This phrase is attributed to Protagoras, a pre-Socratic Greek philosopher. Although the phase is open to interpretation, one of its possible meanings is the fact that humans are at the center of all existence. Moreover, human perception is the standard of objectivity by which everything else is measured. Therefore, this phrase implies that there is no "force" or "being" outside of humans that can provide us with answers to the questions of existence.

This view is closer to that of Greek religion than to that of Hebrew religion, Judaism. Judaism believes in an <em>objetive</em> truth and <em>objective</em> moral rules, contained in the Torah. Moreover, Jews believe that there is one single God, which is omnipotent and all-knowing, and therefore truth emanates from him and not from men.

On the other hand, Greek religion contains many different gods, all of which are imperfect. This suggests that the behaviour or "teachings" of the gods cannot provide us with an objective truth. Humans need to create their own moral codes and their own assumptions about the world in order to establish their societies. Moreover, gods participate very little in human life and when they do they often create chaos or are defeated, suggesting that gods are fallible and cannot control the whole world. These assumptions mean that Greeks believe humans are significantly autonomous and independent from gods, allowing them to believe that they are at the center of all knowledge and experience.

Read the excerpt from Citizenship. Before women were allowed to vote, both men and women organized, protested, and marched. Fina
brilliants [131]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not attach the excerpt of the book or a link to it.

However, although you forgot to include this important information, we can help you with the following comments.

The example could support the author's main purpose in the book -like other similar books- in that it shows the long and difficult road that passed before the federal government could grant women the right to vote.

It is true that before women were allowed to vote, both men and women organized, protested, and marched until the 19th Amendment to the Constitution gave women the right to vote in 1920.

We can refer to history and focus on the beginning of the women's suffrage movement that started during the Seneca Falls Convention of July 1848, in Seneca Falls, New York. An event organized by Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Staton. That long was the road to the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution.
