.... communal living in an attempt to overcome the sense of isolation sometimes felt in the modern communities, where contact with neighbors is often minimal” (Doug Adams, Sociology Dept). Living in close quarters always has some advantages and disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage is compromising with your privacy.

.... to that our images and expectations of and families are constantly changing within society. As a child my outlook on was very simple. My example came from the corny television shows I would watch with my baby-sitter after school, until my mother remarried. Then we became a very close knit family. My mother quit her job and became a stay-at-home mom. She was the one who made sure the homework was done, our chores got completed before we went out to play, and we were yelled at when necessary.

.... product or service The firm chooses to specialize in a single product, product line, or service. It plans to do one thing with great effectiveness and efficiency. This specialization allows an organization to do whatever it does extremely well, perhaps even better than other organizations. Used mostly by small organizations, it reduces the amount of resources required and as such is a low risk strategy. However, it ties up all of the firm's resources on a single product, service, or product line. The firm's success and growth is dependent entirely on that particular product with nothing to fall back on were that product to fail. Also, coupled with the facts th .....

.... to change that which is beyond their control, they often fail and make the matters even worse than before as expressed by the authors of the three plays. When Oedipus was born to Laius and Jocasta, their happiness was interrupted by a horrible prophecy: Oedipus will kill Laius and marry Jocasta when he grows up. The mood in Thebes changed from joyous to somber for the king chose to have his own son killed so that he could remain alive. Considering the situation from Laius’ point of view, it is not difficult to understand his actions but the mere fact that he tried to challenge fate causes his actions to seem ironic and cynical.
