History of German

            Germans religion is majorly that of worship of idols. They set apart woods and groves in whole where they name them and in contemplation they behold them. Mercury is among the highly worshipped god. There are those that are set apart for sacrifice such as the Hercules and the Mars gods. Priests of the society as well as the fathers of the family are responsible for carrying out of rituals such as consulting the gods who are represented in form of different marked woods gotten from a fruit bearing tree. Thus they relay the judgment of the gods. Chiefs are responsible for maintaining of law and order in the society[1]. They are responsible for prosecuting capital crimes and awarding punishments to the offenders. Citizens of this nation must uphold the laws of marriage and they all must apply good laws. Some of the people live together in cities and they are not victims of contingency. However, they are physically apart and also distinct and thus they tend to be socially distant. Social status in this society is witnessed in the difference I the mode of structure design for the houses and in the mode of dressing for these people[2].

            German has a different culture as compared to other places. Their way of doing things when it comes to marriage indicates that they greatly support monogamous marriage with a high value in matrimony. However, the value for women is minimal as they are expected to persevere even at times of war. Other societies have no high regard for marriage and they also have women empowerment campaigns which protect women against mistreatment and wars from their marriages.
