The Etruscans were a fascinating civilization located in the city of Rome. Although they are practically unheard of in present day, they set the stage for all future civilizations ahead of them. While we do not have many remains of their culture, the few that we have give us an insight on to what life was like living in an Etruscan city. Cerveteri, also known as Caere, was an Etruscan metropolis located just outside Rome. It was thought to be home to around 25,000 people in 600 BCE. During the 7th century, Cerveteri went through a brisk economic advancement, causing it to become one of the main trading centers. Throughout this time, the artwork of the Etruscans began to mimic the Grecian style. Ornate vases, stylized fresco paintings, and bucchero became popular at this time. Bucchero was known for it’s shiny black surface and the predominance of figures that iminate metals. These periods in Etruscan history became known as the Orientalizing and the Archaic periods. But even though the Etruscans were very skilled in the ways of artistry, they neglected to keep written records of their history. The only written history of the Etruscans is by the Greeks and Romans, however, they can be a bit misleading since they are written by people that were not a part of their society. Because of the lack of accurate historical documents, we must rely on archeological finds. Even this has proved difficult, since the Etruscan cities have always been populated. Historians and archaeologists rely on the ceramics, bronze work, tombs and cemeteries to tell us about the culture of the Etruscans.

...nderworld, was one of the popular deities depicted leading the chariot. Etruscan tombs were placed underground because they would, essentially, become the underworld. The entrance to a tomb became the door to the land of the dead. In this particular tomb, the entrance is guarded by lions, who watched over the the tomb. In the center of the tomb lies an image of Cerberus, the three headed dog, guardian of the underworld. Cerberus was a typical subject of interest in ancient Greek literature and artwork, and this belief lasted until the later Roman era. Besides Cerberus, the tomb also has a relief carving of a Scythian Dracaena. These were monsters from Greek mythology that had the body of a woman from the waist up, but the lower portion was of a dragon-serpent mix or a Drakon. Above these reliefs lies a carved bed of sorts, complete with pillows carved out of stone.
Perhaps the most notorious of burial practices originating in Egypt is that of mummification. Why such an extraordinary attempt was made to preserve cadavers may seem
This argument has been trying to settle people’s minds with coming to a conclusion of whether or not the athletes should be paid. Many people love college athletics because it is just that: college athletics. The bidding on March Madness made more money than bids that were placed on the Super Bowl this past year. People love to watch young stars develop into the greater athletes that they are capable of being. The amateurism of college sports is why so many people are drawn to it. If the athletes were to be paid, it would forever change the organization and how it’s run. College athletes are amateurs, not professionals; therefore they should not be paid.
First and foremost, college athletes could use money to pay off college expenses and injuries. The student athletes have two main jobs when in college one do good in your sport two get good grades. Since these tasks are the college athletes main job they have no spare time to get a job that actually pays money. Secondly, the NCAA admits that a full scholarship does not cover the basic necessities for college athletes (NCPA.) Though they admit to this, they do nothing to change it. The scholarship will not pay for the food or supplies that the athletes need to use. (NCPA.) Finally, no scholarship will pay for an injury an athlete may attain during the season. The athletes have to use their small amount of money they have saved up to pay for
College athletes should be paid because they are basically working for the school. When a student gets a scholarship to a college for a sport they are expected to practice with the team and without the team, so on their free time. College athletes go way over the maximum amount of hours they are allowed to practice with the team. A 2011 survey, from the article Should College Athletes Be Paid?, states “The NCAA has a limit of 20 hours of training per week, D1 football players on average practice 43 hours a week, baseball 42.1 hours a week, and men’s basketball 39.2 hours a week”(Walch). With
Emil Zatopek once said “An athlete cannot run with money in his pockets. He must run with hope in his heart and dreams in his head.” This quote applies to every college athlete. The quote means that an athlete may not be getting paid in college, but if they put in the hard work and dedication they can make it to the big leagues. College football is the second most watched sport in America. And the athletes playing the game do not even get paid a penny to play the game. In the sports world. this has been talked about for an extremely long time. College athletes put their body on the line for injury. They put their grades in on the line because of the hours they put on the court, or field (Keolanui). They also sell their apparel at the game and at stores and they get no money at all (Keolanui).
through scholarships, these scholarships will help them get money later on in life using their degrees. The podcast by Doug Merril also said "being a college athlete is a choice it defiantly isn't a mandatory thing." Becoming a college athlete is a decision each player has to make the individual player chose to play a particular sport this does not warrant the right for a player to get paid if they want to be paid be good enough to play after college
They work day in and day out to win for their schools. This subsequently earns their schools money. And yet the players have nothing to show for it. Also, most of the players that won’t make it pro will have worked all of their lives and not have a dime to show for it. They should get rewarded for their hard work. Also, the players who will go professional after their college careers just view college as one year for them to get hurt and lose their draft stock. Paying the players could possibly get players to stay one or two years longer in an attempt to make more money going pro. This would cause a ripple effect that would make the schools, leagues, and the NCAA to make
One reason that college athletes should be paid is because they earn their revenue that is distributed to coaches and colleges they represent. And is it not unusual to not even receive a little percentage of it. Major college sports earn around $11 billion dollars according to Marc Edelman who is an associate professor of law at Zicklin School of Business. According to Edelman, colleges that partake in college sports can earn up to $100 million in revenue. This revenue is used for paying coaches, college campus, and etc. This distribution of money is not wrong and has good intention. However, colleges spend too much on their expenses and don’t recognize the efforts of the athletes. For example, according Marc
A question that has been rising to the surface lately is “should college athletes be paid a salary?” One cannot get on the internet now a day and not see some kind of college sport headline. The world of college sports has been changed greatly the past decade due to college athletes. These athletes make insurmountable amounts of money and an unbelievable amount of recognition for the universities. The athletes that provide and make a ton of revenue for the colleges also spend a huge amount of their time practicing and staying committed to sports, and have to maintain good grades in school which requires quite a bit of overtime. Because college athletes generate massive amounts of revenue and put in massive amounts of personal time for their individual universities, colleges need to financially compensate players for their contributions. The colleges that these superstars represent are reaping all of the benefits of the accomplishments the athletes have, yet the big named players are making nothing from what they do.
