ESSAY:
 The US if experiencing the same things Rome did when their empire began to fall. The 3 greatest internal problems facing the US is decline in morals and values, political corruption and environmental issues.

  Rome had a huge "decline in morals and values" problem, people went out and partied for days, got drunk till they were sick and did not care and they also went to the Colosseum to watch people/animals basically maul other humans. Some of that is happening here in the US. People don't care and live life on the edge, we also watch people get into fights, we watch sports for the fights, like we mainly watch hockey for the big fights and/or nascar for the big crashes.

   Another things is "political corruption". Our government has a huge debt and not enough money to pay it all, we also have a high unemployment rate. The Romans did not have a very good economy.

   The last one is environmental issues. Romans had lead poisoning and many other illnesses. They did not have very good sanitation and were very unclean. Here in the US we are becoming to clean, and killing all the good germs and we would not have any to kill the bad germs.
