<span>I had this same question and this was the correct answer:
</span><span>Thee, Thou, Thy and Thine (You and Your)
</span>It’s a common myth that Shakespeare never uses the words “you” and “your” – actually, these words are commonplace in his plays. However, he also uses the words “thee / thou” instead of “you” and the word “thy / thine” instead of “your”. Sometimes he uses both “you” and “thy” in the same speech. This is simply because in Tudor England the older generation said “thee” and “thy” to denote a status or reverence for authority. Therefore when addressing a king the older “thou” and “thy” would be used, leaving the newer “you” and “your” for more informal occasions. Soon after Shakespeare’s lifetime, the older form passed away!

How does our perspective influence how we perceive different epochs, eras, turning points and "big history"?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

Everyone has their own perspective on historical events, epochs, and eras depending on their place in the world, their values and beliefs,  and their experiences. This is why people need to consider other people's ideas as well. Looking at things with only your own point of view can taint and prevent you from understanding historical events, epochs, eras, and even turning points. It is the job of leaders, civilians, soldiers, and law enforcement alike to be able to look back at historical events, era, and epochs, open-mindedly, instead of allowing only their perspective to cloud their interpretation. Btw the way Coach Walker will know if you cheated.
