cultures. The sports are considered a passion for all that that he/she practices them and they know that these they demand discipline and effort and also a passion for those that enjoy each one of the sport activities, obtaining at the end a positive or negative feeling in each one of people participates of the events without arriving to terrible consequences like it happened in the old cultures.

In conclusion we can observe that the sports have had an important evolution with regard to their objective passing of being cultural rites to activities that are carried out highly for amusement, passion and business.

Rites or religion: antiquity against modernity

Through the history, we have seen that different civilizations are affected by their own rites and rituals, which makes them special and unique. The Vikings as well as other great ancient civilizations had their own rituals to promote their interests. Some of these rituals today have lost their importance and really shows us that in antiquity the Vikings believed much more in the future of their habitants that the modernity. What kind of rituals we see in modern society seems to be a bit of Viking. Today we have religious rituals that help us know what kind of people and we will be coming in the future like the Vikings although some historians think that only old age will submit such rites.

First of all, The Vikings have specific rituals to determine who would come to be their children within the society of which it determined their names. The name for the Vikings is a very important symbol to people in this society as old, for this reason the Vikings are seeking to see their children born in good health so to give them the name that represents their future without fear of failure with this rite. At present the imposition of a name is just a ritual of identification to be registered so in a society, something very different from what they thought the Vikings.

Secondly, the religion in modernity has helped people to be more faithful and take a stand and live their lives better. Moreover, the Vikings have rituals to put names to time; the Vikings as well have rituals when it comes to marriages even the least spiritual rite. In contrast, for people of today the religion gives them greater confidence in making marriages today will strengthen marriage much more than in the old and in ancient societies like that of the Vikings.

In summary, although most rituals Vikings are not the same today for modern society, we can see that the beliefs according to religions are valid in some way.

The Incan civilization

In the Inca community, the family was not an independent kernel, but an integral part. There was a man responsible for ten families. He had a duty to regulate the distribution of land and the production of food for all families. Above him there was another man in charge of a hundred families who had to report. He also had to calculate how food was given to the gods as a form of taxes and sacrifices. For this reason exist a work division. The men had working hard to move the land to enable women to sow the seeds for the crops. This division really was better than other civilization. The society was very hierarchical with many levels within levels. But on the other hand this machismo was really but for the actual American civilization.


There was a real big problem because the persons did not progress like other societies. The Incan civilization really was different that other civilization. And for her machismo actuality people in many countries of America are like are. The machismo in different countries of America is really extreme, for example in Colombia many men hit your husband, and they do not leave them to work. Besides in many countries of America the women are relegated for the house work, because the men consider that the hard work is for the men.

The actual American civilization is really influenced in her forbears, because they had really a machist society and in the actuality the American society is really Improper, machist and unjust with the women.
