truth. For most of Oedipus' life, he was innocently under the firm impression that his parents were Polybus and Merope. However, in an oracle proclaimed to Oedipus by the gods, it was predestined that he would kill his father and commit an act of incest with his birth mother. With fear and determination to stop and keep that from happening, Oedipus relocates far away from his "parents". Oedipus publicly declares that the murderer of King Laius will be found, the prophecy will be fulfilled, and…

Donald Trump was suddenly claiming Hillary Clinton as the absolute worst Secretary of State to date! Yet, this has become a practiced tradition, even Thomas Jefferson’s presidency was claimed to consist of murder, robbery, rape, adultery and even incest by John Adam supporters.

It's 2017. The world has come a very long way for women in just over 100 years. You can vote; run for government; head global corporations. Women going to university is no longer seen as something unusual, it's not something they are fighting for anymore, it's perfectly normal. You can be surgeons, scientists, actors, astronauts, singers, painters. You can basically do anything men can do, and some things that they can't. You can do all these things; but apparently, you can’t but trusted with…

For example, the Canaanites were even more sinful than the Israelites. They engaged in bestiality, incest, and even child sacrifice. Deviant sexual acts were the norm. The Canaanites’ sin was so repellent that God said, “The land vomited out its inhabitants” (Leviticus 18:25). Even so, the destruction was directed more at the Canaanite religion than…

“No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her own body. No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother.” (Lader, 18) This quote by Margaret Sanger shows the opinion of the Pro-Choice stance on Abortion.

Later, Oedipus again displays his blatant arrogance by ignoring the prophets warning of incest when “he received the throne of Thebes and the hand of the widowed queen, his mother, Jocasta.”( Britannica).