College athletes are undoubtedly some of the hardest working people in the world. Not only are they living the life of an average student, they also have a strenuous schedule with their specific sport. One of the most discussed topics in the world of college athletics is whether or not student-athletes should be paid money for playing sports. The people who disagree with the idea have some good arguments to make. Primarily that the athletes get to go to school for free for playing sports. Another argument is that if student-athletes were to get paid then it would ruin the amateurism of college sports. People who are against paying the athletes do not want to see the young people become focused on money. “Paying student-athletes would dramatically shift their focus away from where it should be - gaining knowledge and skills for life after college” (Lewis and Williams). This is very understandable because one of the biggest reasons college sports are so popular is because the athletes play for school pride and for bragging rights. They play because they enjoy the game, not because it is their job. Most people that disagree with the idea of paying the athletes fail to realize what really goes on behind the scenes. At most Universities around the country the bulk of the income the school receives is brought in through the athletic programs. In fact the football and basketball teams usually bring in enough money to completely pay for the rest of the athletic programs all together. To get a better understanding of how much has changed in the world of college sports a little history must be learned.
College athletes work non stop to play professionally, when it reality most wont, but these college athletes should be compensated from the millions of dollars colleges make. It is understandable that they will receive payment when the go to the next level, but while they are in college they either need to set up a trust fund or receive direct payment from the big business that the NCAA is. They are commonly referred to as the “cartel.” (Louis Barbash). They receive this alias because they are in charge and have a lot in decisions colleges make. College athletes receive so much attention and bring so much to their schools that they should receive payment one way or another.
College athletes should be paid because of the hard work, dedication and effort they put into their respective sports. These athletes are a major source of income for their schools and they are not receiving a penny for it. These college athletes deserved to be paid, colleges are using these athletes to get money and they are never given anything but a pat on the back and a good job. College athletes work and train extremely hard to perform at the highest level possible. In most cases, they spend more time training and preparing for their sport than they actually do learning and studying. They put so much on the line to play and they get nothing in return. These college athletes literally make their schools millions of dollars every single year off of things like ticket sales and selling player merchandise. They can use these athletes for anything they want to while they are still enrolled in their sports program and that athlete is not allowed to accept any form of payment for what he contributed to that particular program and are given crazy looks when they even ask for it. Sports are an enormous source of income for many different colleges around the country and help keep these colleges afloat. Sports generate millions every single year, but where is all this money going if it is not going toward paying these athletes?
“A scholarship doesn't equal cash in a player's pocket. Even with any type of scholarship, college athletes are typically dead broke” (Hartnett). Being an athlete in college is as demanding as a full time job. They also have to put the time in to be a full time student as well. That is a lot of time they have to commit for their university. Additionally if the student does not come from a wealthy family or a family willing to give them money, he or she may also have to add on a part time job on to that if they ever want to do something fun on a day off or get some food from somewhere other than the dining halls. Even when a student athlete has a job, it is almost impossible for them to keep it during the season because of their demanding schedule, ...
They're college students and college student's don't know how to handle their money. They do not know how to manage their money and use it wisely. If college athletes are paid, there will obviously be a range in salaries of players. The college athletes would be paid accordingly to their position on the team and all of the college athletes would have different salaries and they would feel that it was unfair that one person would get paid more than another because of their position on the team. There would be problems between the players. If college athletes are paid for their work, thy may never have the incentive to go to class. Most college students can get paid to attend college but if the athletes already have money from playing the sport that they're interested in, they would never want to go to class. Plus, if college athletes were being paid, they may lose passion for the game and they may not perform as well. Most of the players would see that they were getting paid and they wouldn't care if they played their best because they would still be getting paid the same salary. The players would take on a mindset that they are professionals and they won't work as hard for what they are
Roman art was also deeply influenced by the art of the Hellenistic world, which had spread to southern Italy and Sicily through the Greek colonies there. The Etruscans and Babylonians can also be seen as inspirations. “With the founding of the Republic, the term Roman art was virtually synonymous with the art of the city of Rome, which still bore the stamp of its Etruscan art” (Honour and Fleming,1999). During the last two centuries, notably that of Greece, Roman art shook off its dependence on Etruscan art. In the last two centuries before Christ, a distinctive Roman manner of building, sculpting, and painting emerged. Indeed, because of the extraordinary geographical extent of the Roman Empire and the number of diverse populations encompassed within its boundaries, “the art and architecture of the Romans was always eclectic and is characterized by varying styles attributable to differing regional tastes and the...
