The snow sprinkles down on the moonlit, winters night at the
edge of a snow covered Alpine forest. Peoples face tingle, and
their lungs feel refreshed. Clean scented air lls the land. This sen-
sation is unforgettable. Even the slightest breeze blows the spar-
kling white snowakes off the tree branches, as they each catch a
beam of moonlight, and look like ocks of tiny white doves swirl-
ing silently in the clear night sky. The many stars Twinkling snow-
akes lighting the ceiling of natures grandest cathedral. (The rst

CHAPTER I: MODIFICATIONS
Keep close to Nature's heart... and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a
mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.

years the basic of humans we need of food, water,
and shelter must be provided for. The frozen geogra-
phy of The Alpines presents the following chal-
lenges for its people:

SECTION 1
Lessons of Democracy
People today have learned a lot from the ancient civiliza-
tions, including Athens. Athens had a direct democracy, direct de-
mocracy is a form of democracyin which people decide (e.g. vote
on, form consensus on, etc.) policy initiatives directly, as opposed
to arepresentative democracyin which people vote for representa-
tives who then decide policy initiatives
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_democracy). This was
build of an assembly. The assembly was a group of 6,000 men. As
Frey states The Assembly met on a hill every 10 days. The as-
sembly debated and voted on laws proposed by the council,(Frey
261). Every single citizen had a right to vote. If not enough men

Chow-Bella Western Roma
The decline of the Western Roman Empire was due to many
problems, but the main cause was that Rome did not have politi-
cal stability. Sometimes the throne would be sold to the highest
bidder. Other times the emperors solders would decide. As it
states in the article Decline of the Western Roman Empire,
Gradually, the Praetorian Guard gained complete authority to
choose the new emperor and in 186 C.E., the army began to prac-
tice of selling the throne to the highest bidder. During the next 100
years, Rome had 37 different emperors 25 of whom were re-
moved from ofce by assassination. This contributed to the overall
weaknesses of the empire. This shows that sadly the Roman

SECTION 1
Belief Systems: This is aint Vegas baby
Belief systems are important because without one, the Alpines will
not thrive and more importantly will not survive. A civilization
helps corral the citizens, and they will ask themselves: is it right
what I am doing? Constanking (Constantine Mavromihalis) thinks
that without a strong belief system, the Alpines will not be success-
ful in their journey to thriving.

SECTION 1
The new ideas, questions, and ways of thinking of the hu-
manist mindset changed European society by leading to the way
advancements in art, creativity, social standing, among many
other things. People thought differently in the Renaissance times,
in part, because of the inuence of Humanist. For example, the
people of the Renaissance believed that everyone had the right to
have an opportunity to become successful. Europeans began to try
to balance religious faith with belief in the power of the human
mind. As Frey states, Renaissance thinkers prized individual
achievement more than persons class or family (321). Likewise
this shows that the Renaissance brought a whole new card to the
table. A lot of things changed. The new ideas, questions, and ways
of thinking of the humanist mindset changed the European society
