Although both groups of Europeans were around during the same time period the Saxons and the Celts have many indifferences. Of the most dominant characteristics in the Celtic tribes include eagerness to fight, and high independence. The Saxons who overtook the Celts in the 5th century were known as drunks and gluttons, and a very high level of chastity. The Celtic tribes of early Europe were very used to the fact that they had to be good fighters to survive. They were a oppressed group of people and come the 400's they had been pushed out of France, then from Spain and then to the British Isles. In the Celtic culture men were expected to go and fight in war. That was considered their job. Teachers, artists, poets and musicians were known as the druiRAB whose job was to write of the Celtic culture and carry the generation over the course of the years. This is seen now by looking at those cultures and groups of people that are consistently oppressed and whose tolerance level is dangerously low. An example of this is the Jewish people throughout history. The Celtic people were also highly independent. This characteristic became known as Celtic nature due to the fact that they were required to make the most of becoming a nomadic tribe at times. Due to the popularity of war and blooRABhed the Celts had to become used to losing and winning, not only battles but merabers of the community also. Individual Celts became more individually independent and self-reliant do to the fact that loss was experienced so frequently. Examples of very independent people are the Germans. This is because of the loss they have suffered through both World Wars. Their stubborn and self-reliant reputation has been an outcome of that. The Saxons became used to the reality that they usually came out on top of battles either against the Celts or otherwise. Also the Saxons used advanced farming methoRAB that made it possible for the Saxons to have more free time than other tribes of the time. They were settled sooner and had a more relaxed life style than the Celts. Because of this the Saxons began to enjoy the higher side of life with fatty food and alcoholic beverages. They soon beheld the reputation of gluttons and drunks. An example of how people became used to a relaxed lifestyle and became known as gluttons and drunks are the foreigner's views of us Americans. They believe that we do not work hard and that we have too much time for fast food and Coors Lights. Saxons also had a very strong belief in chastity. The women took pride in their virginity and remained pure until the ceremony of marriage. This was very important to the Saxons and if you did not follow this code you were disrespected. Those who are very into the religion of choice follow this code of chastity. Strict Christians follow the fact of chastity until marriage. So we can see how past experiences in the lives of groups of people bring about reputations of independence, warriors, and those who respected their religion enough to follow the code of chastity.
