People who are anonymous and whose lives are usually ignored in traditional historical accounts are no less important than more prominent individuals in influencing the flow of events. These ordinary, but often heroic, people are the focus of this course. Each of the 48 lectures looks at history from a nontraditional perspective, that of the weak and marginalized-- the poor, sick, disabled, and elderly, as well as the refugees, slaves, women, children, and common soldiers.

One such observation was when Garland talks about the large temples and public buildings of the Greeks and Romans noting that people took considerable pride in their buildings. Their first concern was that the building was grand and moved them beyond their own space. We see these ostentatious temples and buildings and immediately our awe moves to think what a waste as we criticize the hypocrisy of the system. They could have helped others or improved their own homes, which is another way of forcing our Western mindset upon them. We are so focused on condemning the system because it helps us not look at our own excessive individualistic hypocrisy. ( )
