Everyone in this world has their own culture and their own ideas about how the world should be. They have things that have been part of their customs for years or even thousands of years. These things are supposed to “keep us together.” (Bansal) But what happens when our cultures and ideas are challenged by new things that represent change. People start to get chaotic and immediately start rejecting something that they don't want to try or that doesn't feel right to them. Modernism is “a rational interpretation of religious, social and economic institutions and phenomena”.

We have to choose what we will follow and what we will not. In the Medea story, Medea was mistreated and used. Medea says that “all creatures that can feel and think, we (women) are the worst treated living things.” (Medea) Medea explains how women at the time were mistreated and not treated right. Women at the time were treated as a commodity rather than a human being, “we (women) offer the highest price in dowries only to buy a man to become dictator of our bodies…How this compounds the wrong!” (Medea) Some men in ancient times used the tradition to make money from their daughters and wives. Some men, if they don't find any used wives, leave them and find another one.
