intimidate Telemakhos by saying; “No holding you! / You want to shame us and humiliate us, / but you should know the suitors are not to blame-- / it is your own dear, incomparably cunning mother” (II. 92-95). With this quote, Telemakhos only receives apathy from the suitors. Aside from the suitors, Telemakhos seeks sympathy from the rest of the crowd: “Friends, by Olympian Zeus and holy Justice / that holds men in assembly and sets them free, / make an end of this! Let me lament in peace / my…

expectations. Stage two is stagnation: when you feel that certain things are not being met such as low salary, and difficulties in providing client services.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the concepts of a healing hospital including, the necessary components, the…

I think this class helped clear up a lot of things that Americans tend to have a misconception about when it comes democracy and the citizen’s role in it. Democracy is about people participating and helping with the decisions on how the country is ran, but it does not necessarily require all of the people to participate as the country has just been working with a portion of the voting eligible population participating in elections and other activities. Some other misconceptions that were also…
