         <description><![CDATA[<div>1.) What is the most fascinating thing that you´ve learned about Ancient Indus River Valley Civilization, please explain why. <strong>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.&nbsp;</strong></div><div><br><br>2.) Though your research, what was the main factor that led to the demise of the Harappans (the Indus River Valley Civilization) or where there a variety of different factors.&nbsp; Please explain why.&nbsp; <strong>The main factor that led to the demise of the Harappans was climate change due to the fact there was no sign of physical damage instead there was a great flood struck in the area.</strong></div><div><br></div><div><br><br>3.) What are you´re thoughts on the Indian Caste System, do you think that it is still prevalent in their society today, even though it was abolished in 1950?&nbsp; <strong>Yes, the poor are staying poor and the rich are staying rich.</strong></div><div><br></div><div><br><br>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? <strong>No, it should not. If you are smart and work hard enough you should be able to get a job in a higher caste.</strong></div><div><br></div><div><br><br>5.) Give one example of how the Caste system not only affects the type of job you have but also your lifestyle. <strong>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.</strong><br><br>6.) What are your thoughts on the Dalits or Untouchables? <strong>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.</strong></div><div><br></div><div><br><br>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?&nbsp; Please explain why or why not?&nbsp; <strong>I believe people should be able to work in a different caste to have different experiences and learn new things. If I lived in India and hated the work tied to my caste, I would definitely try to get a different job in a new caste because I might actually like the new one.&nbsp;</strong></div><div><br></div><div><br><br>8.) Why is it considered shameful by many to marry someone from a different caste?&nbsp; If you lived in India, would you try to marry someone outside of your caste?&nbsp; Please explain why or why not? <strong>It is shameful to marry someone from a different caste because if you were to have kids there could be genetic mutations. That would cause the person in the marriage that is from a higher caste to drop down castes.</strong></div><div><br></div><div><br><br>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?&nbsp; <strong>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.&nbsp;</strong></div><div><br></div><div><br><br>10.) What is your opinion on open defecation, and the fact many Indians still practice it today? <strong>&nbsp;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.&nbsp;</strong></div><div><br></div><div><br><br>11.) Choose one of the following, and why is it so critical to life in India:&nbsp; <em>Atman, Dharma, Karma, Moksha</em>&nbsp; <strong>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.&nbsp;</strong></div><div><br></div><div><br><br>12.) What is Hinduism and where is it practiced?&nbsp; Give 3 fun facts? <strong>&nbsp;Hinduism is a major world religion that emphasizes dharma within its social observances. Facts about Hinduism is that the religion belives only in one god, it’s the 3rd largest religion in the world, and the religion believes in a circular rotation of time.</strong></div><div><br></div><div><br><br><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. The most interesting thing that i learned was that they&nbsp; had toys in there baths<br>2.&nbsp; The main demise that brought them down was the water drought. the drought happens because there water source wasn't as big as the other parts of the river<br>3. My thought on the cast system was not right, yes teachers and warriors are important but the untouchables or dalits were not needed they could be just as useful to society. yes it happens here because people thing of the homeless or the less talented people are useless.<br>4. no it should not be your destiny because as you grow older you become more helpful and skillful. your parents uselessness shouldn't be put on you for you can be more useful then they think .<br>5. If you are born in the dalits you are not useful to society but if you were born higher up then your job would be given to you by what your parents did<br>6. I think that just because they were born in that level they should be able to prove themselves to be helpful.<br>7.&nbsp; Yes they should be able to work in different caste. no i wouldn't because i don't want to be married.<br>8. Because it would be hurt full to your status and it would probley hurt your chances to get a job<br>9. Yes because they do this with homeless people thy don't want to be around them or help them<br>10. I think it is a little embarrassing and gross because you should do that in privet were no one should see you.&nbsp;<br>11.&nbsp; dhrama is so important because he was the creator of the universe, they see him as a very important person.<br>12. Hinduism is a Indian religion. Hinduism is the worlds old realign, there gods can take many forms, and have 900 million followers</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1) What is the most fascinating thing you've learned about Ancient Indus River Civilization, please explain why.<br>-&nbsp; I liked how the people use natural herbs as medications, instead of feeding the body man made chemicals<br><br>2) What was the main factor that led to the demise of Harappans, or where there is a variety of different factors. Please explain why.&nbsp;<br>- Many scientists and people believe that the Harappans were due to climate change. Monsoons may have caused the collapse of their civilization due to the affect on the eater supply.<br><br>3) What are you're thoughts on the Indian Caste System, do you think that it is still prevalent in their society today, even though it was abolished in 1950?<br>- Yes, because the rich people aren't getting poor, and the poor people aren't getting rich.&nbsp;<br><br>4) Should being born in a particular caste be considered you destiny in life, to always remain and live according to the rules and culture of the caste forever?&nbsp;<br>- I think that being born in a particular caste shouldn't determine what you do in life.<br><br>5) Give one example of how the Caste system not only affects the type of job you have, but also your lifestyle.<br>- Being born in underclass or upperclass determines your entire future. If your parents have a nice job, and can send you to a nice school, and a nice college, you will probably get a really good job, but if you are underclass, you can't afford better schooling.<br><br>6) What are your thoughts on the Dalits or Untouchables?<br>-&nbsp; I know that in BC it came down to the process of the government, but I believe all people should of had equal rights, and equal treatment.<br><br>7) Do you believe that people should be allowed to work in different caste. If you lived in India, and you hated the work tied to your caste, would you try to get another job in a different caste. Please explain why or why not?<br>- I believe that people should be allowed to do any line of work they want, whether it fits their lifestyle or caste, or not. If I lived in India, and hated my work, I would definitely try my hardest to get a different job in a different caste because I wouldn't want to spend everyday of my life doing something that I didn't enjoy.<br><br>8) Why is is considered shameful by many to marry someone from a different caste? If you lived in India, would you try to marry someone outside your caste. Why or why not?&nbsp;<br>- It is considered shameful because people look at is as you betraying your family and country by marrying someone else, but if I liked or loved someone, I wouldn't not be with them just because they are from a different caste.<br><br>9) Could you see this type of Caste system being implemented in today's society, in the US. Why or why not.&nbsp;<br>- I couldn't see this happening in today's society in the US because we are a free country, and we are far more advanced than that.<br><br>10) What is you opinion on open defecation, and the fact that many Indians still practice it today?&nbsp;<br>- I personally think that it is gross, and slightly cruel, but the Indians believe that it is the right way to do it, and I respect that.<br><br>11) Choose one of the following, and why is it so critical to life in India?<br>- Atman, which is roughly comparable to the soul, is a major concept in Hinduism. Through "knowing Atman" (or knowing one's essential self), one can achieve liberation from reincarnation. Atman is thought to be the essence of a being, and, in most Hindu schools, separate from the ego.<br><br>12) What is Hinduism and where is it practiced. Give 3 facts&nbsp;<br>- Hinduism is the world's oldest religion, according to many scholars, with roots and customs dating back more than 4,000 years. Today, with about 900 million followers, Hinduism is the third-largest religion behind Christianity and Islam. Roughly 95 percent of the world's Hindus live in India.<br><br></div>]]></description>
