Celestial bodies and planets seem to determine our calendars, in addition, to our time. Consequently, time plays a major key role in each and every decision or plans that make up our events. As a result, time and calendars make up our seasons when they are uninformed about the celestial bodies.

He is a tragic hero because he is presented as a noble, upright, virtuous man who is concerned for his country, and is tragically led to betray his friend, Julius Caesar. This is also supported by the fact that the other main character, Julius Caesar, dies in the middle of the play.

The power of language Language, when used to manipulate, can solely cause war. Language can be used to manipulate others for the purpose of political change to the point of war. In Julius Caesar, by William Shakespeare, the power of language is represented by the use of strong language by characters to persuade others to follow them. War is caused by the manipulation of the senators to kill Caesar and the manipulation of the plebeians to revolt. Cassius in act 1 shows how figurative language can
length of the week. In 1793 during the French Revolution, the National Convention tried to stray from this by creating a new calendar based on the decimal system. The year still consisted of 12 months split into thirty days, but these days were split into ten hours, and these hours split into one hundred minutes, and those minutes split into one hundred seconds. The calendar was conceived as part of a movement to remove all traces of the catholic church, who the revolutionaries blamed for a great
Cicero’s On Duties defends republican government because it serves the whole community. He stresses that honorable rulers must benefit the people. Ruling “for the sake of pre-eminence” leads one astray (On Duties, 11). In contrast, Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar chronicles the dissolution of a republican government, as the play ends with the rise of imperial Rome. This ending helps depict the power of the elites. Marc Antony’s funeral oration manipulated the people to believe that Caesar cared for them

The Greek and the Roman culture perfectly understood the combination of philosophy, arts, and literature to create a sense of overwhelming feelings and admirations on ancient cultures. Even though these two civilizations no longer have the preeminence, yet many years later, the world continues to remember their accomplishment in the world of art.

Roman chant is essentially a precursor to the ‘Gregorian’ chant we know today, which should really be called Romano-Frankish chant, and refers to the chant used by the early Roman Catholic church, which possibly developed out of Jewish liturgy. It was adopted and altered by the Carolingians in the late eighth century, and ultimately replaced by the Carolingian version by the end of the thirteenth century.

The French Revolution was an example of how culture brings revolutions; that they are made and do not simple come. This can clearly be seen in the counterrevolution that followed the removal of the King and the creation of the French Republic. De-Christianization fueled the counterrevolution by alienating the provinces of France. This shows how important it is to have a sense of inclusion, symbolism, and volunteerism for an efficient revolution. Religion is one of the few things that can transect

This calendar does not account for the extra quarter-day each year it takes the Earth to revolve around the sun. Our modern calendar corrects for this calculation offset by adding an extra day to February every four years, making a 'Leap Year.' The Maya didn't calculate for the orbital offset on their Haab' calendar so the dating of

Brutus, closest friend and murderer of Caesar

If you ask any of those people what the definition of culture is-you will probably get a million different answers.
