That phrase that would pass through my head when I was a little kid, is now engraved in my heart and in mind. Because you were there for me every single step of the way in my life, as an inspirational American soldier…

I will now look at drop shipping which has been developed as a result of disintermediation. It is defined by (Shopify 2016) as “Drop shipping is a retail fulfillment method where a store doesn 't keep the products it sells in stock. Instead, when a store sells a product, it purchases the item from a third party and has it shipped directly to the customer. As a result, the merchant never sees or handles the product”.

What she fails to realize is that rather than putting an end to the cycle, she has become a part of it, as Orestes will return to Argos to avenge his father, foreshadowed by the Chorus at the end of the play.
