Inequality headlines the media every day: racism, skin color discrimination, sexual preference, and gender. Women from the past, present, and future have been fighting against inequality. The Feminist Movement developed based on their battle for their right to be equal to males. In William Faulknerâs âA Rose for Emilyâ, the theme of gender equality can be seen through the townsfolkâs patriarchal mindsets, Emilyâs struggle to survive in this society, and how the lack of equality against women lead to Emily...

Samuel Longhorn Clemens, under the pseudonym Mark Twain, uses southwestern dialects and local vernaculars to create realistic characters that accurately reflect the people and familiar scenes of mid-nineteenth century Southern American life. In the stories âThe Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras Countyâ and âThe Mysterious Strangerâ Twain uses dialect and the local vernacular as a powerful instrument for deflating hypocrisy and pretension. Out of respect for the simple things, Twain chooses a plain style of clear writings that incorporates the...

In essence, âPorphyriaâs Loverâ is a controversial poem by renowned Victorian-era Romantic-style poet Robert Browning, published in 1836. Being a dramatic monologue, it creates the persona of an unreliable narrator. Also a social criticism, it censures the blatant discrimination of women.

Deconstruction theory, derived from the works of philosopher Jacques Derrida, is a theory of literary analysis that opposes the assumptions of structuralism. Its primary purpose is to discern the relationship between text and meaning. In performing this task, deconstruction theory is critical of the structuralist ideas of logocentrism and binary oppositions and instead seeks to understand the meaning as abstract and fluid. Deconstruction may be seen as a means to understand the relationship between text and meaning, institution and nature,...

No other writer was so good at distilling the political from the cultural as Tom Wolfe, who died in May at the age of 88. Whether dispatching the pretensions of modern painting (The Painted Word), architecture (From the Bauhaus to Our House), or radical grifters and their marks (Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers), Wolfe was adept at extracting how power worked to shape our physical and intellectual environments. Yet, as is so often the case with critics, his...

As a matter of fact, humans possess the potential to influence the behaviours and thoughts of others in a way that benefits themselves, and lets down those close...

When you look at the statistics on mortality rates over all mental disorders, statistics showing that Anorexia Nervosa has the highest mortality rate, it would be a reasonable assumption that it would have the highest funding for recovery treatment research. Unfortunately, this is nowhere near the case, and not only do they have the least recorded research, but one of the lowest rates of funding. It is important that psychologists reveal the quickest and most efficient recovery strategies for each...

Are their concerns over matters of economics relevant in our modern, technological society? They certainly are. Consider the disagreements between founding fathers Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. Hamilton and Jefferson were famous rivals, disagreeing...

In other words, do you assume that the behavior was situational (related to external...
