I disagree with G. Wilson Knight’s claim that Claudius was not a plausible villain. First, I disagree with Knight’s claim that: “Like Stavrogin, he [Hamlet] is feared by those around him.

Multiculturalism can be seen in all aspects of life, including university education. With increasing minority populations at colleges across the nation, an education in diversity becomes more important. Promoting an education in diversity in university life and cultural…

However, one factor that is not normally stressed is politics: whether the quality of government influences people’s happiness and whether the implementation and enforcement provide more satisfaction to the general public are open to interpretation. Derek Bok illustrates how political factors impact happiness in the United States and discusses potential policies that can be implemented to promote happiness through his The Politics of Happiness (2010). He reveals that the happiest, if also the…
