I wish that whomever finds this letter will read it and share it with your people. This letter, I hope, gives you insight into these troubled times we’re living in. As a women, gender inequality has been brought to my attention many a time. In an earlier letter that I wrote to my husband John Adams, I stated “...by the way in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would Remember the Ladies.” I talked about this in my letter because in that time I was one of the only women who was speaking up about my own rights.…
Encountering with The Screwtape Letters was somewhat difficult for me to figure out who the characters were. I first thought that Screwtape was a good guy who was trying to teach Wormwood about Christianity. Later on, I noticed that I was tricked by Screwtape. Screwtape was actually a devil who sends his advice letters to his nephew, Wormwood. Screwtape sends a letter to Wormwood in a purpose of advising him about how to convert the Patient from Christianity.…

Screwball comedy attempts to invert these several characteristics of film noir in order to create a more light-hearted approach to filmmaking. Like film noir, screwball comedy is an American genre that became popular during the Great Depression. Its purpose was to instill a feeling of hope within the audience through its romantic storylines. As film noir did, screwball comedy provided an escape for Americans. However, in screwball comedy, they look at the bright side in film noir, the characters are more brooding.…
“Because women's work is never done and is underpaid or unpaid or boring or repetitious and we're the first to get fired and what we look like is more important than what we do and if we get raped it's our fault and if we get beaten we must have provoked it and if we raise our voices we're nagging bitches and if we enjoy sex we're nymphos and if we don't we're frigid and if we love women it's because we can't get a "real" man and if we ask our doctor too many questions we're neurotic and/or pushy and if we expect childcare we're selfish and if we stand up for our rights we're aggressive and "unfeminine" and if we don't we're typical weak females and if we want to get married we're out to trap a man and if we don't we're unnatural and because we still can't get an adequate safe contraceptive but men can walk on the moon…

How Racial Humor Facilitates Racial Interaction Berger has once said that, “since the first men and women noticed they were different from the second, and ethnocentrism and a sense of ethnic identity appeared, ethnic jokes have been popular” (53). Ethnic humor has been one of the most frequently used comedic techniques. It not only appears in all kinds of comedic forms but also regularly pops up in daily life, especially in countries that are racially and ethnically diverse like the United States. There are negative remarks toward racial humor from academia. David Benatar, for example, has said that, “Stereotyping involves viewing, judging, or regarding individuals not in their own right but in terms of a set of attributes they are presumed…
The current study examines what, if any, effects law school has on individuals’ sense of humor, both in the short-term and in the long-term. I start by reviewing what past research has reveled in regards to the relationship between law school and overall well-being. I then briefly touch upon the work that has been done on the relationship between well-being and humor. I posit that this study will coincide with the previous research that has been done on law school and well-being, and will expand upon the relationship between law school and humor. If the hypotheses lend true, this study will show the negative effect that law school has on sense of humor and how this persists into the future.…
When it comes to the category of humor targeting religion, many would call it a taboo.

We’ve all been subjected to religious jokes, whether we’re the ones telling them or the ones being laughed at. Some of the greatest of all comedians – Joan Rivers, Robin Williams, Chris Rock, Conan O’Brien, Tina Fey, Chelsea Handler, have all utilized religion in their acts and used it to push boundaries in some of their most famous punch lines. Humor is a tool used to discuss, poke fun, and lift spirits about more serious topics in life.…
