Answer:
O They believed that the gods often punished people for acting badly.
Explanation:
Homer's epic narrative poem <em>The Odyssey</em> tells the journey of Odysseus from after the Battle of Troy and his journey back home to Ithaca. The whole book covers the decade long journey, along with numerous encounters with the gods and monsters alike.
The given excerpt from Book IX of the poem is when they were treated with great winds by Zeus after they attacked and killed the people of Cicons. Odysseus admits that from that point onwards, their journey was met with numerous natural obstacles that the god Zeus seemed to have sent to 'attack' them, punish them for their bad deeds. <u>This event shows that the ancient Greeks believed that people were often punished by the gods for any bad acts or deeds they may have done.

Concerns about the adoption of Western culture among youth and adolescents.
Response to the article "Western influence on youth today"
Dear Editor,
In reading the article and evaluating the influence of Western culture in our society, especially among young people and adolescents, I could not help noticing how it can be harmful to our society.
With the intense adoption of factors of Western culture by our youth, I am concerned that our own culture and customs are abandoned and forgotten over time. With that in mind, I believe that the best way is to make the concepts of our culture attractive to young people in our society, mainly through articles and artistic presentations, which not only show the value of our culture, but show young people how important it is respect and admire cultures from other regions without abandoning ours.
