It was because of those generous, hospitable, and god fearing characters that Odysseus was able to survive throughout his rough journey on the wrathful sea. In her writing “What Pains are Fated to Fill Your Cup: The Role of Food, Drink, and Xenia in the Homeric Epics”, Amanda Urban states, “ This crucial moral principle was often exercised through the sharing of feasts, wine, and gifts between guests and their hosts. It is unsurprising then that The Odyssey is rich with examples: Odysseus, the…

fate the gods and will do anything for his city. In addition, an obvious section of propaganda is found in Book VI of the epic, when Aeneas accompanies the Sibyl down into the underworld to meet with Anchises.

power. These beliefs and their application have not proven easy to implement; yet the impact of these fourteen points can clearly be seen in American foreign policy from the Wilson presidency to today. It is difficult to fully understand why Wilson saw democracy as applicable world-wide. However, I believe that American exceptionalism, American values, and ethnocentrism played a strong role. American exceptionalism is the idea that the United States was founded on a series of beliefs such as…

fear the system. Nevertheless, I’m sure those elected for jury duty or even judges may be prejudiced against one or more distinct groups of people. No one can actually filter all bias. Yet, one can even go as far back as the Bill of Rights (Amendment VI) which says, “By an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime should have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law,” to find evidence that even our founding fathers wanted us to treat everyone…
