I believe that the designation of 'greatness' in historical figures is often subjective and influenced by cultural perspectives. Many individuals labeled as 'great' may have achieved significant accomplishments but also engaged in morally questionable actions or held views that are now considered problematic. This complexity suggests that greatness can be a double-edged sword, reflecting both admirable qualities and troubling legacies. Ultimately, evaluating historical figures requires a nuanced understanding of their contributions and the context in which they lived.

How for do you agree that people from history considered 'great' rarely deserve the title?

I agree to a significant extent that many individuals labeled as "great" in history often do not deserve the title when scrutinized closely. Their legacies may be marred by moral failings, oppressive actions, or a narrow focus on personal ambition over the greater good. Furthermore, historical narratives are often shaped by those in power, which can lead to a glorification of figures whose actions had detrimental effects on marginalized communities. Ultimately, the complexity of human behavior complicates the simplistic categorization of greatness.

Is 1994 considered the early 90's?

No. 1994 is considered mid-'90s with 1995 and 1996. The exact middle of the 1990s is January 1, 1995. That implies 1993 is as close to the middle as 1996. (This is why 1993 is also sometimes considered mid-'90s.) And it implies 1994 is as close as 1995 to the middle. If you're dividing the '90s between early and late, and not considering a middle, then you'd place 1994 in the early section. (The early '90s would thus be 1990 to 1994, and the late '90s would be 1995 to 1999.) But this is rarely done.


Did people in the middle ages leave their village often?

Very few people traveled long distances. Most villages were one or two days travel from a market town, and occasional trips to sell surplus agricultural goods and to buy items not available in their home village would have been made. Beyond that, the common villager rarely traveled. Such travel was expensive, dangerous, and would keep people from their necessary labor.
