Classic and Contemporary

Comparisons.  What our perceptions of society are based on.  When faced with the assignment to create a compelling piece to compare contemporary and Classic ideas, I could have chosen any number of things: the perception of patriotism, womens' rights, capital punishment.  But all these comparisons are cliche, and do not represent society as a whole, and how it has evolved.  Instead, I chose air-travel as my subject: specific, yet it shows how society has moved from a prim and socially proper manner, to the freer codes of conduct that we enjoy today.
