Throughout history, art has been heavily influenced by sociopolitical and cultural events which have transpired within society. These events have had a notable influence on the genre and characteristics of art produced. For instance, the emphasis on religious subjects during the medieval era; was used to inspire pious living through religious indoctrination. During the Enlightenment, as scientific discoveries and inventions developed, reason informed man’s thinking rather than religion. This resulted in a contentious debate often represented through complex art subjects...

I chose to write about all these stories because they all have something in common about women empowerment. In Lauren Slater's story “Trouble with Self-Esteem” Slater argues that self-esteem is something we should get rid of. Slater believes that the view of self-esteem affects our society today. Slater states “That people with high self-esteem pose a greater threat to those around them than people with low self-esteem” (623-624). I think Slater has a good point I feel self-esteem is a...

Abstract Culture shock is “the impact of traveling from a familiar culture and trying to adjust to an unfamiliar one.” Something I experienced for the first time in my life. Leaving a carefree and independent life in America where everything is done the proper way, to thousands of miles away in India where everything was the complete opposite. The endless tray animals, the beggars, the insane long vehicle rides, the foul smell, and the extreme pollution are difficult to process,...

Walt Whitman’s quote, within the title of this essay, is in essence a look into the self and how the self is multidimensional. The two novels that I have been studying and will be exploring throughout this essay - Virginia Woolf’s Mrs Dalloway and Toni Morrison’s ‘Beloved’ - also explore the concept of the multitudinal self (although not influenced by Whitman’s work). Throughout this essay, the aim is to discover how exactly Woolf and Morrison present the ‘multiple selves’ within...

Introduction In today's world, firms are facing many challenges and are looking for ways to improve organizational performance by using human capital (Nguwi, 2012). Then employers are now turning to employee engagement to obtain committed and productive employees. Consequently, this has been done because it is difficult for top management to carry out successful decisions in the organization without involving employees in decision-making (Kersley, 2005; Dundon, Curran & Maloney 2006; Purcell & Hutchinson, 2007). Hence, this has inspired me as...

America has always been the target of many immigrants from the past and until now. It is considered to be the 'land of milk and honey' and 'land of great opportunities'. The national anthem of the country still rings the phrase 'the land of the free' which in reality attracts refugees and people who want to be liberated from the aggression and slavery of their own countries. For centuries, America became to be progressive not just financially, but intellectually and...

Toni Morrison’s critical approach, described in Playing in the Dark, often involves the scrutiny of the binary and the denaturalization of those racial binaries. In her novel Beloved, the racial binary is accompanied by the idea of family, where the dominant group can achieve the ideal family while the subordinate group cannot. As a form of othering, the white patriarchal structure marginalizes slave families by making it seem as though the heteronormative family structure—husband, wife, and children—is unattainable by them....

The differences between North and South India are very important, especially in the systems of kinship and marriage. Indian society is so multifaceted that perhaps no other major world civilization has ever heard of it. Indian society is as diverse as Europe,...

The witch, as the Puritans saw her/him, was ultimately a man-made creation synonymous with the supernatural, sorcerers, and ghosts. Salem was a quarrelsome village and less prosperous than Salem Town. The inhabitants were divided over almost everything -- the church, politics, where to divide the land, deaths, and an immense and irrational fear of the dense forest. This ultimately led to hysteria which manifested in the tragedy that would become the Salem Witch Trials. When discussing the question “What is...

It is a known fact that drug overdose deaths are on the rise. Based on research I have read, most addicts say they start with pills, turn to heroin, and die from the synthetic opioid painkiller fentanyl. Opioids are too accessible; other effective alternative pain management is rarely discussed as a treatment option. Other medications like Ibuprofen (Motrin), Acetaminophen (Tylenol), and Naproxen (Advil) are good effective options. Discussing these options and implementing them would drop the rate of drug addiction...
