According to an article on nccp.org “More than 16 million children in the United States – 22% of all children – live in families with incomes below the federal poverty level – $23,550 a year for a family of four.

    It is a known fact that both men and women had different tasks in society. In both plays “A Doll’s House” and “Trifles”, it is obvious how women are not treated as equals by the men. The play “A Doll’s House”, which takes place in a small town in Norway, tells the “happy” life of Nora and her husband, Trovald. Then the other play “Trifles”, which takes place in Nebraska, USA, tells how the men, and the women accompanying them react differently to the life the murder suspect lived. Even though these two plays are in different continents, it is easily noticeable how men look down on women.…

    From my understanding, the ways that Betye Saar's painting relates to Ani's work in the African utamawazo’s theory of humanness is by reiterating Ani’s point when she says that “We, as humans, are not whole beings, but rather made up of parts that are in continual conflict with one another”. Ani believes that human beings are cosmic beings that interact with other beings in the cosmos. She says that humans are the subjects of the cosmos and are affected by the environment that they live in. And in the painting “Black Girl’s Window” by Betye Saar, the clear interpretation of African Utamawazo’s Theory of Humaness can be seen. In Betye Saar’s painting, she displays the different parts of life that conflict with one another and how all of these…

Through the way she portrays herself throughout the movie compared to the other characters, she seems to think she is better than everyone else, making her seem as if she has a narcissistic personality.
