People are born into a custom that originated from their parents. Living in a diverse world, there are multiple cultures surrounding you on a daily basis. It is hard, when interacting with new traditions, to keep your heritage original.

The interpretive concept of human agency is a topic greatly referenced to by Homer in the Iliad. Agency can be defined as the capacity to act in ways that matter, insofar as they act autonomously and without the determining of outside forces (gods, force, fate, etc). Reason, deliberation, and judgments are traits needed to assert free will, and in the Iliad many characters do not exercise them fully due to divine intervention. Such passage where we can see conflicting human agency at play is Book

Theoretical Perspectives Although there are many ways of categorizing approaches of child labour, review of literature on the issue reveals that the most commonly used approaches can be described in terms of four general perspectives.

It is the eternal struggle between our kinder impulses of peace,law, and order and our primal instincts of savagery, violence, and chaos.

In William Golding's premier novel he explores the epic struggle between the best and worst of human nature. The novel begins with the group of boys trying to set up order
