Looking at ideas such as honor, sacrifice, gender, and modernity we will examine how peoples in these civilizations gave meaning to their everyday lives in the ancient, medieval, and modern worlds. Sometimes we will be looking at gladiators and assassins, while other times we will focus on women and the challenges they faced. In both cases, we will explore how people made sense of the world around them while living in these civilizations. Ultimately, we will call into question the meaning of civilization and the ways people developed an ideal, juxtaposing it to the lives they actually lived.
