The study of the ancient world through its languages, literature, culture and history shows that people grappled with exactly the same issues that we do: life, death, gods, sex, love, family, children, education, the nature of the world, our origins and development, the past, money, health, status, other cultures, friendship, power, patriotism, politics, law, crime, justice, empire and war. In short, Classical Civilisation lends itself well to interesting and engaging discussions directly relevant to todays world.
