 * What Does it Mean to be Civilized? **

// Things Fall Apart // was published in 1958, but its message is still relevant in today’s world. Achebe depicts an Ibo village and the disastrous consequences when one society imposes its beliefs on another. The lessons from this experience are critical in addressing this project’s **//essential questions//**: What does it mean to be civilized? Have “we” really changed?
