Since the 1700s, magazines have been an integral part of the media industry. However, it was not until the 19th century that they started taking the form that we recognize today. Previously, magazines looked more like newspapers-- they were shorter, black and white, and more text-heavy. This was because of the high cost of distribution (Tucker & Unwin, 2019).

In our generation, various different people see Shakespeare as either relevant or irrelevant.

I would sit in class looking at the work my teacher has assigned in confusion wondering how much longer I would have had to learn about Shakespeare. And as much as I hate to admit it Shakespeare does have some significance today as we...

Emotions are one of the biggest influences on a person’s decisions and can often alter one’s disposition. As stated in a manuscript submitted for publication in the Annual Review of Clinical Psychology, “Emotions are the dominant driver of most meaningful decisions”. This psychological phenomenon is apparent in various forms of media, including movies, television shows, and novels. In William Golding’s ‘Lord of the Flies’, a group of young boys crash-lands on a remote island. Without the guidance of adults or...

Edgar Allan Poe describes the feeling of guilt and fear through symbols in the stories ‘The Tell-Tale Heart’ and ‘The Black Cat’. For instance, the eye in each story symbolizes how the narrator views himself. However, the narrators are both seen differently. Additionally, the space beneath the floorboards and the space behind the wall both symbolize the subconscious. Although these areas are relatively similar, they refer to different significations. In both stories, these two pairs of symbols are presented, in...

They quickly developed a way to survive on this island by establishing rules which they must abide by. This false sense of civilization which the boys created...

Since the olden days, mankind has utilized storytelling as an attempt to expound on the intricacies of the world as it is. During the Stone Age, the Vikings used tales of Norse mythology, gods, and fabled monsters to explain the world. Similarly, modern man replicates this in the form of ‘godly’ heroes fighting against monstrous and villainous characters with unparalleled strength...

The debate about whether age is important for a relationship does not lose its relevance. Society is divided into two camps: some believe that the age difference does not harm the quality of the relationship, while others see it as a threat. As for me, I don't think age matters much in relationships, and in this essay, I'm going to argue my point. Some scholars who are for the age gap not being a barrier in marriage state that the...

The existence of paradoxical literature can be traced back to the birth of literature. However, there are works and instances in which paradox explodes and it is almost impossible to pass them. Virginia Woolf’s ‘The Death of the Moth’ is a paradoxical piece of such, and her analysis would obviously overflow the particulars of limits or descriptions of inventory. Based on the logical variety and vastness of Woolf’s recourse, it would only be proper to investigate how the writer manages...

Since the independence of America, the United States Bill of Rights in 1791 stated that “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed”. So, the concept of owning guns is very old, but it evolved since the last century because of the increase in crime with laws like the National Firearms Act ('NFA') or the Gun Control Act ('GCA'). However, gun...

South African women have been courageous across all racial lines. When Thabo Mbeki was still the president of South Africa, he stated that 'No government in South Africa could ever claim to represent the will of the people if it failed to address the central task of emancipation of women in all its element and this includes the government we are privileged to lead' (www.sahistory.org.za). This clearly shows that the 1956 march to Union buildings was not in vain. Men...

Broadly speaking, it is no doubt true that clinical psychologists come across the complexity of human nature through their practice every day (Forman, 2010). Human thinking and behavior are not something fixed. Biological, psychological, and social factors are combined together and interact with each other leading to unique results in clients’ lives. When people enter into therapy, regardless of their mental health issues, oftentimes their common aim is to eliminate their discomfort and distress and learn how to cope better...
