Answer:

Iliad is about revenge, war and forgiveness.

Explanation:

Iliad is a poem that is written by a Greek poet, Homer. The revenge is shown in many parts, along with the part where Achilles stops to fight in order to get revenge against Agamemnon. Achilles vowed that he will get revenge for the death of his best friend and brother, and he fought against his killer, Hector. Revenge is almost always accompanied by forgiveness. Eventually, Achilles got his revenge for his brother's death but it doesn't bring him peace and comfort. He sacrificed to the Gods the body of Hector and even after his death, he couldn't reach the inner peace he expected he would get and erase the pain that he felt. Hector's father, King Priam came to him and begged him for his dead son's body. At the end, Achilles felt sympathy because it was his fault that someone lost a son. When he gave Hector's body back, it brought him a piece of comfort. Through the whole book, Achilles was showing no mercy against anyone and he was removing anybody that got in his way. As it always happen, in the end, things turned around unexpectedly. He found peace within his enemy's forgiveness. This book is an important historical gem and every person can learn something from it. It doesn't matte how bitter, angry, disappointed we get, we never know where we will find our closure, peace and forgiveness.

adoni [48]

The answer is Humanism or Humanistic Psychology. It is a psychological standpoint that stresses the study of the whole person. Humanistic psychologists look at human behavior not only through the eyes of the spectator, but through the eyes of the person doing the behaving. They believe that a person’s behavior is associated to his inner feelings and self-image. Not like the behaviorists, humanistic psychologists think that humans are not only the product of their environment. They put emphasis on characteristics that are shared by all human beings such as love, grief, caring, and self-worth.
