Cynicism Introduction: Who are the Cynics? The word “cynic” derives from Ancient Greek meaning “dog-like” or “dog”. The philosophy group of Cynics’ beliefs and actions resembles what a dog would think or do, because they live an indifferent way of life. Another way to put this is that the cynics sustained their human behaviour by the motivation entirely of self-interest. An example would be Diogenes of Sinope, who was a dominant figure of the story of Cynicism as there are many stories about his…

Even though they had won in a technicality, the costs were too high. Nobody till day do not understand how the winnings came. Some attributed it to divine intervention, but King Theodora knew better. What still pulled him is the sudden weakening of the enemy forces that helped him give that final crushing blow. It’s as if they lost their motivation just like that. Really strange.

Using these rather slippery ways of getting the money, Justinian began to gain enemies, and it wouldn’t be soon after that a rebellion would threaten his reign over the empire (Brooks, 2009).

For myself, picking a topic is one of the most challenging obstacles in writing any paper, story, or essay. I have so many ideas about so many different topics it 's hard to settle on just one. However, when it was brought to my attention that we would have to make a documentary to go with our paper, I could only think of one thing; the Dark Ages.
