Iphigenia_And_Today

Iphigenia And Today Our society isn’t much different from the society of the Greeks. In many ways, we are just like them. News stories are given to us in a format much like that of an ancient epic. We are given the meat of the story before we even know how the conflict started, and we are later given the outcome. We can see this in the case of the World Trade Center attacks. We awoke to hear the news of the towers being attacked, but it wasn’t until much later that we found out how and why. We still have yet to hear the end of that story, and I believe it will be quite a while yet before we do. Also, much like the Greeks, we, as Americans, believe we are the best country in the world. Until September 11th, we thought we were untouchable, and now we know we are untouchable as our government tightens our boarders and begins to regulate our means of travel. This is because of our recent “Trojan Horse:” the men who hijacked the planes were all living within the US. This had made many people wander if we are too easy on foreigners who wish know, people, before, while, put, much, greeks, country, until, september, order, lives, god, given, first, believe, been, yet, world, ways, untouchable, troy’s, three, think, thing, story, society, out, now, news, myself, loyalties, later, just, important, hear
