Are humans greedy and selfish by nature OR are they naturally good/blank slate? 

-I say that humans are greedy by nature but the amounts or how greedy we are vary. Some humans can be much greedier than others depending on how they were raised. People are raised to NOT be greedy but if they are not then they naturally are.

-Mr. Crandell says, im right.

IV. part 1
                   The 3 greatest internal problems that could lead to the fall of the United States are decline in morals and values, government corruption, and becoming to diverse.

Part 2

1. The first reason the Roman empire fell was because the people were losing their good morals and values. Most of the people just partied all the time and drank until they were sick. The United States is beginning to have this problem because TV shows are showing how people just drink and party all the time (Jersey Shore) and the teenagers who watch it start to think how fun it looks and how they want to be like that.

2. The second greatest reason for the Roman empire falling was that is was too diverse. With how many people the Roman empire controlled the amount of diversity in the people made them harder to rule. In the United States, we are one of the most diverse countries in the world. However, having all these different types of minority groups makes it harder for the government to make laws because the different groups of people all act differently. 

3. The last greatest reason for the fall of the Roman empire was the unemployment rate. There were many Roman citizens that were out of work and this is related to the United States however, it is not one of the greatest reasons for decline in the U.S. The unemployment in the U.S. is not the lowest it has ever been but it is still causing many problems for many people.
