There are many ways a person can be happy, but discovering what way is best for you can be complex and hard to determine. Countless views, theories, and definitions exist to try to define happiness for everyone collectively. However, I believe that happiness is a principle you must define for yourself according to your own thoughts and experiences. In this paper, I will develop my own definition of happiness through analyzing a personal assessment of what one should do to increase happiness. I…

Cultural and societal identities have been characterised throughout history using a variety of mediums. As illustrated by many authors; such as Roy, Barker or Barnes, the written word, can be among the most powerful form of rhetoric, giving society the “stamp” of identity as chosen by the author. Culture and society can be described as the defining expression of our identity, national or otherwise. Group identity begins with the basic patterning of social cohesion such as inherited knowledge,…

The consensus that ‘sex’ refers to biological components that define men from women while ‘gender’ refers to cultural constructs influencing masculinity and femininity is groundbreaking. Distinguishing ‘sex’ from ‘gender’ has cultivated radical ramifications that have reshaped studies of the human body and behaviour - particularly in the fields of anthropology, and science: both medical and social. This understanding provides an intellectual foundation to pioneer human studies to new paths -…

“theirs” in the same breath, Le Guin creates an “other”. The “other” she creates with the phrase “there is theirs” is men, whom she separates from the “you” of women. By separating out men and women into “their” and “you,” Le Guin maintains the dichotomy she created earlier with the use of “we,” allowing her to still connect with the women in the audience while delivering authoritative advice with the pronoun…

Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre explores the feminist oppression present in the mid-19th century. She criticizes the authoritative, often white; male and rich oppressors, whilst sympathizing with the female populous. The imagery evoked through use of the terms “poor, obscure, plain, and little” in succession, serves to emphasize the powerlessness Jane feels at her oppression. Brontë elaborates on this point by her conclusion “[then] I am soulless and heartless”. The terms “soulless” and “heartless”…

Before women declared that it was their right to choose, before Virginia Woolf stated that women needed “A room of their own” in order to find intellectual fulfillment, and long before Votes for Women was chanted, there was The Declaration of Sentiments written in 1848.
