The Postmodern concept is like a beautiful…

The social “norm” is any form of intimacy, marriage, relationship, etc. between a man and a woman, but what occurs to those that break this “norm?” What occurs to those that freely express their love towards the same sex? Or both sexes? Although finding newfound freedom and having the ability to be who you are; the path of destruction always finds its way to those that are happy. Any form of love that isn’t heterosexual is frowned upon due…

a female stereotype would look like. She is not consumed by brands or materialistic ideals and instead, is a bookworm and doesn’t wear makeup. She is also disinterested in helping her friends find dresses for the school dance and cozies up in a bookstore instead. Another example of Bella defying female stereotypes occurs when she rejects Edwards marriage proposal. Bella refuses to marry Edward at such a young age, showing her independence. Bella may defy female gender stereotypes, but other…

Diesel engines contribute to about 52% of the vehicles on the road today and that number is only expected to go up. As the amount of diesel vehicles go up, the demand for technicians to work on them will raise as well. Not only do diesel engines interest me, but engines in general. So the time for me to pursue my career is…

doesn’t like academic reading all that much either, but he likes academic more than recreational reading.

Every time we start to read…

The experience at program Books to Prisoners (a program held by Left Bank Bookstore to help send free books to prisoners) also raised my attention to prisoners’ literacy that some of them could not use proper grammar, could not spell correctly, and/or had messy and illegible handwritings. Another finding at Books to Prisoners is…

Jeff Bezos started Amazon as an online bookstore, in Seattle, Washington in 1995. From the beginning, however, Bezos claimed that even though Amazon exclusively sold books, it was actually a technology company.
