So just because you are a gay man does not mean that you have to act feminine and the same goes for women. Just because a woman is a lesbian does not mean that acts…

in society, including literature, is a reflection of the class struggle that exists between the wealthy bourgeoisie and the working class, or the proletariat (“Marxist Criticism”). At first glance, Pietro di Donato, an Italian-American author and bricklayer born in West Hoboken, New Jersey in 1911 may not seem to have a lot in common with Karl Marx (Severo).

Dignified and Meaningful Work It is not uncommon to hear people complain about having to work in order to be successful in life. In theory, the thought of not having to work for anything sounds great. However, looking deeply into the fundamentals behind the idea, it is easy to see that such an initiative could never be accomplished. Karel Ĉapek discusses the idea of creating robots to do the work in place of humans in his 1921 play entitled R.U.R., an acronym for Rossum’s Universal Robots.…
