The History of India's culture: Ancient civilization in India reveals marvelous facts about our heritage. It is a eye opener as to how kingdoms ruled and how people went about life in a logical way. Though medieval, it is actually amazing to find how people transacted and went about building dams and tended to the chief occupation which was agriculture. Dance and rituals were always a part of Indian culture and this was the chief mode of entertainment.

Indian census has established that Hinduism accounts for 80.5% of the population of India. The second largest religion is Islam, at about 13.4% of the population. The third largest religion is Christianity at 2.3%. The fourth largest religion is Sikhism at about 1.9% of India's population. Stating the hospitality of Hinduism towards all other religions, John Hardon writes, "However, the most significant feature of current Hinduism is its creation of a non-Hindu State, in which all religions are equal.

History-

The Middle East is the most ancient region of human civilization. Around 10,000 BC farming first developed in the area referred to as the Fertile Crescent (the area of land arching from the Persian Gulf over the watersheds of the Tigris and Euphrates river in Iraq through the eastern coast of the Mediterranean into Egypt.)

Middle East Timeline ... 1917 Balfour Declaration released from British government 1918 World War I ends; Allies carve up the Middle East; Britain takes control of Palestine More ...

Over the next 12,000 years many different great civilizations and cultures developed from or invaded the area. The list of ancient empires includes: Egyptians (c. 3000-1000 BC); Assyrians and Babylonians (c. 1000-500 BC); Persians (c. 550-330 BC); Greeks (c. 330-60 BC); and Romans (C. 60 BC - 140 AD). In modern times, the Ottoman Empire (c. 1300 - 1923) became the largest political entity in Europe and western Asia. The Safavid empire (1501 - 1736) dominated the area of modern Iran.

The Middle East has been the center of more than 20 major conflicts from the Persian-Greek Wars to the Crusades to the Iran-Iraq War. After World War I, the decline and dismemberment of the Ottoman Empire marked the beginning of a new stage of conflict over territory centering around the lands of Palestine.

While today about 92% of the population (292 million people) are Muslims, the Middle East is the geographic and emotional center of three of the world's great religions: Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.

Well one story about me that defiantly had a positive effect on me would be the first time I met Cody Whitt. The first time I met Cody was also the first time I ever heard a Pep Band play. It was a volleyball game at Absarokee and I was in the 6th grade, I went with some friends to the game just to hang out, but when I walked into the gym all I can remember is seeing Cody wrecking the drum set with a solo from hell!!!!
To this day I just stop and smile when I think about that solo. It was the most incredible solo of my life because I remember walking behind him while he was playing.
I couldn't here myself think it was so loud. His arms were moving so fast that I just stared trying to see the sticks as he moved around the set. All of a sudden my arm really hurt and I realized that he had broke a stick and it had hit my arm.
I was hooked from that moment on. I wanted to have kids admire me as I busted a solo and to just enjoy playing the way he did.

I chose the third question which asks whether I think Okonkwo is a hero or a victim. I think that he is a little bit of both.

First he is a hero because he always stands up for what is right in his own way. He doesn't go against his gods but against the people that would try to oppress him. He likes to fight but that is because the way his tribe feels about fighting. He is looked at highly for being a great fighter.

I also think he is a victim because everything that can go wrong does. Some examples of how life keeps taking turns for the worst is he kills the boy, he is banished, captured, and finally feels so badly that he dishonorably takes his own life.

South Africa has an are of 471,433 Sq.mi. The population of South Africa according to a censers 2008 was 47,900,000. That is 101.6 people per sq. mi. Talk about Crammed!

An interesting piece literature i came across while reading was the ethnic groups. 79.5 % are black 9.2% are white 8.9% are coloured and 2.5 are Asian.

How do you drive? Did you know that in South Africa they drive on the left side of the road. How weird would that be if you were trying to learn to drive that way?

The sport that is most played by South African people is soccer.

My Question is in the Ethnics section is what is coloured?
