When reading into any great philosopher it is a given that there are going to be different ideas, writing styles, and ways of viewing the world. But what influences those ideas? The issues in society (like racism) can be traced into even the most enlightened peoples work. Another example of how things have changed is before in writing only "he" was used, females weren't usually talked about in earlier writings. Now in almost every writers work both woman and man are talked about in their written text. But a newer influence of society that has infected writers in the bi-est look at Mideastern people after 9/11. In our society still we look at people from the middle east as the bad guys and the people that shouldn't be allowed on a plane. Even though most of them do not practice in the harsh beliefs of terrorism, we still look at them as though they did something wrong. This belief can even be traced in our text of the modern age.
