Today’s United States is probably the greatest country on the planet. But America’s rise to the top didn’t come easy. We didn’t get our independence by sitting down and having it given to us. We had to fight for it and then after that, we had to work hard to make America the way it is today. Without someone doing their job at every single level, America would still be just a normal country. In Alduous Huxley’s Brave New World this remains true. From the highest class to the lowest class,…

Othello, the Shakespeare’s famous play shows how the love turned by unfounded…
