In ancient Rome times there were circuses held to bring entertainment to the citizens. These events were free so thousands of people attended them. In these events, they had special people performing, they were called gladiator. Gladiators are people forced to fight with each other and animals. Gladiators were slaves, criminals and Christians. Gladiator fights were held to distract the masses (common people) from problems in Ancient Rome. Today there are many ways that Americans get distracted from real problems in the U.S. some of them are: watching TV, shopping, music, clubs, cars, and video games. We think that Americans today are not different from the Romans because we both enjoy violence and use appealing things to distract us from what is really happening worldwide.
