If Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Diogenes of Sinope all have come into our time zone especially in America and saw the lifestyle we are living, they would all have different opinions on the way things turned out. Some things are good and some are bad, but for sure they would all be shocked of the modern society just like anyone would be to see a new world in front of them. It’s like us going to a new planet or waking up a few thousand years from now and having the same mentality. I will start…

Most past research has either illustrated or assumed image of…
