History

The Tower of London was built in the year 1078 by King William, Duke of Normandy.

This Tower is more than 1000 years old and is the oldest palace, fortress and prison in Europe. History tells us that King Edward of England failed to keep a promise to give his throne to William, Duke of Normandy but instead gave it to Harold Godwinson, his English brother in law.

William became angry and sent his army across the English channel to conquer England and on October 14, 1066 he fought with Harold and won the battle. Later that year on Christmas day, William was crowned King.

To keep the unruly citizens of  London in line,  he decided he needed a stronghold and so he built the Tower to act as his fortress.

With time, other smaller towers, extra buildings, walls, and walkways were added gradually transforming the original building into the splendid example of castle, fortress, prison, palace and finally museum that we enjoy today.

The Tower of London is a  tourists attraction today.

bixtya [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

According to Epicurus people need to have faith on themselves and avoid distrust or distress of sin, people need to focus on "karma" to be happy.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Epicurus argued that people would better practice religion by leading a life of self-sufficiency surrounded by friends. He explained that the source of all human neurosis is fear of death and a propensity for individuals to believe that death is going to be horrible and painful, which he believed causes massive distress, self-protective behaviors and hypocrisy.

The aim of philosophy for Epicurus has been to help individuals achieve a happy, peaceful life represented by ataraxia (peace and freedom from fear) and aponia (painlessness). He explained that humans behave ethically not because gods threaten or honor people for their beliefs, but because amoral behavior would stress them with shame and discourage them from achieving ataraxia.
