Societies over the ages have called into question the basis of reality and how things came to exist.

Mathematics can be extremely complex at times, yet I love the satisfaction of ending the problem with the correct answer. The joy of completing a particularly hard question, or the sudden realisation of a particular topic making perfect sense, makes the challenge and the hard work worth all the frustration and dedication put into it. Studying maths at A-level has been the most enjoyable and fulfilling part of my sixth form years, and the logic and reasoning required for the...

During the reign of Mao Zedong, there was no need of a secret police, because there was enough hatred among the people themselves. This was true indeed, and all this was very much encouraged by Mao and his propagandists. They not only spread their ideas by putting up wall posters, broadcasting radio programs and showing propaganda films, but they also organized discussion groups, accusation groups, story-telling groups and memory meetings that people had to attend. This naturally enforced the communist...

The narrator Gulliver in Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, has long been a subject of interest for literary scholars, as he is not a character who develops or acts effectively and self-reliantly, but because he is strictly a means used by Swift to serve “larger satiric purposes” (Rawson 73). Jonathan Swift puts immense dynamism into characterizing his narrator and making his unreliability apparent to the reader, even before he starts reading the book. Swift picks the telling name “Lemuel Gulliver”, signifying...

For this reason, the fashion industry and models have heavily influenced younger generations and most of the time that influence didn’t have a positive impact...

I have not prepared for life or even college in the most traditional manner: I didn’t always have a place to call home, I didn’t have happily married parents, I didn’t have a town that I could grow up in; rather I lived in and out of different homes, I was raised by a single mother, and moved to a new school every year (sometimes more). But, I was also born with everything: a mother that loved me, people who...

Though the idea was initially scorned by some, such as Indian nationalist and spiritual leader Mahatma Gandhi, who preferred the small-scale handicraft of earlier centuries, the concept soon took hold. Before long, industrialization spread from its origin, Britain, to countries as far away as the United States. The Industrial Revolution took place between the years...
