1.) What is the most fascinating thing that you´ve learned about Ancient Indus River Valley Civilization, please explain why. The most fascinating thing that I’ve learned about the Ancient Indus River Valley Civilization is that the first dentist was born in the Indus Valley Civilization. I never knew dentists were around in these ancient times, so I found it very interesting as well as fascinating.

4.) Should being born in a particular caste be considered your destiny in life, to always remain and live according to the rules and culture of that caste forever? No, it should not. If you are smart and work hard enough you should be able to get a job in a higher caste.

5.) Give one example of how the Caste system not only affects the type of job you have but also your lifestyle. You are stuck with the caste system so that means if you are poor you will stay poor and can’t make money because you can only have a job in your caste.

6.) What are your thoughts on the Dalits or Untouchables? I think they were stuck in a very difficult situation. For example, no one in a higher caste wanted to be around them and they were not even acknowledged.

7.) Do you believe that people should be allowed to work in a different caste? If you lived in India, and you hated the work tied to your caste, would you try to get a job in another caste?  Please explain why or why not?  I believe people should be able to work in a different caste to have different experiences and learn new things.

8.) Why is it considered shameful by many to marry someone from a different caste?  If you lived in India, would you try to marry someone outside of your caste?  Please explain why or why not?

That would cause the person in the marriage that is from a higher caste to drop down castes.

9.) Could you see this type of Caste System being implemented in today´s society, in the United States? Please explain why or why not?  I could not see this type of Caste System being implemented in todays society, because many people switch jobs when they’re not liking it and they marry anyone they want. Overall, the way the Caste System worked definitely wouldn't thrive in the United States today.

10.) What is your opinion on open defecation, and the fact many Indians still practice it today?  I don’t think open defecation should be allowed because it could lead to the spread of diseases and I think the Indians that still practice it need to stop immediately so they will reduce the spread of diseases. If they stopped practicing this, the overall health of the population would increase.

11.) Choose one of the following, and why is it so critical to life in India:  Atman, Dharma, Karma, Moksha  Atman is a word that refers to the universal soul which means it underlies all activities of a person. It is so critical in life due to the fact it makes you as well as your organs function.
