Fall 2018: Citizens
​The citizen student

Our Topics: 
Women's Rights - Wealth - Color - Religion
Bravery - Jealousy - Trade - Language
Leadership - Historical Accuracy - Women Rulers - Stories

  1. Women's Rights: The struggle for women's rights has continued over the centuries, with considerable progress being made in areas like education, voting rights, work equality, and reproductive rights. However, despite these achievements, inequality and discrimination still persist in many parts of the world. As the fight for women's rights continues, it proves that the topic has indeed stood the test of time.
  2. Wealth: Wealth has been a central part of societies across history. The desire to accumulate wealth and the issues arising from wealth disparities have remained constant. With the growth of capitalism and the ever-increasing wealth gap, the concept of wealth has proven to withstand time, albeit with its fair share of criticisms and calls for reform.
  3. Color in Clothing: The use of color in clothing is a concept that has also withstood the test of time. From the vibrant dyes of ancient civilizations to the complex color symbolism in the Middle Ages and the Victorian era, to the diverse color palettes of modern fashion, color continues to play a vital role in self-expression and societal norms in clothing. Trends in colors may change with seasons and over time, but the importance of color in clothing design and personal style remains. It continues to be used to signify cultural traditions, social status, personality, and more. The technology and methods of dyeing have drastically evolved, making a wider array of colors more accessible. However, the significance and impact of color in clothing remains a constant.

  4. Religion: Religion has been a fundamental part of human societies for thousands of years and remains so. Despite secularization in some parts of the world, religion still plays a significant role in many people's lives and continues to influence global politics and societies.
  5. Bravery: The concept of bravery, courage, and heroism has always been admired and sought after. Whether in times of war, social conflict, or personal trials, the value placed on bravery remains high. The definition and expectations of bravery may evolve, but the concept itself remains timeless.
  6. Jealousy: Jealousy as an emotion has been a part of human experience for as long as we've been around. It's an emotion that often stems from a fear of loss or comparison, and it continues to be a common theme in literature, movies, and everyday life.
  7. Trade: Trade has been an essential component of human societies, driving the development of civilizations, fostering cultural exchange, and shaping economies. Despite changes in methods and commodities, the concept of trade has withstood the test of time, with globalization making it even more central to our lives.
  8. Language: Language, as a means of communication, is as old as humanity itself. Even as specific languages evolve, disappear, or emerge, the overall concept of language remains constant. It continues to be a vital aspect of culture, identity, and interaction.
  9. Leadership: The need for leaders to guide, inspire, and make decisions is a timeless concept. The characteristics desired in leaders may change with cultural shifts and historical events, but the importance of leadership in societies remains.
  10. Historical Accuracy: The importance of historical accuracy has always been important and remains so. There is ongoing debate about the interpretation and representation of historical events, leading to a growing emphasis on revising history to include diverse perspectives and untold stories.
  11. Women Rulers: The history of women rulers dates back thousands of years. Even though societies have often been patriarchal, women leaders have emerged throughout history. Today, there's an increasing recognition of women leaders in politics, business, and other sectors, demonstrating the endurance of this topic.
  12. Stories: Storytelling is a fundamental part of human culture, used for education, entertainment, and preserving traditions. While the mediums and genres may change with technological advancements, the art of storytelling and its influence on human understanding and empathy continue to stand the test of time.
