However, he forced them back onto the ship. “I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships,/ tied them down under their rowing benches,/ and called the rest”. (lines

Apple: A Company to Praise or One to Fear Control; whether through blatant oppression or through subtle ruse of apparent generosity, truly free peoples must be ever vigilant in their efforts to guard against powerful forces bent on subjugating the weak or unaware. While no legitimate company is truly guilty of such intent, tactics akin to such efforts are certainly employed by many companies and often reveal a company’s true nature (Deutsch, 2005).
