End Of The Book Odyssey Odysseus
1,116 wordsIn the Odyssey, written by Homer, Odysseus learned a lot about himself and what he had to do to become a better overall human.

While he was a beggar, the suitors treated h...

Socialism And Communism Britain And France
598 wordsCrosland still argues that equality is still an important socialist ideal but a change in the capitalist system has forced socialists to change their focus. Economic equality and the redistribution of wealth will no longer result in greater overall equality.

However, he does go on to admit that this idea is still quite liberal but that most liberals would agree th...
