Codependent No More

Sectionalism in nineteenth century America can best be defined through analogy. The root of all issues in America at the time was like a great chain constricting the country along the line geographically separating the North and South. The chain was made up of many links, both large and small, reflecting issues perceived by both sides of the tension. Though, regardless of size, each link played its part in further constricting all ties between the North and South until, eventually, the pressure…

work, there has been a significant gap in wages. Why? Because in the workforce, women are seen as delicate, stupid, and codependent. Women working full time in the United States typically were paid just 79% of what men were paid, a gap of 21% (aauw.com). That means is a man and woman working in the same field under the same employer, a man is paid 21% more than women. And even more disheartening, is the fact that it varies by state! 21% is an average! In the District of Columbia, women are paid…

In the same manner that the novel itself was symbolic, Fitzgerald 's characters were as well. The two main characters that were once separated by the barrier of money and social standing, Daisy Buchanan and Jay Gatsby, are genuine symbols of the codependent, yet doomed relationship of capitalism (Daisy) and consumerism (Gatsby) in America. Consumerism builds capitalism while capitalism ruins consumerists—an…

Each is codependent for each other. Gender equality and women empowerment are not new terms by any means. Depending on the countries the levels of all four variables have been based in countless countries’ traditional norms or changing norms. These four variables…

A person’s life experiences heavily influence the way one views the world, and it is safe to say that two people will never perceive something in an exactly identical manner. These differences make up the world, and add to the diversity of thought that belong to a work of literature. Virgil’s The Aeneid conveys a myriad of concepts, all of which are open to the reader’s personal interpretation. For instance, Robert Fagles, who translated Virgil’s epic, viewed it as a dedication to Roman…

In a time when the American War on drugs in frowned on in general disapproval by the public, the harmful and life altering effects of substance abuse goes frighteningly unnoticed or perhaps ignored by those who are blind to the widespread harm it can cause. While many people are unaware of the adverse effects that substance use can have on their body, mind, and spirit, some fall victim to a dangerous cycle of use that can leave them deprived of the naturally dependency-free luxuries that clean…

Matsudo, and Jackson 2015).

Falsification is the notion that, after a theory is created, a scientist must seek to disprove said theory; through such a process, refinement strengthens the theory as scientists remove more possibilities (Popper 33-39). As falsification theory does not prove that the previous model was incorrect, it provides a less emotional way for researchers to develop new ideas. Likewise, the natural sciences possess specific criteria which must be…

Social concern unavoidably started to emerge. Most of this spun around what turned out to be called the organic ideal. The organic ideal was a shared form of cultural opinions whereby civilization was perceived as and erected around a combination of codependent parts that prevailed in a social hierarchy positioned around harmony. Compliance, as seen in the organic ideal, was built on the spiritual reverence formed by church leaders. In each colony, the concept of a power structure was created…

are being oppressed and hated by a majority. People have been trying to fix these problems since World War II to no avail, and as long as people aren’t unified across the world, these problems will continue to exist. Once everyone in the world is codependent on each other, these problems go away because they are simply unable to happen, because if people start fighting, they cannot keep up their lifestyles because of their dependence. The Meursault character should be eliminated in the world,…
