religion’ is a god that demands virtue and constant questioning from human beings unlike the god of Athens, which teaches clear ideas of what virtue is and claim that you need gods to achieve it. For instance, the gods of Greek religion are gods one could barter with to get what you wanted in tough situations, yet the Socratic god can only do as virtue dictates and grants special treatment to no one. I believe that the patent hubris involved in claiming humans do not need help from the gods…

Sigil: the City of Doors. Considered by some to be the jewel of the Outlands, the nexus of power of the multiverse, a place of great beauty or ugliness. Every day in Sigil, deals are made that seal the fate of hundreds and thousands, negotiators barter for peace in the Blood War, and factotums seek the truth to the meaning of everything. People die, ideals are born, and great power is wielded with the flick of a finger. Sigil is a place of contradictions. It’s the centre of an infinite…

Between 200 BCE and 200 CE, the two leading empires in the world were China and Rome, due to their widespread and rapidly expanding territories.

taken on the tasks that coordinated best with the demands of childcare. Such tasks are generally dull and do not require deep concentration, they can be easily interrupted and resumed. Gathering and basic gardening, cloth-making and small-scale local barter and trade fit these requirements. The main way to cope with an increasing population is for part of the group to split off and move to a new area, spreading and learning new ways of doing things. Another way would be to increase food…

her traumatized (Morrison 19). After this experience and many others she is “emotionally [dissociated]” from her body (Horvitz). One instance where her lack of respect to herself is displayed is when Sethe wants to bury Beloved properly, so she “barters her body [with the stonemason] for the one word” to be written on the baby’s tombstone (Wolfe). This demonstrates how she has no issue giving away her body by prostituting for a single word to be written. This lack of regard is consequently due…

Sherman Antitrust Act because the Sherman Act was to broad. Most courts were allowed to self interpret what the Sherman Act actually meant. The Clayton Antitrust Act found it illegal to diminish the fees of products to beat out the other rivals, barter privately, and any other types of fee deductions (“Clayton Antitrust Act”).

her father. Achilles is taken aback at Agamemnon’s proposition but, “Achilles does not consider his feelings towards Briseis but regards his loss of her as significant because of the insult to his honour, as he did in book I,” (Farron 27). These men barter the women as objects not considering them as people. There was a point when Achilles felt a love for Briseis, but now he only acts thinking of himself. Taken at face value this relays the message of women being used as pawns in ancient…
