Greek, and by what images and ideals they were to live their lives and organize
their societies. Most societies derive consensus from a long

of immigrants, coming fr A. the absence of a common religion and ancestry B. the multiracial constituents of the US society C. the want of a shared myths they possess in life D. the counterbalance to narcissistic personality
