Dependent variable (that I would like to explain) A great number of theoretical concepts and empirical studies in sociology point out that reaching of high educational achievement is predetermined by social origin (Boudon 1974; Bourdieu and Passeron 1971; Ditton 1992). Interesting is here the finding, that educational reproduction is influenced by school achievements only to a limited extent. In other words, the high achiever in educational attainment are not necessarily the high achiever in school grades (Jackson 2013). These findings...

There are not many positives in war. People die. It’s easy to get caught up in the belief that we are right and everyone else is wrong. Leaders can be convincing and this appears to have been a problem for the German people. They wanted to be told that they were superior, so they followed that lead. They lost a lot and I’m sure many of them were good people. After WW1, in Germany, many small, anti- Semitism extremist political...

This is one of those poems by Wordsworth which has rarely been a subject to any literary criticism. And probably the reason can be related to the amount of attention generally given to the Jewish Community in Europe. The title seems to be referring to the homelessness of the Jew Community because during the time of Wordsworth—the eighteenth Century—the Jew were the minority in England because most of the Jews were not allowed to live in England. This poem therefore...

In the play, Shakespeare uses a rhetorical question when Juliet states, 'What if it be a poison, which the friar Subtly hath ministered to have me dead?'

Is India really becoming intolerant? To discuss this topic, I first want to explain the meaning of the word ‘intolerant’. It means not to tolerate the views, behavior and beliefs that differ from your own one’s. Intolerance arrives when one person’s thoughts do not match with the other’s one or when things don't go the way you want them to be. Looking at the topic, I will try to see whether India is really becoming intolerant, or it’s just the...

In any case, in 2018, the deceivingly-named ‘Restoring Internet Freedom’ bill adequately revoked the first laws that instituted net neutrality in any case because of a move in political power among the FCC seats. Presently, in any case, Senate Democrats have presented another bill that could restore the web as a utility and set up the old standards back. It's a long, dubious political street, yet...
