Throughout history, technology has shaped society as people know it to be; however, contrary to popular belief, the ways in which technology affects the groundwork of society is extremely limited.

There is a reason why a smile is a universal sign of happiness, and tears are a universal sign of pain; they’re emotions that people felt thousands of years ago and will continue to feel thousands of years from now.

At heart, Agamemnon is little more than a confused and self-centered child. The Achaean king refuses to acknowledge let alone accept that the authority-type position he finds himself in requires responsibility and that his desires and personal whims should be secondary to the needs of his community. We can see that, even in the beginning of The Iliad, Agamemnon often allows his emotions to govern major, country-altering decisions. Multiple times he refused to return Chryseis to her father. He…
